Famous for the thrilling and one of the oldest attractions of North Vancouver called the Capilano Suspension Bridge, the park also features other attractions. These include the 'Treetops Adventure' where you can walk across from one Douglas fir tree to another on bridges and walkways that are attached to tree trunks 30 meter (98.43 feet) above the rain-forest floor. For those enthused with regional folk-art, the cluster of totem poles made by First Nation people is located inside the remote section of the park.

Tussen wat er tentoongesteld wordt in dit centrum Kitsilano bevindt zich de RCMP schoener St. Roch. Deze boot heeft een geschiedenis die kan wedijveren met gelijk welk zeevarend schip: de boot geraakte door de Noordwest Doorgang (en terug) en vaarde rond Noord-Amerika. Er is een referentiebibliotheek en geschenkenwinkel en er zijn mogelijkheden voor banketten en vergaderingen. Het museum ligt bij het Vanier Park.
