Queen Elizabeth Park

The city’s highest point – it’s 167m above sea level and has panoramic views of the mountain-framed downtown skyscrapers – this 52-hectare park claims to house specimens of every tree native to Canada. Sports fields, manicured lawns and two formal gardens keep the locals happy, and you’ll likely also see wide-eyed couples posing for their wedding photos. Check out the synchronized fountains at the park’s summit, where you’ll also find a hulking Henry Moore bronze called Knife Edge – Two Piece. If you want to be taken out to the ball game, the recently restored Nat Bailey Stadium is a popular summer-afternoon haven for baseball fans.
