Lonely Planet review

This area near the park's entrance was originally an extension of Coal Harbour, but by 1916 the bridge was replaced with a causeway, and in 1922 the new body of water was named, transforming itself into a freshwater lake a few years later. Today it's a wild-bird sanctuary and its perimeter path makes for a wonderful nature-bound walk.

The lagoon's Jubilee Fountain, originally at the Chicago World's Fair, was installed here in 1936 to commemorate Vancouver's 50th anniversary. The friendly folk at the excellent Lost Lagoon Nature House provide exhibits and illumination on the park's wildlife, history and ecology.
