This Valentine’s Day, give your beloved a memorable and unique Stanley Park experience…for free! There’s nothing more romantic than a stroll together through a quiet forest…only, this Valentine’s date could win you a return visit on a naturalist-led tour.
Our first ever Stanley Park Valentine’s Photo Scavenger Hunt is a fun way to experience the Park and all it has to offer. Follow the route below and snap your best photos to win a Heron Nest Adoption plus a free Heron Discovery Walk for Two to learn about the Park’s busy heron colony this spring. Email 10 of your shots to sponsors@stanleyparkecology.ca to be entered to win.
Suggested route:
Start at the Nature House viewing platform, head west around Lost Lagoon, continue under the causeway and along the southern seawall to the totem poles. On the north seawall, continue past Girl in a Wetsuit to Lumberman’s Arch. Take the path through Lumberman’s Arch picnic area to end at the Stanley Park bus loop, or head back to Lost Lagoon to complete the infinity loop.
Share your pictures on social media with #HeartStanleyPark and we’ll be sure to retweet your shots through @StanleyPkEcoSoc.
