Vancouver's Community Information
Vanier Park

On English Bay south of False Creek and below the Burrard Bridge, this park is home to a fine beach, a stand of lovely old maple trees and a number of museums. The Vancouver Museum specializes in the history of Vancouver and southwestern BC. On display are historic photos and artifacts, including an exhibit on the Salish Indians. In the same complex is a planetarium with regularly changing, entertaining and educational shows. A five-minute walk away, the Vancouver Maritime Museum has lots of wooden models, some old rowing boats and good displays on the city's rich maritime heritage. It offers tours aboard the St Roch, a 1928 Royal Canadian Mounted Police Arctic patrol sailing ship. Also in Vanier Park are a swimming pool, tennis courts and other sporting grounds. The park is a popular spot, and when the weather's fine, you'll see loads of physically active people taking advantage of the sun.
