We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our 34+ year old Swan (Tammy Stanley). On Monday, February 27, 2023 park staff noticed that the Swan was missing from the pond. After a thorough search around the park, its remains were found in a wooded area near the pond, which leads us to believe that she was overcome by a wild animal overnight.
Our beloved mute swan, who was known by many names to park goers, lived a good long life here at Stanley Park. According to wildlife officials the average life span of a mute swan is 19-20 years.
Matt Soliwoda, who is a long-time park patron and frequent feeder of our feathered flock remembers our swan as intelligent, friendly, and very willing to pose for photographs. According to Matt, the swan has been a great ambassador to her species and enriched the lives of many people and will be missed dearly.
We would like to thank all of our sponsors who have supported Stanley Park's events during the 2022 season! Your generous contributions sustain the Park and our many programs. We thank you and look forward to your support in 2023!

You may have seen that the tennis courts at Stanley Park have been taken down. We are working on reconstruction of the tennis courts to be completed in the Spring. We are now doing preliminary construction work in the Fall before the ground freezes. We are happy to be able to update this area for our patrons.
Help us ensure that Stanley Park will continue to be a safe and positive place for leisure and recreation. No matter what level of support you are able to give, you will help in the continuation of the services and traditions that Stanley Park has offered for over 70 years to so many area families.
