Hastings Park

Hastings Park is one of Vancouver’s largest and most diverse urban parks, offering something for visitors of every pace and interest. The Sanctuary is a lush, forested refuge with meandering pathways, bridges, and a daylighted stream — perfect for bird-watching and quiet reflection — while Il Giardino Italiano and the Momiji Gardens each offer their own distinct atmosphere and beauty. Beyond its green spaces, the park is also home to sports fields, a skatepark, striking public art installations, and the Landy Bannister sculpture commemorating the legendary Miracle Mile. For those feeling lucky, a casino and restaurant operate year-round at the former Hastings Racecourse, making this one of the most multifaceted parks in the city.
