The chinese sculptures of the group of people laughing (A-MAZE-ING Laughter Sculpture) is very nice. It is such a playful and beautiful piece of art, made for everyone to just enjoy it. It's a peaceful and and friendly place to be, see and take pictures. Since it's right at the door to the Stanley Park, getting there is easy and the surroundings are filled with natural beauty and architectonic too. The whole neighborhood" is a very nice place to visit either walking or any other transportation like scooter

Located at the foot of Davie St at Denman I'd been completely unaware of it's designation as a park up until August. It's small but it has a beautiful garden, breathtaking views of English Bay and is home to the A-maze-ing Laughing Statues by artist Yue Minjun of Beijing and depicts himself laughing. Take your camera!

It is a wonderful work of art. Seeing people acting like standing statues is a joyous and funny thing in itself. It is especially fun for parents to see children happy. There is a sandy beach in the area, so it is convenient to stay inspired for a long time. It is convenient for anyone who wants to go on a bicycle tour because there is a bicycle rental nearby. The place is convenient for cycling and has its own road. There are various restaurants and eateries nearby to get something to eat for both children and parents. It is a wonderful place that brings joy to those who visit it.

Fantastic spot all year round. Bus service down Beach, Denman and Davie St. Lots of local wildlife day and night. Watch out for skunks after dark! The pivotal spot for sunsets and live music from pubs and cafés

This place was great. His artistry inspired our smiles, happiness, and laughter. Parking is a bit tricky since one way, closed, or walking streets.

Morton Park is a rather small landscape located near Denman Street and Beach Avenue looking outward toward English Bay..the main focus is the A-maze-ing Laughter bronze sculpture made up of 14 bronze statues portraying the artists image of laughter,playfulness and joy…

This is a must-stop in Vancouver, in my opinion. It's just so joyful, and it's fun to watch everyone exploring the statues. What a wonderful thing to gift to the public.

This eye-catching park is a showpiece of the West End. Brimming with colourful flowers and palm trees, Morton Park celebrates Vancouver’s gentle climate and vibrant spirit. Named for its bounding street, which in turn was named for Vancouver pioneer John Morton, this site’s conversion from housing to park happened sometime after 1910. John Morton was a newly arrived immigrant from Yorkshire, England when he, along with two of his associates, purchased 550 acres of land in the early 1860s. His intention was to build a brick factory and the purchase price of about $1 an acre earned the trio of friends the moniker of “the three greenhorns” as the land was thought worthless. It was John Morton who eventually laughed all the way to the bank when he later subdivided and sold off lots in what was to become Vancouver’s West End. Now the public art amazing laughing statues is a fitting tribute to the founder of the west end.
