2026 Stanley Park Mini Golf Experience
The Stanley Park Mini Golf Experience is an exciting, brand-new temporary 18-hole public attraction launching directly on Canada Day — Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
Brought to life by the Vancouver-based B Corp design firm Studio Meanwhile, this interactive pop-up occupies the cleared staging tracks of the historic Stanley Park Miniature Train.
The concept is masterfully engineered to blend the serene wellness benefits of forest bathing with a highly imaginative, artful, and geometric short-game course. The layout is fully optimized to challenge and entertain all generations, skill levels, and age brackets.
The experience features a split layout design. The front half presents nine beginner-friendly holes mapping out a playful design, while deeper down the rabbit hole wait nine surreal, world-warping, and complex geometric challenges for players who want to keep exploring.
A Whimsical Mini-Golf Wonderland
Every single putting green on the circuit features its own unique narrative identity, larger-than-life sculptural assets, and geometric optical illusions. Some of the most notable themed holes you will play include:
Lush, oversized forest obstacles
Mind-bending structural patterns
Deceptive slope variations
The ultimate time-warping finale
Park Board staff introduced this temporary pop-up activation to generate revenue and breathe new life into the train courtyard while the formal public bidding process for a brand-new permanent train attraction continues behind the scenes.
