Pacific Spirit Regional Park is a 874 hectares park located in the University Endowment Lands, on Point Grey to the west of the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. It surrounds the endowment lands of the University of British Columbia on the shores of Georgia Strait in the Pacific Ocean. An amazing google maps review described it as "
Plenty of trails to choose from for various activities; nature walks, dog walking, cycling and hiking. If you like more technical hikes, this wouldn't be for you. Low elevation and gravel trails. It is nice and convenient for it being in a bustling city. Very busy though even on a rainy day. There are 🚻 (actual washrooms not outhouses) spread throughout. Parking is street parking which can be limited depending on where you enter from."
