Public washrooms are closed in Stanley Park from July 23. Limited washrooms are somehow open though. Visitors are looking for available washrooms in the park whole day. I feel sorry for them, especially for small children. According to the Vancouver Sun newspaper, the strike will continue for a while. Visitors need to adjust to the situations caused by the strike.

Available Washrooms near Vancouver Aquarium are: at the Information center and Stanley Park Pavilion Cafe.
Visitors need to bring their own toilet paper to the park.

It was sunny and rainy day today. When I was in the park this afternoon, a roll of thunder started. Since there are many tall trees in the park, it's possible that the trees could be struck by lighting. However, after 20 minuets of heavy rain, the sky cleared up, and the park became calm again. The sunset is at 9:22 pm tonight, so people can enjoy walking around the park at dusk.
