Prime parks for a scenic outdoor picnic in Vancouver

A favourite of Vancouver’s East Side residents, John Hendry (aka: Trout Lake) Park offers a diverse range of picnic locales. With easy access to Commercial Drive, this scenic venue attracts family reunions and hipster hangouts alike. Choose from beaches, wharfs, lawns, and sturdy picnic tables, where there’s always room even on busy weekends. On the way, consider grabbing your goods from one of the many delis on Commercial Drive or, better yet, from the Trout Lake Farmers Market. From May to October of each year, vendors provide everything you need for impressing your pals with a picnic of local ingredients.
