Instructions for using Stanley Park Explorer

The "City Explorer: Vancouver Seawall and Stanley Park" user interface is a fun way to explore Vancouver and Stanley Park. The controls are easy and intuitive. Here is a list of what you can do:

Pan around the map by clicking and dragging.
Zoom In/Out by using the mouse wheel or the zoom slider bar in the top left.
Roll over the icons to reveal pictures and information.
Click on the icons to "take you there".
The arrow keys at the top of some pictures mean there is more than one picture for that point.
Navigate from point to point (following real Stanley Park trails) using the arrow keys.
Click on the icons above the legend button to turn on/off the various icon symbols (helps you to de-clutter your Stanley Park map).
Some popups (such as businesses) have additional information and/or direct links to another website.
Click on the taps in the right filmstrip to reveal categorized locations.
Click on the thumbnails to take you there on the map.
The Interactive Map window can be resized to taste.
Click on the "Search Results" tab to type in text to search on. This enables you to find specific places in Stanley Park or Vancouver.

How to Get There

Whilst there is ample parking scattered throughout Stanley Park, it is recommended to travel there by public transport, especially on busy summer weekends when parking spaces are at a premium for "late risers". Waterfront Skytrain station offers the best access to Stanley Park if you want to take in the Seafront of Coal Harbor on the way there. Once you've negotiated the various construction sites near to the Skytrain Station the route is very easy to follow! Alternatively, leaving the Skytrain at Burrard Station takes you to within a block of Georgia Street, down which a multitude of buses head off towards Stanley Park. Be sure to check with the bus driver that the bus you are taking stops near the entrance to the park, as some go straight through. The number #19 bus takes you to the Stanley Park Loop, which is a convenient location from which to explore the majority of the park's main attractions. This can be caught on Pender Street or on Georgia Street (west of Cardero). Western portions of Stanley Park can be accessed from buses that run down Davie Street and Beach Avenue. For more details check out the Translink Website. A free Shuttle Bus operates in Stanley Park from June through September. This does a big circuit of the whole park taking in 15 of the most popular destinations. It's "hop on - hop off" and is a great way to explore the park if you want to minimize your walking.
