Getting Here

3690 Park Rd, North Vancouver, BC V7J 1Z1

๐Ÿš‡ Transit

Getting here by transit requires a bus ride from a major North Shore hub like Lonsdale Quay or Phibbs Exchange. Several routes drop you within a 10-15 minute walk of the park entrance, so check your favourite transit app for the best connection.

๐Ÿš— Parking

Parking is notoriously challenging, especially on sunny weekends when the main lot fills up before mid-morning. Arrive very early or be prepared for a frustrating search for limited overflow and residential street parking.
