Prime parks for a scenic outdoor picnic in Vancouver
In keeping with East Vancouver’s trademark blend of industry and nature, this long and narrow park located on the Burnaby border provides a unique setting for picnicking amongst views of Vancouver’s North Shore, Burrard Inlet, and the fascinating Cascadia grain elevators. An outdoor swimming pool, playground, tennis courts, and concession stand entertain families in summertime, while a rocky beach and several trails offer year-round walking that’s especially rewarding after a filling meal.

Off-the-beaten-path places to take Vancouver visitors
Nestled close to Vancouver’s eastern boundary, New Brighton Park’s odd location makes it easy to miss. It’s an industrial area with grain elevators and the Second Narrows Bridge to the east, and the mountains, Burrard Inlet, and a remarkable view of downtown Vancouver to the west. The 10 hectares of Waterfront Park includes a sandy beach, an off-leash dog area, picnic tables, and an outdoor pool (open from May to September) that’s second only to Kitsilano’s famed saltwater pool. I highly recommend timing your visit with sunset; It’s one of the city’s best spots to watch it go down.
