Location
Getting Here
4600 Cambie St, Vancouver, BC
🚇 Transit
Getting here by transit is your best bet, as the park is located right on a major bus corridor and just a short walk from the Canada Line's King Edward Station. Multiple bus routes stop directly at the park entrance on Cambie Street.
🚗 Parking
Pay parking lots are located within the park, with the largest one at the top near the conservatory. These spots are in high demand and fill up extremely fast on sunny days and weekends, so plan to arrive early or be patient.
