Riverfront Park

Prime parks for a scenic outdoor picnic in Vancouver

At the foot of Victoria Drive in Vancouver’s Kilarney neighbourhood, Riverfront Park (named for its proximity to the powerful Fraser River) is famous for its pathways lined with roses and poplars, which you are encouraged to gawk at on your way to the picnic site. Tables on a raised and covered platform ensure you can dine here even in a rainstorm, while a series of informative plaques provide a rare opportunity for feasting as you learn about the river’s rich industrial history and thriving ecosystems.
