Formerly the location of the evening Medal ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics, its now a beautiful spot for a morning walk and comes alive in the evening! The movie nights and concerts bring together people of all ages and nationalities to dance, relax and enjoy the fun! It has a stunning backdrop of trees and mountains and I love the fact that our kids loved playing in the park while they were young and now enjoy exploring the village themselves and grabbing a bite to eat before the concert. Plenty of places nearby to grab a bite, covered picnic areas

Fitzsimmons Fan Park is tucked away on the right side of Green Lake in front of Nicklaus North Golf Course. Its an easy stroll from Table 19 restaurant on the course and if you are not visiting the course, you'll need to park in the parking lot designated for Dream River Park. The main area of this park is a sandy Delta that sticks out quite far into the lake. Its a great area for those that love fishing and this park is very dog friendly. Its almost like a sandy beach in the middle of a lake and my three fur babies love getting their feet wet in the water and digging holes. I have seen many owners allows their dogs to roam around off leash so I think its ok to do that, just make sure to watch your surroundings for bears. There have been many bear sightings by others in this area and I've seen the trail leading up to the sandy delta covered in bear poop. The views behind the lake of mount currie are spectacular and even during the summer time, the peaks up there are still snow capped. It makes for amazing photos and a different contrast between beautiful blue water and sky and the snow of the mountains. It's also nice to set up a few beach chairs, have lunch and watch the seaplanes fly in from Victoria and Vancouver. Overall this is a spectacular spot to take in the lake and mountain beauty of Whistler!

I guess I had a different image in my head. Some grass areas were wet/muddy due to sprinklers, and most of the good sitting areas were already taken. The water is cold and just doesn't look too clean - but maybe this is normal for lakes? I probably only stayed in the water for 5 minutes before I started wondering if I would catch something. If swimming in the lake is not for you, I think there is also a hiking trail nearby.

I'd you're wondering if it's worth it to go to the Coca Cola Tube Park at Whistler, this is the…read moreright review to read! First I'll give details of how it works, then I'll give my opinion. You start by waiting in line to purchase tickets to slide down. The is the first line, and depending on what time of day and how busy it is, I can take 20-minutes or so to purchase your tickets. Once you get your tickets, then you have to get in line to get a tube. So, it depends if someone sliding down has used up all their time, to determine if they'll return their tube back to the line. More on this below. Waiting the line to get a tube can take another 20-minutes or so. Once you get a tube, you can drag it up the hill to the line to slide down. At the base of the hill, their are attendants that write the time on your ticket. And, basically you have 60 minutes to slide once you've started. There's a conveyor that takes you up to the top and it actually goes kind of quickly once you've made it to that line. The sliding down is fun, and if you're with kids, they will love it. Now you know how it works, you'll have to decide if you want to endure the line, but it was kind of tolerable. Although I'd probably not do it again, now that I have. If you're not skiing, this is a good thing to do to experience the gondola ride up and the mountain. Also there's a tobogganing option in Olympic Park where they did the x-country skiing and stuff for the Winter Olympics. That is cheaper, less daring and about 20-minute drive from the Village.

I'm sure this has a lot to do with timing, but we spent a lot of the time waiting. They wouldn't let you go until the previous person was completely out of the course, and while I understand they are trying to keep things safe, it just added up to a lot of waiting in line. If I had kids or something, who couldn't ski or snowboard, I'd see coming here would make sense. Would I go for my own pleasure again? Nah I'll stick to snowboarding.

I just wish the customer service matched how great the experience on the track was.

This concerned me greatly as I had wrongly assumed, with this being on offer to the public, that there would be considerably more safety protocols in place. Concerned and unwilling to risk it for a 1 minute thrill ride, I decided to cancel within less than 24 hours after booking - well within their at least 24 hours before event date cancellation policy for a full refund. (I had scheduled for June 2026). However, I could find no way to cancel using the ticket information/profile. Despite reaching out to them multiple times via email since February regarding the cancellation, to date I have received no response and they have not cancelled as requested. Forced to do a chargeback against them. Disappointing.

They have a parking lot, and we had no issues with finding a spot at that time. It's a short, easy trail to the falls - maybe about 10 minutes. The falls are big but is unfortunately partially blocked by foliage and rocks. If you keep going, you'll get some views of the mountains and a greenish blue lake. It's a nice and quick stop if you're driving on the way to something else, but probably not something worth making a stop specifically for.

Our fragile little Southern Californian bodies braved the cold to try out snowshoeing, and Whistler…read moreOlympic Park was the perfect place to do so. We rented our snowshoes from the main lodge, which also had cross country ski rentals (apparently 90km of cross country trails, whatever that is in miles), snowboards, tobogganing, and so many more wintery things that are completely separate from my understanding of normal outdoor activities. I mean, where else can you find biathlon lessons? Obviously the surrounding area is gorgeous in winter, a wonderland of quiet white stillness, forests and forests of evergreens, and creek beds lined with powdery snow and ice. There are frequent signs and maps to keep you oriented along the snowshoeing trails, which was great for us noobs. You can do anything from short out-and-back trips to several miles of strenuous trails. One star docked because I thought the snowshoes were pretty pricey for a rental - a flat rate of $16 regardless of the time you spend with them. They definitely did not seem to be in high demand either as there were dozens of pairs behind the register. Maybe instead do an hourly rate instead? This is in addition to a per-person entry fee to the park. Also, some of the cross county skiers were surprisingly rude when we stepped on their track - I get we were in the wrong, but have a little grace and chill out just a bit.

Supposedly this happens every year, yet the earliest email they sent about this closure was ONLY 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE CLOSURE. They offered no immeditae compensation or solution for consumers, unless they went out of your way to call them. They directly lied on the phone saying email notification was given much earlier than 3 days prior, yet refused to provide a date or further information on these supposed notifications... they offered 20% bonus days as compensation for taking away 66% of the services.... They falsely claim that they have no obligation to provide 100% services due to their terms of service, that is not true... this bait and switch is fraud and not permitted in Canada.
