Driving
Enter Stanley Park from West Georgia Street and stay left on Stanley Park Drive. Follow the loop counterclockwise past the totem poles. Brockton Oval and the Park Board parking lot are on your left a couple of hundred metres later.
Parking is paid by licence plate, and the lot is usually quiet by 6pm.
Transit
Taking the SkyTrain to Waterfront Station is the quickest way from most of the city. From there, walk the seawall (20 to 25 minutes) or take the #19 bus into Stanley Park and walk the last 5 minutes.
From Burnaby it's about 15 minutes on the Expo Line to Waterfront. From the North Shore, the SeaBus also gets you to Waterfront.
Cycling
The seawall is the easiest route by bike from downtown, the West End and Kitsilano (over the Burrard Bridge). There's bike parking at the oval.
From the North Shore, cross Lions Gate Bridge to Prospect Point and follow the road or seawall down to Brockton.
Walking
From Coal Harbour or the West End, it's a 15 to 25 minute walk along the seawall. You'll pass the Vancouver Rowing Club clubhouse on the way, at the park entrance on Coal Harbour.
