Sea Gull swallows a flouder

2011-11-26T12:04:26-08:00

I saw a sea gull trying to sallow a flounder as a whole piece last month. There are many kind of fishes around Stanley Park. It seems like September and October are the best season to catch a special kind of fish. Some local fishermen appear at the seawall as well as sea gulls.

Theft from Auto at Stanley Park

2009-02-26T12:24:10-08:00

Many cars have been broken into by thefts at the parking lot near Vancouver Aquarium. Visitors at Aquarium should not leave any valuable things in their cars. The area has been targeted by thefts for many years. There should be a security system at this particular parking lot. It is so sad to see the visitors whose cars are broken into in Vancouver. Please check the crime map by Vancouver police. http://vancouver.ca/police/CrimeMaps/tfauto.pdf

The City worker's strike is finally over

The City worker's strike is finally over this week. Services and facilities of parks are now open.

Public Washroom closed in Stanley Park due to the city workers' strike

2007-07-24T07:25:12-07:00

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.

Thunder

2007-06-24T20:10:33-07:00

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.
