The top of this beautifully maintained 52 hectare (130 acre) park is the highest point in

         the city, at 167m (505 ft) above sea level. From the lookouts, visitors have a 360

         degree view of the Vancouver skyline. The park receives nearly 6 million visitors a year

         who marvel at its superior standard of garden plantings. A former stone quarry,

          the park was developed in the 1950s to include a pitch & putt golf course, paths and

         display gardens, and a large arboretum. The Bloedel Conservatory geodesic dome was

         added in 1969.
