Lonely Planet review

Winding around Kitsilano Point and eventually connecting with Kits Beach, waterfront Vanier Park is more a host site than a destination. Home to three museums, it's also the evocative venue for the tents of the annual Vancouver International Children's Festival and the summertime Bard on the Beach Shakespeare extravaganza.

If you want to avoid the sweaty crush in English Bay on fireworks night , bring your blanket and spread out here; you'll have great views of the aerial shenanigans among a convivial and family-friendly crowd. The park is also a good picnic spot - bring some takeout from nearby Granville Island and watch the kite flyers strut their stuff.
