 City
Greenway: Seaside Route
 The
Seaside Route is the most popular route in the Vancouver Greenway system.
For many, a walk on the Stanley Park Seawall is the essence of Vancouver.
The Seawall is part of this 20 km route that follows the shoreline from
Spanish Banks, around False Creek, English Bay and Stanley Park to Coal
Harbour. The Seaside Route is also part of the City's
Bicycle Route Network and will eventually extend along Burrard Inlet
to Main St.
 Used
throughout the year by residents and visitors, this greenway comes alive
in summer when numerous events including dragon boat racing, fireworks,
music festivals and sand castle competitions attract large crowds. Equally
enjoyable are relaxing activities such as walking, jogging, cycling, beachcombing
and sightseeing. The route also passes by the plant and animal habitats
of the foreshore, the forest of Stanley
Park and the marsh at Jericho Park.
