Lush old growth forest, sparkly waters and a lovely view of Vancouver’s city centre await you when you head to Lighthouse Park.

This park is perfect for days when you feel like taking a ‘personal day’ from work or skipping school. It’s easy to get to on a long bus ride from downtown Vancouver—the view from the bus is lovely. . . and you can feel your lungs fill with fresh, clean air as you move further away from the city centre.

This is a nice stopover on a drive north from Vancouver or to Vancouver Island, or great for a few hours away from the city.

There are number of short hikes around Lighthouse Park for those that want to explore a bit of the area.

Recommended for: nature-lovers, picnic-goers, (not too young) children. . .but make sure you watch them as the rocks can be slippery.

How to get here: Take 250 Horseshoe Bay bus—it takes 45 min. to 1 hour from downtown Vancouver.
