Parking
Parking is generous at Vancouver Lake Regional Park. Pass the Vancouver Lake boathouse and continue straight down the road to the park entrance. Parking fee is $3 per car (cash/card) as you enter. Save your receipt if you need to leave for any reason.
Cash is faster at the gate as the lines will get long for entry each morning.
