Description

As the name suggests, this parkland is a perfect place for a beachside amble or jog. It has views of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, and the Lions Gate Bridge. It is a popular meeting place for nature lovers and health buffs. It has a fitness circuit, dog path, bird sanctuary, pitch 'n' putt and the Centennial Seawalk.
