Cycling in Stanley Park

After lunch at Dinesty, we found Yes Cycle just a block away.


It's located at 687 Denman Street. You can rent a bike for CA$7 for the 1st hour. Each subsequent hour is CA$1 less--CA$6 for the 2nd hour, CA$5 for the 3rd hour and so on. The rental rate includes a helmet and a lock.

Stanley Park is located just a few blocks away. You can bike the 9 km seawall path, which takes less than an hour, if you don't stop. With stops, expect to spend 2 hours. You can also walk the path, which takes 2-3 hours. There is a carriage tour if you don't want to walk or bike.


First Nations Totem Poles at Brockton Point. There are explanations of the significance of the 9 totem poles. 


Brockton Point Lighthouse


View of the Girl in a Wetsuit and the yellow sulphur piles in the distance. 


When you see the dragon boat, pull off the path to see the Girl. You can also get a good view of Lions Gate Bridge from here.


The Girl in a Wetsuit resembles the Little Mermaid but this is actually a bigger statue than the mermaid.


I love this cairn, which can be found on the beach.


Siwash Rock, a famous outcropping with a tree on top.


Just outside of Stanley Park in Morton Park, you'll come upon the A-maze-ing Laughter Sculpture. It's supposed to inspire laughter, playfulness and joy in everyone who sees it.
