I like the park as a start for the BMO Marathon/Half Marathon. It's accessible, clean and looks like a nice place to hang out on a weekend. I should try seeing it at another time besides 6am, before a race though!

It's a great spot to visit especially on a clear day as you can get amazing views of the city. The arboretum and the fountain are the main attractions here. The garden is well maintained; though there weren't many flowers blooming in May.

With all the spring flowers in bloom, this park is at its best. The general upkeep of the gardens could be improved - ie beds weed, etc - but it is still a beautiful, peaceful oasis in the middle of busy Vancouver.

This was my 2nd visit to Seasons in the Park and this restaurant really is something to savour in food and the beautiful surroundings, not a place to rush your meal at all, just sit and enjoy. We had a great meal and I look forward to going again when I am in Vancouver.

Queen Elizabeth Park was the start line for the Vancouver Marathon. It was beautiful. Very lush and beautiful with a very nice surrounding neighborhood. It's a bit far from downtown but a 20 minute ride on the Canada Line from downtown, plus a 15-minute stroll gets you from the 41st Street station gets you there.

This small park was a real surprise. It is right in the middle of a city area. The grounds are well maintained and the flowers are beautiful. The trails are pleasant. The park and walks are free. There is a charge for the conservatory. A beautifully situated restaurant overlooks a quarry like area of the gardens.

The park is small for the punch it packs with beautifully landscaped gardens and a great view of the City from it's highest point. It offers terrific photo ops.

The gardens were beautiful, especially the tulips. I was not aware that there was this amazing city view as well. This was the highlight for me. Perfect stop on a sunny day. Conservatory not really worth the fee, unless you're a bird-lover.

This is a lovely middle-of-the-city gem offering spectacular mountain and city views. The walking paths are interesting, as are the gardens...come in any season it always has something to offer, and the restaurant located in the park offers tasty fare at realistic (read not-a-tourist-trap) prices...I was pleasantly surprised!
