ultimatemaniaccruiser Posted December 18, 2006 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm sorry to say that Stanley Park, the largest municipal park in Canada has been devasted by a massive wind storm. During the height of the storm winds were huricane force and caused huge portions of the trees to blow down. Some areas have only a few trees left standing. The park is now closed and it could take a while to re-open it. The good news is that I guarantee it will be opened again in time for the restart fo the 2007 Alaska cruising season. The bad news it will never be the same again :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbcray Posted December 18, 2006 #2 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Sorry to hear that. We had the same storm blitz through America's Vancouver, Washington USA. Trees down, electrcity out, roofs torn off from houses, houses smashed by Fir trees. Then it snowed the next day and has been very cold down here!! We hope all is better up north. But hey, we are headed south in about 5 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benolathe Posted December 18, 2006 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2006 That is sad. We are planning to visit Stanley Park in June before our cruise. Hope the park will be open by then - the walk around the Sea Wall looks very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
