Stanley Park is the jewel of Vancouver. It covers almost 400 ha and
is located on a peninsula adjacent to the City center. One of the
Park's key features is its large area of coastal rainforest.
Managing Stanley Park includes many divergent aspects of nature
conservation, recreation and native heritage. The book begins with
some theoretical background knowledge about the urban parks
movement in North America and the management of urban parks. Also,
the City of Vancouver and its region are introduced, including
information about First Nations. The subsequent chapters refer to
Stanley Park. After some Park history, the various recreational
facilities in Stanley Park are described. Then, the Park's role for
nature conservation in its urban environment is discussed. Another
chapter deals with the native heritage of Stanley Park. The book
further reflects the Park's multifunctional role and its conflicts,
and reveals current management aspects and challenges. Oral
interviews with several stakeholders of Stanley Park constituted an
important source of information.
