I lived in vancouver for 4 months. I did this almost every second day and it just never lost its magic. the scenery is jaw dropping, the atmosphere is so relaxing and the contentment in everyone's face is tangible.

Head for Stanley Park and follow the coast

Cricket in Vancouver? Yes. Since the late 1800s.
Don Bradman said it best about Brockton Point ground: "In my opinion, the Brockton Point ground is the prettiest upon which it has been my pleasure to play. It is a really magnificent setting."

If only all cricket could be played in places like this. Harbour, mountains, forest. Bella, bella, bella. Whites on green. Relax after a day of sightseeing.

Brockton Point is located in Stanley Park. There's usually cricket on Sundays and if you see my mates from the Meraloma Club playing, say hello.
