Parc Volunteer - Vancouver, British Columbia

This park space is easily available from Point Grey Road and populated by poplar trees with extensive views of Burrard Inlet and the very popular North Shore views..there is an extensive bike lane trail available.. there are very comfortable benches and the stairway to the seashore is easily available.. one of our favourite relaxation spots to just sit/stand and listen to the music of the waves meeting the beachfront..of course at lower tides one can wander the extensive Point Grey Road Park Foreshore both east and west as some of the photos I have taken show how absolutely beautiful it is…the steps to the seashore are at the eastern edge of the park…

There's a tiny sliver of beach nestled at the north end of the park and accessible only by stairs. A new fav spot for a quick ocean dip. Generally 4-5 other people around on the beach during peak times in the summer, but even then theres just enough beach sprawl to keep you separated by 20-30 feet if you're like me and want/need that. Dog friendly park with benches, beach, and a view. No playground, no restrooms here - Nearby Tatlow Park is a better pick for those needs.

Volunteer Park, nestled in the heart of Seattle, is a true urban oasis. This sprawling green space offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. As you enter, the meticulously maintained lawns and vibrant flower beds are immediately striking. The park's centerpiece, a vintge conservatory, houses an impressive collection of tropical plants and exotic flowers, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts.

My favourite place in kitsilano. It is a very small park but it has an amazing view in all the seasons. It's very quiet as well, there are some benches that you can sit and enjoy the view.

Tucked between residences, Volunteer Park allows the serene views of English Bay to filter into the neighbourhood. Towering poplar and locust trees line a pathway that leads to the pebble beach below.

This site was once the location of Seagate Manor and two other smaller, private residences. They were all demolished in 1977 after being purchased through the Park Board's Land Acquisition Fund. The purchasing of waterfront property along Point Grey Road, to open it for public access, has long been an objective of the Park Board.

In 1985 the Park Board was petitioned by the Vancouver Volunteer Centre to name this area Volunteer Park in recognition of all city volunteers and as part of Vancouver's Centennial Celebrations.

Very peaceful park with a good view of the city and the mountains. There are lots of walkers and bikers around. It’s a family friendly and dog friendly place. There are benches available and trees providing good shade that makes it a really nice place to read and relax. What a gem!

Today we watched Honda Celebration of Light Vancouver July 23 on the shore of Volunteer Park. It is the best place for it. Do not spent time by looking for the place to watch fireworks, go directly to Volunteer Park. 👍

It's a great spot to watch the sunset with mountains and the city in the background.
