Vancouver's Community Information
Queen Elizabeth Park

Vancouver's second largest park occupies the highest point in the city. At the base are a beautiful sunken garden surrounded by small cliffs and some fantastic plants, and an Oriental-style garden filled with pools and fountains. The centerpiece of the park is the hilltop Bloedel Conservatory, where you can peruse flora from three climate zones and observe 50 species of free-flying tropical birds. The walk up to the conservatory affords splendid views of the city. The highlight of the nearby VanDusen Botanical Gardens is the Elizabethan Hedge Maze. You can also see a fine collection of ornamental plants. Queen Elizabeth Park is about 5km (3mi) south of Gastown; the VanDusen Botanical Gardens are a few minutes' walk west of Queen Elizabeth Park.
