Capilano River Regional ParkCapilano River Regional Park227181543http://www.metrovancouver.org/services/parks/PublishingImages/Capilano-River_photo2.gif<div class="ExternalClass0CC9850D12144C32A8F1275A2ABAE753">Lush coastal rainforest and steep canyon walls make this an unforgettable regional park.
