Stanley Park Mini Golf
The Stanley Park Train area is getting a new, temporary mini golf experience for the summer, opening on July 1st featuring late night play on weekends with DJ sets and more.
Stanley Park Mini Golf
- When: Starting July 1 until fall 2026, the course will be open daily, Sunday to Wednesday from 10:00am to 9:00pm; Thursday to Saturday from 10:00am to 11:00pm.
- Where: 690 Pipeline Road at the site of the Stanley Park Train
- Admission: $16–$18 plus tax for nine holes and $23–$25 plus tax for 18-holes and a Family Package available for $90 plus tax. Children under three play free. Tickets and full pricing details are available online.
The course invites guests to find their adventure through a whimsical mini-golf wonderland. Designs feature an artful take on geometric patterns with a playful spirit, open to all ages young and old.
Nine beginner-friendly holes make up the front half of the course, while nine more challenging, world-warping holes wait further down the rabbit hole for guests who want to keep exploring. Hole names like Mushroom Patch, Escher’s Pass, Gravity Well, and Chronal Abyss hint at the surreal, larger-than-life design running throughout the course.
“We wanted to build something that feels like you’ve stepped through a hidden door in the middle of Stanley Park to a new experience that blends forest bathing and a unique mini golf adventure,” said Chris Charest, Principal at Studio Meanwhile, the studio that designed and built the course, and will operate the experience. “Every hole has its own story and design, and our hope is that people leave with a few good photos and an excuse to come back and play all 18 again.”
Recurring Afternoon / Evening Events
- DJ Pablo Vinyl Nights, Thursday through Saturday evenings from 5:00pm to 9:00pm
- Wonderland Weekends, Saturday and Sunday afternoons
The Vancouver Park Board is currently engaged in a process to identify an updated and reimagined attraction for the Stanley Park Train site. While this process is underway Park Board staff are pursuing opportunities to activate the Stanley Park Train site with temporary attractions that attract new audiences and generate revenues to support parks and recreation services.
The Stanley Park Mini Golf Experience follows the delivery of the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest event at this location earlier this year, for which the Park Board rightfully apologized to the 2SLGBTQI+ community for this harmful oversight.
If you would like to experience nature-themed events, Stanley Park Ecology has a variety of programs, walks, and talks hosted throughout the year.
