Queen Elizabeth Park

Queen Elizabeth Park is kind of in the middle of Vancouver so it's a good midpoint between my Vancouver friends and I. I've been there once before with my mom and it was really nice so I decided to meet up with Jessica and 6 month old Abigail for a walk.

Parking

There's free parking for 2 hours at Hillcrest Community Centre across the street from the park. We were going to eat at the pub in the centre but it was closed so we ended up going to Seasons in the Park instead.

Seasons in the Park

I can't believe I've never heard of the views from this place. It's amazing! I would definitely want to take out of towners here. We got to have the whole patio to ourselves. The trek to the place from Hillcrest is a bit steep but it's a nice work out.

The Park

After some yummy burgers for lunch we started to walk around the park and when I say around I literally mean on the border of. Going around in a stroller has definitely made me much more aware of the accessibility of places for people in wheelchairs. The only stroller friendly portion of the park was on the outside perimeter. We didn't see any way of going into the center where the main fauna was. It is also only wide enough for one stroller. It was really quick to do the whole thing and by then our car was pushing our 2 hour limit so we had to go back anyway.

Not so good for strollers. Would go back wearing baby instead. Seasons in the Park was a great lunch spot though!
