8 Roads in Stanley Park in Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Surprisingly, there are only 8 roads in Stanley Park despite the park's large size. Basically, there is one main road, Stanley Park Drive, which goes around the perimeter of the park, one main highway, Stanley Park Causeway, that cuts through the park, and a few other roads (Pipeline Road Avison Way Lagoon Drive North Lagoon Drive Park Lane Rose Garden Lane) within the park.
We will describe each road and what you need to know to get around Stanley Park by driving. We will also provide information about Road Closures.
2022-04-13 UPDATE: One of the lanes of Stanley Park Drive is still a 'temporary' bicycle lane so all vehicle traffic has only 1 lane. Expect delays!
