VANCOUVER – They don’t call it the ‘jewel’ of Vancouver for nothing.

It is one of the largest urban parks in North America, visited every year by about eight million people.

It beat out New York’s Central Park and the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris to take the top spot.

It is based on reviews submitted to the website TripAdvisor.
