Here, outdoor activities are abundantly available all year round, so it’s really a matter of temperature preference. You’ll probably have to deal with West Coast rain every once in a while, but that’s what dressing appropriately is for. There’s indeed an endless stream of outdoor activities ranging from skiing and swimming to hiking and biking, so take your pick. If you’re looking for something a little more unhurried and leisurely, there’s also plenty of options to choose from 365 days of the year. We’ve rounded up a list of some of our favorite outdoor activities just for you, so take a look:
There’s nothing like the great outdoors, and with hiking, you’ll get to exercise your body and inspire your mind with amazing scenery. Lynn Canyon Park is just a 15-minute drive from downtown Vancouver, and that’s definitely just a stone’s throw away. Here, you can also enjoy tons of other outdoor activities such as walking the suspension bridge, visiting the Ecology Centre and so much more.

With more than 70+ vendors every week, you can definitely rest assured that this is something worth checking out. It’s located in the Nat Bailey Stadium parking lot, and whether you’re looking to stock up on fresh fruits, meats and vegetables or just wish to sample and enjoy the season’s offerings on the spot, this is a great place to do so.

Here, you’ll get to enjoy fantastic views of Yaletown and False Creek, and if you’re dressed well for the weather and your intended activities, there’s no reason why you can’t have a whale of a time.
