Free "Around the Park" Stanley Park Shuttle Begins Tuesday June 14^th

June 10, 2005 (No. 48) - The Stanley Park Shuttle is back once again as a FREE, fun and convenient alternative to car travel throughout the park. From June 14th to September 18th, 10 am to 6:30 pm daily, park visitors can board the shuttle at 14 convenient stops around the park. The Shuttle makes it easy to plan an all day outing to the park for families and out of town guests. A family can park their car, visit the Children's Farmyard and ride the Stanley Park Miniature Railway, board the Shuttle for lunch at one of the park's restaurants and then take the Shuttle to Second Beach Pool for an afternoon swim.

The Shuttle operates every 15 minutes and stops at 14 of the most popular sites and facilities. It takes approximately 45 minutes for the entire trip around the park. The Shuttle is provided by the Vancouver Park Board as part of its effort to preserve the environment of one of the Lower Mainland's most beautiful and well-visited parks.

Those planning to arrive at the park by transit should contact TransLink at 604-953-3333 or visit their web site at www.translink.ca .
