Took Hope (https://www.facebook.com/pages/HOPE/162320257253072) here for the first time today and…read morewe had a wonderful time. it was a bit too hot for us (28C) so we took it easy and made sure we spent a lot of time plunging into the cold river. To start, of all the dog parks i've been to since i've moved here, the people by far are the nicest. they spend a lot of time with their dogs and there are a lot of families here, which is really nice to see. Located just north (i believe) of the airport, there is a large parking lot and a short walk to the beach. there is a path going to the end (which we didn't get to) and while there is a lot of big rock separately the river from the beach, there are substantial cleared areas so the dogs have easy access to the water in several places. As it was so hot there were a lot of dogs in the water - however there was a fairly strong current so i wouldn't advise encouraging your dog to fetch unless they are good swimmers. I met a lovely lady when i first arrived who gave me a layout of the land. she said if i walked there during low tide there was a great area towards the end of the park (you could tell it was the end because there was a pirate sign) where we could walk out quite a ways. will look forward to spending more time there when the weather is a bit cooler!

**Update 2/19/2019**…read more I still love this park! And, living nearby, I walk my dog here at least three times each day. I was recently checking out my past reviews and noticed this one and I realized I neglected to mention a few points about this park: -unlike most other dog parks (okay, unlike ALL other dog parks, really), this one is unfenced. So if your dog is not well socialized (like mine), or doesn't obey commands or isn't well trained (like mine), or if you're afraid he/she might run away if he/she sees a squirrel or a low-lying crow or God-knows-what (like mine), you'd best be advised to keep your dog on a leash at this park. I do. -there's a free-standing post in the park containing free doggie waste bags, if you forgot to bring some. Nice! PLEASE remember to pick up after your dog! -there are two stone sculptural reclining animals (a tiger and a lion, I think) at the north side of the park, closer to the Cambie Bridge, and these sculptures are actually water fountains for dogs (!). In the warmer months, metal dog bowls are placed under the sculptures' mouths and there's a button to push that will fill these bowls with water, so Fido can have a drink. Nice! -there's a super nice playground area for toddlers and kids hidden between two condo buildings to the east in the park, with a lot of benches nearby. This playground area is open to the public and has modern, modular pieces. (This playground is separate from the one directly under the Cambie Bridge, just a few steps away, literally). Nice!

The entrances are both on the opposite side of the water (probably to keep the dogs safe from getting tangled with the bike lane). Park is mostly cedar chips with some sand. Some trees for shading and there is a water fountain too.

Stumbled this little place by an accident but I'm so glad…read more First off: the area is super nice. Stunning massive homes. Some are gated. Most are just stunning. Massive beach. You can use the scenic way all the way into downtown. Beautiful drive! Now the park: it's an off leash dog park. I haven't been to any off leash dog parks in Canada except for Whistler. It's a gorgeous dog beach Baci and I love going for swim. Just take about .6 hours drive. Way too far. So glad to have found this. It's a beautiful, hikable dog beach. Baci had so much fun swimming, he went straight to the deep end while most dogs stay on land. He also had fun stealing sticks :P Trick was getting him to leave. He didn't want to at all. Till next time :)

This park is ok, I bike thru here sometimes. It's mostly for walkers and dog walkers to be honest…read more Not really bike friendly. The paths are narrow and when it gets busy it's not good for biking. I think part of the park is off leash but not exactly sure about that. It is a dog park though. It has a nice view of the Fraser River and has a bit of a beach, but again for playing fetch with your dog and stuff like that, not really for sunbathing or anything. There are also a few piers that are kinda cool. There is a small parking lot and lots of roadside parking. Like I said, it's ok if you wanna come for a walk, walk your dog or even have a picnic. Not sure if I saw any picnic tables but there are benches.

Beautiful park in north eastern Surrey that is very dog friendly (verrry large off leash area),…read moreoutdoor picnic tables, hot coal bin for barbecues, hatchery, several creeks, restrooms and a few parking lots. The paths are almost all flat, easy, wide and well marked. Can be a quite deserted/quiet on weekdays. One thing I don't like about this park is how isolated the main parking lot feels on weekdays. Signs indicate car break-ins are an issue. I don't think I'd feel safe coming alone as a female if it was a weekday or if it wasn't bright. But a very nice and walkable park on bright, sunny days w friends/family.

Even though I have lived in Vancouver all my life, I only recently heard about Byrne Creek Ravine,…read morewhich is located right by Edmonds Station. I can't believe that all this time there was a wonderful walking trail right by the skytrain station! Since I've discovered the trail, I have gone three times, and I intend to go semi-regularly when I want some exercise but don't have the time for a long hike. The trail is a loop and doesn't take long to complete -- no more than an hour (I can complete it in about 45 minutes walking at a fast pace), and it's not particularly challenging. But there are 200 stairs (I counted) you must walk up at the end of the loop (or walk down at the beginning, depending on which direction you go), and the stairs are a great workout. It's perfect if you want a little cardio or want to increase your fitness level. (Last time I went, I walked up and down the stairs three times, for a total of 600 stairs up.) The trail is quite flat, although there are areas with quite a few roots and after about 20 to 30 minutes (depending on how fast you walk), there is a steep, but short, incline and about two dozen stairs to walk down (or up, if coming from the other way), so people with mobility issues may have some trouble. Otherwise it's an easy trail, perfect for someone who is looking for an easy, beginner hike. The trail can also be quite muddy, so I recommend hiking boots instead of running shoes. I'd give the Byrne Creek Ravine trail four stars, but I am removing a star due to the behaviour of asshole entitled dog owners and my experience the last time I went. Dogs are permitted on the trail, but they must be leashed. Of course many dog owners disregard this rule which is a problem when their f*cking dogs can't behave. The last time I was there, after walking up the 200 stairs, I was off to the side of the trail (ie. I was not blocking the way), catching my breath and drinking some water, when a dog, who was off leash, came bounding up the stairs and ran towards me. I firmly yelled "NO" to the dog and tried to take a step back (which was hard, because I was off to the side and if I had stepped too far back I would have fallen several feet into the ravine below, seriously injuring myself). The dog owner came walking up the stairs, and instead of APOLOGIZING to me or telling his dog to stop bothering me, he started yelling at me, for yelling at his dog. When I told him to train his dog, he swore at me and told me to train myself! And then he proceeded to continue yelling and swearing at me as he walked off. He was a tall white man, and I'm a petite Asian woman. I doubt he would have behaved like that had I been a man. Also, I had seen them earlier, walking beside the creek, off the trail, which is not allowed, as it disturbs the plants and fish. And the dog was wet, indicating it had been in the creek, which is absolutely forbidden. All in all the Byrne Creek Ravine loop is a lovely little trail if you're short on time and the stairs are a great workout, but beware of irresponsible dog owners. [Yelp collections: Hiking]

When you first enter the park from the main entrance, there is a decent sized playground and park benches to cool off from the summer heat (very well shaded). Afterwards, you can take a quick hike along the gravel road and depending on the season, you can settle along the river bank and check out the scenery here. The path is stroller friendly though I didn't really see any strollers at the time. There were a lot of large dogs playing fetch in the river that day. Though, our kids had a pretty decent time at the playground and the walk wasn't too grueling for them either.
