What to do and see in Riley Park, Canada: The Best Things to do

January 26, 2022 Jana Sager

Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

Queen Elizabeth Park

Situated on Little Mountain - the highest point in Vancouver proper - this former rock quarry has been converted into a beautiful city park with flower gardens, public art, grassy knolls, and panoramic views over the city.

Reviewed By DrTM8 - Vancouver, Canada

The Queen Elizabeth Park is a 52-hectare park, located 152 metres above sea level. It’s the highest point in Vancouver and makes for spectacular views of the park, city, and mountains on the North Shore. It is also home to the stunning Bloedel Conservatory. There is also a gorgeously landscaped quarry garden, the arboretum with its collection of exotic and native trees, sculptures including one by internationally renowned artist Henry Moore, and diverse recreational offerings such as tennis, lawn bowling and pitch & putt. The park is also the perfect setting for fine dining at Seasons in the Park, a picnic or stargazing!

Cineplex The Park Theatre

Reviewed By PikoVancouver

What few people do not know is that The Park is one of two theatres in Canada that screens 70mm film prints. The other is in Toronto. I saw my favourite film, 2001: A Space Odyssey several times during the 50th anniversary release in 2018. I've seen The Hateful Eight and Once upon a Time in Hollywood in 70mm.Today, I will see Tenet in 70mm. When The Hateful Eight screened in 70mm, I recall reading that only 50 theatres in North America can do that. That makes The Park a hidden gem!
