Vanier Park

Great place to kite watch, or fly your own. Serious goose poo, watch where you sit. And step.

Garry Point Park

Beautiful park with good kite winds, near Steveston, and it did we mention fish and chips, and ice cream?
12011 Seventh Avenue, Richmond

Kites and Puppets

Beautiful kites for all levels of flying – it’s a small shop so not always a huge selection.
1496 Cartwright Street, Granville Island, Vancouver, (604) 685-9877

Ambleside Park

Beachside kite flying with a view of the Lionsgate Bridge. Can get busy on sunny weekends.
West Vancouver, (604) 925-7275

Kites on Clouds

Good selection of showier, and pricier, kites. Prices go up to $200, check the tags before going to the cashier!
