clockwise you'll be going against the flow). For vehicle traffic, the main entrance to Stan-
ley Park is at the beginning of Stanley Park Drive, which veers right from the end of Ge-
orgia Street; on foot, follow Denman Street to its north end and you'll find a pathway
leading around Coal Harbour into the park. Either way, you'll pass a small information
booth where park maps are available. Just before the booth, take Pipeline Road to access
Malkin Bowl,
home to outdoor theater productions; a
rose garden;
and forest-encircled
Beaver Lake.
North on Pipeline Road from the main entrance is
miniature railway

Pipeline Road rejoins Stanley Park Drive near the Lions Gate Bridge, but by not returning
to the park entrance you'll miss most of the following sights.
