Reviews of John Hendry Park (Trout Lake Park) (Park)

Mar Dulay

Beautiful park. Park is free.

Steven Kieboom

We are lucky to have such a great public park (and dog friendly) in the middle of the city!

Cassandra Lavoie

I love riding thru this park rain or shine there is always a tree to hide in ????

Yoram Adler

Love the off leash dog area and the wonderful park with a kids beach area.

Laurel Gullion

Enjoying the Sun and watching the young goslings near the Lake.

Thomas Kayser

Nice park for its urban setting, Trout Lake is quite large and that makes it special. There's a community center, a good playground and some sports fields, even a mini beach, where you could swim...

Andrew Ho

While I was visiting Trout Lake several days ago, the weather was hazing with no sunshine. The Lake was palcid, no one swimming there. It is a public park comprised with a community center and a rink A few people were jogging, strolling and unleashing their dogs in the park. The Lake was placid. It is located in the urban centre without any mountain backdrop, I should say it is a big pond rather than a lake.

Adrian Mandy

The community centre here is great, gym, ice rink, dance and art classes. The park is great for a stroll, it's 1.2 km around the lake. There is a beach on the lake a picnic area and a playground. The off leash area for dogs is great but can get very busy with a lot of dogs that aren't very well controlled by their owners. Also some baseball diamonds and lots of grassy areas for playing catch or frisbee.

Mahshid Ghodusi

It's a fun park for kids with water park looking over the ocean and fun structures for kids to climb on top. It's a good place to picnic with kids too

Linda Nicholson

A nice lake in the city. Has parking and a community center. Farmers market in the summer.

Lisa Hamilton

It's a great park but disappointing that the water is now contaminated and unswimmable ... But it's a great place to gather for a game of vball or bball!

Wei Ye

Just love those geese... And view.

Saei Ranjbar

Great park with a lake in the middle of the city

Kristen Spanza

Farmers market! Tree colour! Lake!

Richard Campbell

Used to live a block away. Just dropped by to eat my lunch and read a couple of chapters from a book. It was as I always remembered, peaceful and healing.

Nav Thandi

Nice little spot to just walk or have a lunch with a lake

E ApRhys

Awesome park deep into Vancouver. Lots of community events happening here. It makes Vancouver feel not so heartless.

Sam Lim

John Hendry Park is a great park to go for a walk, have a picnic, there's even a small lake nearby. Lots of green space to accommodate many groups and peoples. Parking is difficult to find around the area, mostly because there are parking restrictions, and residence. Large groups can be here, but if groups are over 100 people, you need a permit to reserve a space at the park, or you risk losing your space if someone else has reserved the same area that you have. Just a heads up! Go to the Park Board to reserve your space if you have large gatherings for picnics, etc.

N H

Large off leash grass and beach area for dogs. Cute little lake to walk around.

Kevin Kakakaway

Grew up in the area playing little league baseball here n just hanging out as a child

Frida

This is a perfect park for running, though during rains you could be full of slime. The landscape from the mountains are really awesome and you can enjoy peaceful moments here.

Luigi Costantini

Good little park for the kids and the kids love it. Just that it dose get busy there so have lots of patience ????

Amanda Duncan

Always love this place fun for kids beautiful scenery especially in the fall the foliage is absolutely stunning. Summer has ample amounts of shade! It's just a really great place lots of space so you can socially distance properly.

Graham Douglas

This park has a great community center and neighbourhood. Its a great place to go for a walk or a picnic. It gets real busy though.

Vivian

Great park for everything. Community centre ice rink preschool cafe. Kids love the playground here. Lake freezes over most winters for the city to turn it into an outdoor rink. Highlight of the winter activities. Dog park area is great

Sarah B

Beautiful lake nice off leash area for dogs

Adil OKUMUŞ

I highly recommend that people to visit this park especially on fall season for the view.

Xavier Law

Good for a walk

PlantBase Food

It's a nice park and it hosts a lovely farmer's market on Saturdays.

Peter Vickers

Nice walk. Evenings are busy too. Fire spinners at night ????

Richard Griffiths

One of my favorite places in the whole city. Food, drink and bathroom facilities at the south east side of the lake by the beach.

Akash P

This an absolute gem in East Van. Great for picnics and evening walks, dog walks, jogging, playground for kids, small beach area, parking and a public washroom.

Anca McHollister

Great place for a picnic!! Lots of space to practice distancing. Just don't swim in the water since it's usually full of goose poop.

Prathamesh Vaidya

Great place for a run! The loop has a good surface and it's about 1.25 kms long.

Dan S

Very artistic community, lots of fun activities going around this lake!

Karim Haddad

Washrooms are very outdated. Old fashioned urinals that waste plenty of water.

Bradley Gagne

Multiple schools doing cross country. Been there before. Nice size, and great for the family. Especially during spring and summer.

Sjors

The Canadian version of an oasis. Sprawling lawns and sports fields are interspersed by lush trees with many a picnic blanket spread underneath, while weeping willows hanging over the lakeside path all around add a touch of fairy dust. The lake itself has a small beach/swimming area with platform and lifeguard station which has a stunning view of the mountains, as well as several little inlet paths through the reeds and brush surrounding it leading to vantage points and picturesque benches. Highly recommend visiting this green gem if you're in the area.

Ron Hatch

Beautiful big urban park. Lots of walking and running trails. Dog areas. Nice lake. Lake water is a bit sketchy - I wouldn't vouch for it for swimming.

Jonathan Chin

Overall nice park. Often crowded but it's a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Lots of parking nearby.

Robert Sutherland

Great park to hang out in. Dog off leash area as well

Jade Bone

It's trout lake! Bike around, bring your dog, or set up some tunes. Always a good time.

Junseok Song

Nice place to take a walk.

Jacquie Harkema

Beautiful park. Lake swimming. Large off-leash dog area with water access. Beautiful new community centre with ice rink. Fabulous preschool. Pottery and art rooms. Community concerts. Many fields. Two children's play grounds. Bbq area. Cafe in community centre and snack shack by the beach. This is an awesome park!

Jennifer Thompson

Tranquil. A great place for a picnic and walk.

Sabrina Fernandes

Trout Lake is a very re-energizing park to walk or run or cycle through, with the considerably large area it covers even though many visit here it isn't overly crowded most of the times which is nice. With it's community center as well and playground amenities, it is always bustling with events which can be quite enjoyable to watch.

Jie Zhang

Nice autumn view.

Chris Takala

Great park. I live two blocks away and I always come here to run, bike or lay on the beach.

Kiran Shoker

Cute! Such a nice community park. Love running there

Tony Smerychynski

Man made swimming lake, rec centre with an ice rink, and decent sized playground. Real slice of East Van.

Robert Piddocke

Great urban park. Unfortunately, Its infrastructure is badly dilapidated and the city is an ineffectual money pit.

Jessica Cochran

Beautiful park that has great running or biking trails, playgrounds, and a seasonal summer farmers market.

Malcolm Walker

Grew up here - trained for soccer, have skated in the winter and visited the farmers market!

Magdi

Nice place for relaxing

Ace

Nice place for a nice walk, dog friendly if you got friends who are doggs.

Atronoush Bashang

Dog friendly park but nothing extraordinary. Maybe it's a bit more beautiful in the Fall season!?

Rita Whaley

Very pretty, though I don't like how many dogs are down on the beach area.

Jason S

It's super nice but kind of had a smell when I left the water. Lots of seaweed too.

Azadeh Adibi

Nice park for a picnic or taking your dog for swimming in the water. There is a dog beach. Not big enough for jogging, you can go around several times.

Vancouverite111

A nice park in the heat of the city, it always have some surprises like festivals or shows

Bill Crowder

Nice walk around a lake. Lots of geese. Lots of people. An oasis in the city

Donald Chau

Great trail to jog around the park. Playground for the kids, and a dog park for the pet in the family. I come here in the autumn to see the maple trees change colours

Irīna Šadrina

Perfect park for a family BBQ or just evening walk! Pets friendly park.

Fiorella Calderoni

Always a great time at the off leash area, beautiful scenery and lots of dogs

Seamus Mac

DO NOT GO SWIMMING. Dogs are permitted with off leash areas. Facilities are quite typical for a public park, ie. Do not plan to spend a long time in the washroom.

Anson Li

A circular track. You can swim here in the summer. Community center nearby. BBQ possible. Baseball. Great place.

Roderick DM Briones

Great place for a walk and picnic. Lots of shaded area

Stefano Cataldi

Nice park. It's massive. I like that there is a lake just in the middle of it

Agnes de Balasi

AWESOME....sun ????shade???? rolling fields &trees trails sunkissed lake....just peaceful & beautiful ????❣

Marty Ole'

I learned how to swim at Trout Lake. Have played ice hockey there as well when the ice was thick enough. It's still a great neighborhood picnic destination for many.

ed lanktree

Great farmers market

Will be back soon marget <3

Ankit Gupta

Nice and quiet park with lots of shade. There are also two play areas with swings and slides. One of them also has a little food shop near them

James Allen

Great for off leash dog park! Summer has lake swimming and a concession stand.

Eng CF

It is a very nice park to relax and enjoy the view of the lake and the mountains.

Gregory West

Great park. Although it's a bit muddy for a good part of the year. Off leash dog park is great. However wouldn't recommend letting your dog go on the lake in the second half of summer, the water gets pretty nasty. My dog has gotten sick multiple times from it.

Emmanuel Rodríguez

Small but a beautiful Place to do sports and chill.

Wren Handman

Beautiful park with lots of different areas. Dogs and offleaah areas. Not a swimming lake but beautiful nonetheless, and has public bathrooms.

Honesty Rules

Its a very good park with lake . Community center is very nice . Doesn't have swimming pool .

Denis Seguin

One of my fav inner city parks... small lake, off leash area for doggies. Nice walking and cycling paths... great for family activities

Jim Chow

NICE PARK WITH A BEAUTIFUL TINY LAKE

Iskra Zamalloa

Love this park. Plenty of space for everyone even when the lake was so covered of ice.

Angie Chappus

Love this park! There’s a nice little lake to relax by on one side, the other has a clean dog park.

Godwin C

Trout lake looks nice but it is probably not the best place (bacterial wise) to go for a swim!

Elsy Chow

Great park on the east side. Wonderful off leash area for dogs. Great place to walk or jog. Good places for families, singles and couples. Lots of fields for baseball and softball. Close to Trout Lake Community center.

James Traynor

Nice place to relax, take a walk, or have a picnic. Baseball field, washrooms.lake, and dog friendly...

Michela Misano

Very nice little park!

Justin

I enjoyed coming to this park. Walked from 29th Ave Station. Nanaimo is much closer, but we wanted to get in a good walk. Great looking neighbourhood around the park. Can't really comment on parking because we walked. Nice little playground and Sandy Beach, with washrooms near. Looks like a seasonal concession stand is in the same structure as the washrooms. Also looks like during the summer there's a lifeguard. There's a little dock in the water. Never actually went much further than this south side of the park. We plan on exploring more next time we go.

Jennefer Boudreau

Decent park with running trails! There is a lake that could be enjoyed for swimming, and an area designated for dogs!

Jose P

Nice place lots of dog walkers lol

Mitch Wilmot

Peaceful and serene. A clean and picturesque location for a walk. A nice morning with my daughter.

Nadine Watkins Luminatrix

Great park for everyone especially flow artists!! Food, washrooms and even an undercover area!

Vicki Scully

The best park in e van...2 playgrounds, a beach and huge dog beach.

Slide Scroll

Basketball court was great. Free community private showers open from 9am. Gym showers with a pass open at 6am. Parking stalls are very small to park an RV or decent sized truck without obstructing people next to you; however there's lane parking on the side and it's shaded under the trees there also. No overnight parking.

Akshatha Sriram

Huge park surround the Trout Lake. Dog friendly park with running, cycling and walking paths along the perimeter of the lake. This place also hosts amazing farmers market in some seasons.

Sean L.

Park can be very hard to find parking at if the centre parking lot is full. Limited picnic table seating space.

Arcane Malala

Perfect place to bring your family and have a picnic. I love seeing the dogs playing by the lake. The playground has a great structure, the kids love playing there, and there is also a public washroom nearby the mini beach.

Angela Kim

Lovely sanctuary for residents in East Vancouver. Beautiful trees, background mountain view, amateur musicians get together for their rehearsal...there was a baby shower and a birthday party. True sense of community there..

Tyso

This is one of my favorite Lake parks in all of Greater Van. Very serene and open. Even when there’s quite a few people, it’s always felt roomy. Lots of dogs off leash, which I personally love.

Cyrus Greenall

One of the most beautiful parks in Vancouver. Great to run through, walk through or have a picnic.

Emily Eltherington

Nice spot for a picnic, not too busy and nice area to walk around

Melody Tran

A small park with lots of dogs and also you see events or marketplaces starts to open during summer. This place brings the community together

Mr Escapades

Surpringly there are many little wild life areas in the park.. But you got to look closely..

Andrew Kim

Nice park. Easy access

Shekinah J

The park is quite huge and very beautiful. One can spend hours just sitting infront of Lake Trout. It's scenic, it's serene, it's the best place to clear one's thoughts. One can find people jogging, fishing, dog walking, having a picnic or just relaxing. It's a nice park overall.

Robin Massey

Can't help myself, I love Trout Lake. Wd be great if the partiers' side cd be separate from the quiet nature lovers' side but that might prove too divisive...

Mani Rezaei

I am so thankful for having discovered a new gym nearby my residence. I will focus paying visit regularly there, so I can exercise and meet new ladies☺

Jonathan Waldie

Great park to go for a walk around the lake. Always lots of doggos to watch play!

Progressive Canadian

Lots of benches to sit on. Open space with a view of the lake. Public washrooms.

Tyler Wilson

nice place to walk the dog, there is no fenced off area though.

Bonnie Wong

Not a bad park. But it seems like there are many people who like to live in their cars in thr parking lot and smoke pot here . The washrooms are also quite dirty.

Danny Ferreira

A beautiful Park with a Lake and a great new Rec Centre, little league baseball diamond shack sells great BBQ'd burgers. and one of the best Farmers Markets on Saturdays. The north side of the park is one of Vancouver's most popular Dog Parks.

Barney Andersen

Peaceful park. A good place for a quiet walk in the morning. Bring your dog. I think it is a dog friendly park, but may want to check in advance.

Yuki T

Go for exercise sometimes. Nice walk/jog/bicycle place. Bike/walk trail. Some muddy spots during winter rain.

clayton arthurs

Best park. Love the guy who sings live music at the dock.

Kelsey N

Like many spots, it has its pros and cons. Trout Lake is certainly not a swimming spot, the beach and lake water can get pretty gross, especially towards the end of the season. During the summer months and certain days of the week the park can get busy and loud. In terms of positive features, the park is expansive and many gather here for small self contained social events (barbeques, engagement parties etc.) The Farmers market here is fabulous, and many nights of the week feature live music events. It's a lovely place for a walk, the dog park is usually full of happy dogs romping around. It is also a lovely spot for birding, with plenty of waterfowl and songbird species represented here.

Lindsey McEwan

A perfect place for almost anything. From jogging to picnics. I love East Van and I love this park. I travel from the west side to visit it and see friends at safe distances.

Andy

Always here nowadays at Trout Lake with the pups at the off-leash area. Crowd is nice, but you do get the awkward person who doesn't realize it's an off-leash area and they decide to lay down on a towel, and the dogs come-a-running. So i would advise to double check which section you're at. As for the attendees... i would advise to keep an eye on your doggos as some owners literally just let them roam free with no oversight... i get it... they're dogs and dog will be dogs but some of these dogs don't have the most attentive owners and does result in nasty unnecessary brawls... not necessarily bad owners... but just.. keep an eye out.

Ian Simmons

Great park excellent community center right next to trout lake there is a ball park it a dog friendly park overall an excellent community park for get togethers and events

Marcos

Nice and beautiful place. For families with children and dogs is perfect.

Keshavi Sharma

The park is beautiful but couldn't see the actual fall colors. Also its more like a dog park with everyone going in with their dogs only. The ducks are a real attraction though. One time visit for sure.

Alissa MacMullin

Beauty day for a hangout! The dog park side of the beach is my favourite. Good shaded areas to sit and enjoy the sun all hours of the day. The park regulars are friendly, their pups too ????

Kwanlitzia

A very nice place to enjoy the view of a lake and there's also a community center

William Ma

Lake water not so clean, require to install filtration system. Needs more wildlife in the park, like squirrels, ducks, fishes, etc.

Gayan Pathirana

Great park. Nice body of water. Not safe for swimming. Nice community center. Not in the best neighborhood but the park is safe.

Rory Barr

Prepare to be stopped by plenty of passers-by if you bring your cute dog here! The off-leash area is loads of fun for the socially brave pooches, but there are plenty of other quiet places for those who can get overstimulated. A great mix of spaces, functions, and energies here. Super family friendly and lush. Easy to appreciate!

A Z

A must visit location its scenic location location and the lake makes an excellent spot to hang out with the family and friends

Malcolm Lee

First time going there, nice community. Farmers market nearby, good autumn scenery

Kevin So

Greg Motha

On a beautiful fall sunny day.

Tasha Belliveau

This parks a jewel, in the middle of an urban city, with a lake, great for swimming in the summer and skating in the winter, it's got two playgrounds, two beaches,one for people the other for dogs, walking paths, and a community centre.

Great little park complete with small lake with access for people on south side where there's a concession stand & public washrooms, dog beach on north side, lots of areas for picnics, games, a soft pitch diamond on east side & a beautiful recreation center on the sw side of the lake.

One of my fav parks in the city. The dog area is well loved by my pooch.

Arthur Irvine

Excellent park, easily accessible, pet friendly with a concession stand and community center. Great place for seasonal events. Good for bird watchers as well.

CheshireCat 420

Perfect place to hang out. You can meet folks in the dog off leash area, have a run around the lake or just chill on the grass. Parking is free at the Community Centre.

Wei x

Beautiful fall colors

Jakub Šatka

Great park for kids. Has lake, sand beach, two playgrounds and nice around the park trail. Ideal for stroller rides.

Ben “BB” Houta

Nice big park!

Frances Roche

Really cool vibe. Always fun people hanging there. Great on a sunny day. Do not swim in the lake though!! Great dog park.

Jeremy

Other than some homless people sleeping on the side of a ball park diamond and garbage cans overflowing with Dog waste bags it was ok.

Alison Desrochers

It is always a delight while there the dogs their humans ❤ sunshine water trees playful children yoga in the park and joggers getting their run in It feels great

Danaca Lapp

Should be called TroutLESS lake cuz I really doubt there are any trout there. Wouldn't swim in that water either but love walking around it with the dog. Good park.

Wilson Wong

Good bike and walking trails at the local lake.

Amit Syal

Been to this place for the first time last week for a family day out. For a place that is very run down and not so clean, this place was extremely crowded with people. There are plans to renovate this place in the future.

Mariana Cedillo

Very nice park and little lake very close to nanaimo station

Melissa Ayling

Lovely walk, one way trail is greatly appreciated to keep everyone safe and still enjoy nature!

Michael Chu

Excellent food and clean environment for meal !

Jaime “justjaime” Lam

Lovely lake. Bike and walking trails. 2 kids playgrounds. Undercover picnic area

Jaydee

Wow! We were stunned with this park. It has everything you could want and more. We stumbled upon the farmers market and fell in love! What a fantastic public space.

Michael Henderson

Gone there for many years. It was always fun to visit as a kid and is still an enjoyable walk around the lake.

Natalie LePage

Fun place to take your furry friend for a walk. Washrooms are clean and well maintained (thank you for keeping them open). Just a wonderful and safe place for a leisure walk or run.

Miss Claudette L Abraham

Great for kid's.

Selena L

I didn't feel like it was a super well-kept park, However there are lots to do here. The park is really big. There's a playground for the kids, public washrooms, pathways and trails, there's big areas for picnics, there's a lake, and an off leash dog area.

Andréanne Guindon

The park is very beautiful and peaceful. I think the kids playground needs a little bit of love, but we had a great time nonetheless.

HJ

great fishing for the angler in your family world class beach with swimming at the south end, abundant aquatic life and waterfoul, fine dining at the south end serves classic dishes like American style bratwurst, fine chopped steak on brioche, and sauteed Julien potatoe, attentive staff gathers your empty bottles asking no tips... a great family outing!!!

Martin Vondruska

Was there when all the snow and ice was about so was hard to walk around. Nice area for dogs to play.

squishelle

A wonderful nature oasis in the middle of East Van. Great place to meet up with friends outdoors.

B. Shearer

One of the best parks in the city. Colourful people and events.

IBRAHIM TUGCU

Lake is good but I couldn't see any public washroom

paula bracey

This is a dog friendly place filled with life of all ages. Love this park all year round.

Jerome Tovillo

It's a nice park but there are better ones

Alistair Irving (Laing)

Actually a fairly small park around Trout Lake. There are play areas and Baseball areas on the perimeter, and an Ice rink and community center on the west side.

Samson Gao

This park is good for Pokémon Go because it has 3, Triple lure spawns. It has a community gym, where you can work or you can run around the park/lake to get your daily exercise!

Missy Bauman

Went for a walk and followed an ethereal collective of musicians into Trout Lake park. In a dreamlike state, they collected passerbys to follow them to a small covering under the trees to play us exactly one song. A beautiful introduction to fall, surrounded by beauty and music and nature.

Mona Albano

Well-used park with two playgrounds, a dog beach, and a pond.

Ash

Couldn’t be a better dog park. Love this place for family get togethers and bbqs, too. Lots of picnic tables or grassy spots to spread a blanket in the shade. Two big playgrounds plus a small sandy beach for kids to play on. Concession has some great ice cream selections.

Vidhya S

Enjoy an amazing walk with your furry friend in this pet friendly park where you can leave your pawsome friend unleashed. This place have the perfect view of mountains tress and lake!

jason king

Nice park to bring your dog during the daytime, I hear it gets a bit sketchy after dark...

Michelle Paul

It's seems to be a great place for families with dogs. The concession stand (although a little expensive) is well stocked with a variety of treats perfect a picnic at the beach or in any of the magnificent grassy clearings around the lake. The main pathway around the lake is accessible for wheelchairs but be careful as there are little metal sticks all around the beach areas that can puncture your tires. The off leash area is kept clean and everyone seems to help keep it that way. All in all a great way to spend a day with the family.

Melody Malakooti

Coming from Oakland this place is like a shrunk down Lake Merritt. Bustling with people making use of all it has to offer. You can often find people picnicking, gathering, playing music, playing sports. During covet people have been doing …

Vinay Dev

Dog park.. perfect for dog lovers.

S Auyoung

Great to visit especially on a sunny farm market day. Lots of events also in nearby community centre.

Shohan Sarkar

Not much to say but it is a good place around downtown area to walk or just seat down for a hour or so

Nihit Malhotra

It was a nice experience to explore this park. Its around a lake and can be walked in a full circle around it. It has sandy banks that give a beach like feeling. People are around here in groups with tents, tables and food. Nice place for family and friends to picnic. It has good playground for children to have fun. Dedicated cycle track. Large parking spots. It also has a community center besides it with ice skating.

kim moody

Easy access. Easy walk around the lake. Needs an upgrade (possibly boardwalk) to save the environmental damage along the shore

angel villalta

Amazing park with facilities that were used for the 2010 winter Olympics

Wilfred Tang

Good community with good tennis, basketball courts amongst other activities

Linh H Le

Good, fresh. Jogging around enough for the days ahead

Jeremy Kirouac

Fantastic little park. Great for dogs, walking, and jogging. Kid friendly park too.

Gwen Irene Merchant

My friend and I used to go to a large flea market close to this park and always grabbed a snack to eat there on the way home. While it does have a few unsavory people there, they have never bothered us. The park itself is lovely.

TheFantouch

Love to run here in the winter time

Bran-tastic

Big beautiful park with walking path, separate bike path in some areas, public swimming area with a sandy beach, dog beach area, community centre, two food stands (seasonal), tennis courts open to the public and more. Also has a covered gazebo area with picnic tables but is often in high demand in peak seasons. This park is great for a relaxing chill sesh, a workout, play session with your dog or an outing with friends or family.

Ahmed Abdelgawad

Nice park. lots of trees, shaded and open spaces and the main attraction is the lake in the middle of the park. Off leash park, dogs splash around in the lake :D

Bex Arnold

Captain Max ♾???? Be Mindful & Sanitize Hands & Have Fun. Beautiful WillowTress too!! Lots of space and lovely energy ????????????????

Sara Kjeldsen

It's a beautiful and relaxing place to walk and unwind. I've watched the sunset here a few times and it's quite magical. Lots of willow trees here which I love.

T W

Great park for dogs...

Anil Anchan

Lots of place to play for children, dogs. Park with lake and benches and picnic tables. Also lots of parking space available near the park.

Toby Jesso

The farmer's market delivered exactly what we were looking for-potted plants and herbs for the home and garden. Cold brew coffee kept me going all day and all night long.

Zii Cka

One of my favorite parks in the city but the water is so gross we often avoid it. The "lake" really irritates skin and gives lots of people and dogs a rash. It would be great if the city worked out a filtration system. The swimming area is often closed due to unsafe conditions.

Tara Chic

Great for families. Although no one was social distancing in large family groups and of all the 200+ people I only saw 2 people wearing masks. A concession stand that has icecream. Our dog liked the water because it was warm. Great place to socialize dogs off leash.

Becky Torres

It's a perfect place for a picnic

Nigel Kellett

Quite busy. Big park for walking around. Pond is full of ducks and geese (the odd heron)

Andreas Lerch

Love walking an running here! Also lots of grass and a field great for yoga!

Andrea Beça

Absolutely lovely spot. Playgrounds, baseball diamonds, a Rec centre, an off-leasb dog area, and more! The only thing I wish was that folks would respect the areas where dogs need to be on leash!

Greg Domville

Very nice park. BIG and vast. Parking is not great at all!

Selina

One of the most popular locations to swim. finding parking here is the worst. if you wanna swim here you have to go first thing in the morning so you can get a parking spot.

Fuzzy Nemo

Nice place to bike and watch dogs run around at the dog park. On Saturdays is a little bit crowded with the farmer's market.

Kitty Charlie

I love this park beautiful place I've been going since I was very little do not recommend swimming though

Debbie Preuss

Beautiful picturesque lake, easy walking, gorgeous fall colors and lots of birds

Corey Reynolds

Something to do for everyone. Even it's just sitting by the lake watching the people and wildlife. Lots of grass and enough trees for some shade on a warm sunny day, where you'll find people spread about on their blankets, soaking up the rays. I like it better than Stanley Park.

Dr. Mackenzie Liska

Nice park, dirty 'lake'. There's a path that takes you all the way around the park. There's a restaurant - can't comment on it. There is also a great farmer's market every Saturday from May to October. There is a large community center there, but I haven't used it. Plenty of lawn area to sit, but there's also benches and a playground. There is also a small amount of parking. There are swimming areas for people and dogs, but to be honest I wouldn't recommend swimming there. I've only taken my dogs to swim there, but I will not again as one developed an ear infection that took multiple veterinarian visits and medications to end. The next time I visited there were signs posted at both beaches saying the water did not meet standards for swimming. These signs remained up for weeks, then I just stopped visiting. If you do wish to take yourself or your dog swimming, I would advise you to check out the bacteria levels online first. The dog off-leash area has plenty of area away from the dog beach, but it is not segregated in any way from the rest of the park or the road. Be safe! Also, there are no dog poo bags provided, but there are dog poo waste bins.

Justis Tylor

Great family park and dog walking spot. The North half is a dog off - leash area. There is a swimming beach at the South end and a dog beach at the North end.

Mary Deighan

Awesome park! Dog friendly at the south end and a farmers market on Saturdays.

Mateus Possatti

This is an amazing place for simply sit and think, but also to go out with the family, bring pets, run and do outside activities in general. in addition, the park is well maintained and clean, I recommend it to everyone.

Kevin Glenn

Great place to for a walk, a run, or to walk your dog. Off leash dog park at North end of lake. Nice walking trails, clean, safe place to go.

Paco Sanchiz

It's a nice little area in the city where you can enjoy some peace and quiet and have a nice walk....or sit.....totally up to you....lol anyways if your ever in the area pop on by and enjoy the view.....cheere

George King

I loved this park when I was younger. Now, it's so crowded, you can't find a 'private' spot to enjoy peace.

Vancouver SEO

So Gorgeous Park. Gorgeous view in the fall when the leaves turn different colors So colorful! A very nice panoramic view, There are some nice maple trees.

Osmond Ng

Spacious park with a beautiful lake.

farzod darzi

Beautiful park with trout Lake right in the center. Perfect for walking your dog or a jog.

Liftcaptoloadd

My favourite off leash area for dogs! My guy loved it there, and there are always a few dogs there to run around with. Also, the docks are a great spot to kick back with a couple friends on a sunny afternoon.

Ben Klein

Strangely the lake can actually be waded in. During special events people actually swim in it :-). There is a small playground for kids. This is a terrific park for a picnic or event day. During summer TFC Volleyball sets up R4 tournaments here. Close by there is a Trout Lake farmers market during summer.

[IDC]Christine Binder

What's not to love when you are outside in a park walking around a lake with many dogs happily playing?

Rachel Windsor

My family really enjoys a nice stroll here around the lake on a mid-October day! Gorgeous view in the fall (when the leaves turn different colors)! So colorful! A very nice panoramic view! There are some nice maple trees!!! My mom picked up some beautiful maple leaves from the ground! There is also a nice playground next to Trout Lake Beach. My baby enjoyed playing there!

Linh Tran

Such a beautiful place to watch fall color.

Mo Cons

A groovy park to take a stroll, has wildlife, sometimes coyotes too! Right in the heart of Commercial drive area. Often host farmers' markets here, and festivities. Very family oriented too.

Sheinoor Hargrove

Love going every Saturday morning to buy fresh salads and mushrooms. A walk along the lake is a bonus!

Gurpal Dhoot

Well rounded little park, lake, lots of grassy area and a cool walking and biking trail that goes around the lake as well! If you feel you want a little break from this city, this is a nice calm space for that. Swimming in the lake isn’t recommended, its not one of those lakes!

Nadia

Good place to go on a nice weather. There are many trees and good view

W

Rustic setting for a picnic, especially by the lake, which is framed by the north shore mountains.

Reena B

Awesome place to take your kids, there's always other children playing here and kids play well with each other. It's all in one - children's playground, which is the biggest I've seen! sand area, a water stream, lots of trees (I've always seen children climbing a particular one) , and the lake, which has ducks and birds. Plenty of car parking, and lot of open space to run around. It can get pretty crowded in warm weather.

Walter Ockley

Swim in the lake at urban fresh water beach let your dog run free, on Saturday best farmers market in all the land .

Peter CHEN

Amazing park in the city with a scenery of four different seasons around the lake for you to take the photos. Personally love the season of autumn.

will foley

Beautiful park. Trout lake market is also a great local place to get veggies plants honey and from time to time beer.

RodrigoBastias - com

Beautiful park and great location. I highly recommend this place for a quick visit with your friends and family members

Graham Regan

Lots of space for social distance! Great way to get away from the bustle of living downtown without having to go too far.

Gary Glans

Great dog area for off leash fun with a beach.

Inhyouk Jung

This park is large enough for students of Vancouver Elementary School to run cross country together. The parking lot doesn't seem to be wide.

Adnan Akkılıç

Bring your camping chair, drink, and book...

David Black

I have not used this park a lot as I usually go the other way from where I live. I rated 4 stars because, in Summer, the beach is often closed because of pollution. The Trout Lake Community Centre (5 stars) s a well established centre and has extensive programs for all ages

Jessica Wilson

This park is great. Love the off leash dog area and the poi displays by the lake in the summer.

Eric Vanderwey

Trout lake has a great dog park, small little beach and community centre with tennis, baseball, basketball, etc.

marco afonso

Great place to walk your dog! Picnic friendly with gazebos, etc. Farmers markets in the summer! Skating in the winter if the lake freezes over!

Ajit Maski

Beautiful lake with a surrounding walk. Limited parking.

Arien Crossby

Is a park. Lots of space, community centre, good paths for running.

Delphine Callamand

I love this place, nature in town with beautiful mountain in background. Where everyone can play, small, big and dogs !

Lei pochao

Lovely area for outdoor covid friendly gathering. Wish there are more washroom facilities in the proximity

Toby MisConception

I love this park but the poor lake is quite polluted and the ducks are starving. It would be nice to have something done about this.

Love My Kids. (Lily's LilyPad)

Always a place to sit and relax. Great kids park fenced in .

Jeff Lin

Beautiful autumn in trout lake park.

eunsuk Park

Friendly park for everyone. Especially dogs likes this area.

Garth Jackson

Parks Board needs to maintain restrooms regularly.

Shane Defehr

A beautiful park with a a lake in the center. There's a trail that circles the lake surrounded by grass fields.at one end of the lake, there is a community center with public washrooms/showers. A small beach and playground, and a picnic/barbecue area. At the other end, there is a lighted wooded area, next to some wooden bleachers overlooking the lake. This side has an off leash area for dogs. It's a great place to go alone or in groups. You can play sports, go for a run, lay in the sun, walk your dog, or sit in the shade admiring the serenity of the lake.

lili P

It 's spring time and you should visit this beautiful park .There are all sorts of activities . The driveway was alittle bit muddy and you should have good shoes .

Renée Frenette

What a beautiful park! I can't believe I've never been here in my 6 years in Vancouver. Gorgeous trees, little lake, and mountain view. Perfect for walking, running, kids and dogs. Also a farmer's market (long lines during Covid- ho early)

Jon Ben

One of the larger and more frequented parks in the city. A staple of East Van living. There's an off-leash doggo park for those with doggos to let loose or those without doggos to go and enjoy their vibrant attitude towards life. :) Great for running as well, and loads of space for picnics or general summer lounging in grassy parks. The adjacent community centre has loads of amenities. There are a few sports fields here as well as a small beach on trout lake which sometimes doesn't have dangerous levels of E-coli. ????

Kate King

Trout lake is such a sweet little park in the city. If you come early there is always a ton of parking. Lovely to walk around and take photos at. Public washrooms are available in the community center as well as by the beach. Pre covid there were some fun farmers market events too! Highly recommended hitting up seasons bakery nearby and enjoying it in this park.

Travis “Lit review” Power!

Ever since the small child I've been going here for skating and and Good Times held by all the great Community holders that respect everyone all the time here it's one of the best community centres in the neighbourhood out of all the neighborhoods and I'm not trying to be biased but I am East van and if you are too then I recommend bringing your kids here and showing them the beginning of a good long and plentiful relationship with their community we all stick together and we're all going to make it that's why you should always go to Trout Lake Community Center

Aditi Shetty

Dogs are allowed here and you almost always see them playing in the water. A big enough park for a good, long walk

H H

New nice. Renovated for Olympics. Great kids playground with new stuff and sand pit with water source. Better if had a pool

Bill Millier

Dog beach one end of lake, people Beach other end of lake, community center, children's play ground, picnic shelter, little league baseball and soccer fields

Sanket Vatsa

A lot happens in this lake park. Its a huge park with loads of ppl coming for camping, hang out and sports like baseball etc.

Maria Granger

Oh wow..... this place has such potent energy. For real I love being there. From the Lights festival, to wishing I could swim in the water, and volunteering for ecological restoration with Metro Parks... it's all good at Trout Lake. Check out this cool old piece of car I dug up while removing invasive Himalayan Blackberry root bulbs!

Lacey Smith

Great place to hang out, play outdoor games. Always lots of space. Bathrooms are usually pretty clean.

Sue

Super friendly dog park and picnic areas.

Ian Chan

Great local park, with a nice walking loop path, bike path, and multiple areas for different sports to be played. Trout Lake Community Centre is right there and on summer weekends, the Farmer’s Market is a must

Tee Haynes

Frozen lake = dreamy

Donna Dobo

A much enjoyed urban park. It's huge, and there's a lake in the middle. dog friendly play areas. Always lots of folks picnicing and playing.

Fiona McInnes

Great spot, l attend Tai Chi there. Can't wait to come after restrictions are easied.

Gurchain Khaira

Beautiful place to walk around the lake. Take my Jack Russell Terrier for a walk. Gr8 to have our Grand sons Birthday party in the park.

Iris Afonso

Awesome park. My dog and I both enjoy coming to this park because there is plenty of open green space to run and play. During the summer time there is a farmers market. There is an off-leash area for dogs to run around freely but we also enjoy the many different paths and meeting other friendly dogs and their humans. There are also washrooms and water fountains for convenience.

Oscar Aguilar

Beautiful and quite park where you can here the the water waves.

Ali

Very beautiful park in the heart of Vancouver. It has a nice lake with a mini beach where you can relax and get sun tan. In the south east side of the park on the grass you'll see many music groups playing. If you like music you can sit there and enjoy a free concert. Take a blanket with you to avoid sitting on goose dung that are all over the grass in summer lol

Sneaky Pete

Nice park

Karin Hatch

A decent and well attended community city park. So many dogs, and people enjoying it. I was there to test out some camera equipment and had a great time.

Lisa Tam

Also known as Trout Lake. This park has everything. There's always lots of parking and enough space for everyone to enjoy a day at the park.

TinyRose 143

My childhood park/lake always nice ????

PSbros. PSbros

It's a good place to go and have a nice picnic by the water or go for a run, just dont go in the water

Gwen

Great Park to take the kids and the dog for an afternoon walk, or picnic.

Alex West

Beautiful park. Currently there's a small infestation of people buried in smart phones hunting Pokémon, but don't let that discourage you.

Barbara Rahal

What a beautiful park, I love it in all type of seasons. They have also a side for dogs to be free of leash... Beautiful all year round!

Cinaa M Hoorang

Amazing Park. My perfect weekend is going for a walk with my friends in this park. I don't think there's anything better.

Randall “Ranbo” Alexander

Relaxing and romantic. Lots of great trees, nice grass to lay on, beautiful Lake, and the sunset is incredible from here.

Rod Templeton

Beautiful place to go. Very peaceful.

Holly (100.Day.Journey)

Nice park, I wish the off leash area felt more secure though. I worry about my dog running out or jumping the short "fences" a really nice area to walk around though.

Rendell Roberts

Nice walk around the lake. Dog off leash at north end of the lake. I lived here long ago,my how it has grown.

Kisu Li

Nice place for walks. Appropriate for all ages groups

Rubayed Nehal

If you want to enjoy the autumn this park is must. I loved it.

Julien-Pier Belanger

It's a great little park full of life and dogs. The water smells kinda weird by moment

M Khan

The patrons do not care for the dogs leash laws. They let them run around all over without leash even in the areas where leash is required. Also where dogs are prohibited like on the beach people do not observe the rules.

Adi Kabazo

A true gem in the city. Fun to walk around the lake, picnic and visit the Farmer's market in the summer.

Raven Light

Great place for family or social bubble picnics. Or just a walk around the lake.

Latifah Brett

Good time walking with our daughter.

Daniel Singh

Fresh snow, everything so clean ????

Mehdi Haloui

This Park has a Spirit! You will feel relaxed near the water :)

Mars King

Really dirty but a cool place to hang out. there is a lot of garbage everywhere, and the lake is disgusting, but it's good for picnics!

Truc Duong

Grew up in this neighborhood. The park is nice, can get a little crowded in summer but very nice with plenty of secret walks and trails. Dont go in the water. This place has been a cesspool of coliform bacteria since the early 2000s (I rmb seeing fish dead and floating in the lake since 2003). NICE PARK THO

Roland Haynes

Friendly atmosphere in the neighborhood and awesome fall colors.

Chris Wright

really a charming gem among the bustle of Vancouver, very popular though!

Todd Wright

Lovely quiet spot in the middle of the city

Lan Ngô

It in good place for walking

Natalie Soulfull

Nice local park. Great local amenities and farmer's market. Equipment is a little dated.

Eben Alton

Nice place to take the dog for a run and swim. It gets really muddy when it's wet so be prepared to get dirty. Also be a smart dog owner and control your dog when out of the off leash area. Don't let it run around and chase wildlife and people.

Kenyatta Sterling

It's a place where you can relax and enjoy the scenery of the mountain and city all at the same time.

Poly Tanner

A great oasis in the middle of East Van. Lots going on with a great dog off leash area, farmers market in the summer and the Trout Lake Community Center.

Xanthea Vandelay

Favourite place to take the dog in Vancouver. Beautiful lake, excellent farmers market

Megan Penno

Pretty cool park but there is bird poo everywhere!! Not sure if there is anything that can be done about it but means it's near impossible to walk around bare foot. The area undercover with the tables is great for group events. We even saw a deer walking through while we were there!!

Molly Hamilton

Trout Lake is a place where all the special moments in life happen. It's where you attend birthday parties in the summer and watch your friend in the cow patterned pants have one too many grapefruit IPA. It's the place where you go on your first date and feel that first spark. It's the place where you break up with someone you thought you couldn't live without and listen to Lizzo on the bike ride home. It's a place for pickup soccer, climbing trees, picnics, watching the geese, and flirting with cuties at the farmers market. Trout Lake is for late night runs, mid summer concerts with all the East Van hipsters, and hugs after "sealing the deal." Trout Lake is a place for everyone.

Kathleen Jones

Enormous city park, running between 12th & 19th Ave! Many amenities - rec center, concession, beautifully treed, with space enough for picnicking & playing family games! A lovely place to gather, that's quite central for most people across the city! Enjoy! :)

Jennifer Stanley

Excellent community hub! Go for a jog around the lake or come by over the weekend for a lush farmers market. Dogs galore (my personal favorite reason to go)!

Scott Wong

Park and community centre has it all. Family and kids space with great activities. A nice short trail around the lake, ice hockey rink, what else do you need?

Richard Gee

Terrific peaceful & tranquil walk around a quiet lake and park.. nice escape

dave newland

Beautiful green lawns cool breezes under broad shade trees kids and digs splashing and playing in the water. Wonderfull.

Steven Lin

Great park to walk your dogs and bring your kids.

Vincent Zheng

The maple leaf here in the fall is amazing.

Rahul Negi

Beautiful place ????

GRADY SLIMS

We used to hold the Caribbean picnic at that park back in the eighties

Tiffany Jerome

Nice open park

Joe Abercrombie

Good dog park. Looks out for this guy...

Devlin Fenton

Nice park. Lots of people. Facilities look good. Didn’t go indoors to any of the building, but had a nice walk around

Signe Knutson

The Whomping Willow tree in John Hendry park is an exquisite example of the tenacity of life.

Lisa Corriveau

Love this park, the new playground is pretty awesome & it's great to have a little lake to visit, right in the heart of the city.

Chung L

Excellent open area to bring your kids and let them release their energy at the play structures. The lake is a nice feature year around with local ducks, geese, turtles, birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and pet dogs. For dog owners, the park has dedicated dog waste bins and large open fields for them to run around. The concession booth was open yesterday for convenience. It's a nice park and well maintained by the city.

Bruno Cavalleri

Such an awesome 15-20 minute walk around Trout lake!!!

Henry Liu

Nice and convenient place to visit. Beautiful scenery, nice for walk with family.

shai mor

Every park in the midst of a modern city metropolin is like a great breath of fresh air, pun intended. But the problem is, like in so many other real-estate city parks, what it there to do in the park? There is a diamond in one of the corners. You can walk your dog or walk around the lake. There is little league court on the east side. Benches are sparsely scattered around. There could be many more trees planted in strategic locations to make the park visitors less exposed to the sun in summer and the cold wind in winter, thus making the park more usable and enjoyable. City people really need parks they can use for multiple purposes and to bring a bit of nature to their concrete laden doorstep.

Carmen Castrucci

Everyone calls it Trout Lake. There's a perfect C25K running/walking loop around the lake and the fall foliage is spectacular.

The DC (Crytpwalker)

Grew up in this neighborhood as a kid. Beautiful little lake in the middle of the city, great place to bbq and have the kids run around in the summer or bbq all year if you'd like (there's a gazebo),

stephen takacs

Usually great experiences for off leash dog park

June Tulips

I walked around the entire circumference of the lake. There are two walking paths and a separate path for cyclist. There are many benches along the way for rest photos, and phone calls. There are a lot of pokemon stops too of you play that! The dog park is near by so you can bring the entire family. The canteen was open today there was hot and cold food available if you didn't want to bbq.

Eli Wood

Very nice place to walk around, plus the community centre gym is very modern with a great outdoor excercize deck

Belara Hossain

Lovely place.. with the vibrant autumn leaves around.

Sandra Benavides-Lang

Beautiful spot, great playground and trail for kids in their bikes.

Jason Mills

Love this local relaxing spot. Great for dogs and owners to get time out for quiet and exercise.

Greg S

The city could do a lot to make this park better. A nice place to go for a quick walk and great for dog owners. The water was unusable when we went due to contamination.

Danton Nguyen

They have a farmers market open every Saturday selling the freshest local ingredients! This park is also a nice place for a stroll, very safe and also has the Trout Lake Community Center nearby.

Fiona Au

John Henry Park is better known as Trout Lake. If you're a dog lover, come in the afternoon for some dog therapy. Many people bring their dogs to play in the off leash area. If you're not a dog lover, come here anyway. There's a nice beach to sit and chat in the summer, have a picnic in the grassy area in front of the lake, or go for a walk in the trails. It's especially beautiful in Autumn when the leaves turn shades of orange, and yellow.

Daryl Alexander Smith

Nice neighbourhood park to visit. Easy 10-15 minute walk around the lake. Does get a little busy especially in the afternoon, early evening.

Ray Bi

Nice place to hang out or for dating but not a huge place for outdoor activities such as volleyball or frisbee. Not many BBQ spots but we found a good one near the parking entrance which was great. Reservation is required for the general picnic area and be sure to bright your table cloth or a plastic one cause obviously, this place is too leisure to have people care about cleaning up after themselves.

Manu Gill

It's a nice park, good for taking the dog out for a walk. There's 2 playgrounds for kids, beachy area for lounging and a few picnic tables. The only annoying thing is my feet always get so dirty on the path (loose dirt) if I'm wearing sandals

Melanie Wang

Grown up here for 20+ years and love this park. Skated on the lake last winter when it froze over. However, the whole park is due for some cleaning up and upgrading especially the old fishing docks.

Adriann Esteban

Great park to bring your dog. Tons of room for them to run around and also they can play in the lake. Summer Farmer's Market is good here too.

Juliette Whitford

I love this park so much but there's no way in hell would I go in that water

Watch Dog

Lovely park for dogs to run and play to their hearts' content:)

Omaima Meski

LOVE this park. It feels like you're outside the city while in the middle of Vancouver. It has 2 playgrounds, 2 beaches, picnic tables, 2 baseball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, concessions stand, and so much more. The trail is not too long but it's kids and pets and bike friendly. You can have bbq and picnic in summer and snow sledding in winter. It's super fun!

Deborah James-Sabo

❤

GL Installations Inc.

Just had a little staff get together.. Hot dogs, Frisbee. Great place to be on a sunny day. Lots of room to play some team sports.

Christine Maurette

Off leash dog park only in the designated area. Check the map. Very popular park

Janet Milner

It's a great park but the water is no good my dog got an infection because of the water and I've heard story's about other dogs getting sick because of the water. I like that the dogs can run around and my dog loves it

William McElroy

When I was at trout lake it was a memorable experience it was like I was away from the city even though Victoria st was a block away it gave me the kind of warm feeling seeing kids playing dogs fetching sticks the beach was really impressive even though no one was swimming if you want a place to get away I definitely recommend trout lake

Hannah Wagner

A perfect place for a family BBQ. Lots of fun for the littles with great playground and sandbox full of toys!!

rauf abdul

Good place for an outing, one of the big park in Vancouver

Susan Falon “Exoticaa Breah” Drefko

I visit and love taking my son here, loves running threw the lawn , feeding the ducks and geese bread in the little pond. Kids to play with at the park, but watch around alot of dog food doo on the pathways.

Greg Taylor

This is the park that surrounds Trout Lake. There is an off-leash dog area, plenty of grass and picnic space, several baseball diamonds, a football field and more. A main bicycle route cuts through here, so I pass by often on my commute. The path is well used and well maintained. There's a beach that is staffed with a lifeguard during the summer months, but I wouldn't swim here because of the stagnant water and geese. Higher risk of swimmer's itch. Thursdays during summer there's a huge TFC volleyball league that covers most of the North (football field) and South field areas.

Matt Dlutek

Great place to hang out and chill! Only drawback is that the people that collect bottles are vultures and somewhat aggressive

David Penny

This is a great park to get out for a walk, jog, or run around the lake. While you’re there, there is a concession stand for food and drink, and you’ll often find people there with their dogs playing catch and getting some well needed walkers! Most days it is busy here mid afternoon and weekends you will always find lots of people out around the lake or playing soccer on one of the big fields. A few great spots to sit, and even some nice docks to stand on and look at the birds all around.

Howard Reid

It is great to cycle around the lake with my dog, Lexie. In the early mornings it is ideal, between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM it is often crowded with people making it difficult to cycle. Even walking, pushing the bike with my dog can be difficult... there are a mix of dog friendly and dog not so friendly people.

Dani Plumari

Such a dog friendly park! Just love this place

Lannah Lee

This park is absolutely gorgeous. Lots of space to hang and enjoy yourself. The lake is beautiful to watch. There is a park for younger children. A field to play whatever. Easy and lots of parking.

J C

Very nice park. Lake nearby, good for activities with friends and family.

Mario Anda

Excellent park in the middle of the city. go for a run, enjoy the view.. feels like you are somewhere else.

Josef Roehrl

Lots here, a small lake, dog off-leash area, baseball diamond, farmers market, bbq area, concession stand and lots of grass area.

Kimira Reddy

Cool little lake to relax and watch the ducks go by. Lots of doggo meet ups too

Natalia Gubareva

We come here a lot to play with our son. Park is clean and very beautiful. Awesome in summer when the market is on too!

Mark Handley

Nice big park. Good dog friendly dock. Good community center.

Daniela RAA

Such a gem right within the city! It's very easy to reach by bike and the farmer's market is great!

Robert Kent DesRochers

Beautiful spot in the city????

Angelique Black

Beautiful park for walking, biking or playing lots of sports, you can even swim in the lake on Summer time when is allowed.

Tanmai Bhatia

Beautiful huge park, with great trails, an occasional farmer's market, and a gorgeous lake. Picnics, Barbecues, sports are all good ideas for this place.

Dan N

Great retreat and outdoor space, weekend farmers markets are a blessing.

Ella McEwen

Awesome park. Off-leash area, small lake, lots of grass for picnics or exercise.

Myles Ryan

Love this place. Perfect for nice morning/evening runs!

Tim

One of the most relaxing places you can be in the middle of the city. Wide open spaces for large groups. Just don't think that this is a swimming or fishing spot, that's a bit overrated.

Enrique Alcaide

Really good place to enjoy the free time

Tia van Deventer

Beautiful park with two fantastic playgrounds, both a new one, made predominantly of natural materials, and an older one that is much quieter. With a beautiful walking path, a lake and tons of trees to climb, it's an awesome place to take kids!

Paul Christensen

Very nice to see most people keeping distance even in their groups... a few were ignoring protocol.

Nicholas Gallant

Open space and quiet niches out in the park. At the centre, Trout Lake provides outstanding opportunities for urban recreation.

Rambling through the digital age

Great park to go for a jog or walk. Updated kids park too.

Neha Kishore

Beautiful little lake and very pretty during fall. The red maple hugs the lake beautifully.

Niki King

One star missing because the washrooms were closed.

Zayna Zubot

I watched a tree fall down today. It went crashing down onto the porta potties. Thankfully nobody got hurt.

Sherri Scott-Berner

Beautiful park. Full of lovely trees. Big inexpensive. There's also a lake, many were swimming in it. I'm not sure I would have done that, it's beautiful to look. Good park to take a bike ride through.

Lisa Warsh-Chartier

It was very picturesque, and lovely. But the amount of goose poop was concerning. I had to dance between the feces as I tried to get into Trout Lake. Also, the worker at the concession stand was very stingy with the very inflated cost of a single scoop of ice cream. He blamed it on the city. How sad. The scoop was smaller then any scoop I had every seen in my life, anywhere.

Don Szakal

Has a small Beach with logs you can sit on/or against, a concession and public restrooms adjacent to it, gravel and paved walking trails around the perimeter of the lake with a little dock on the water, a dog park, a bike path, a baseball field and plenty of wide open grassy areas for other sports, picnics and barbecues. There are parking lots on the North side, Southside and a large one on the East side that is connected to the Trout Lake community center.

Scott Sommerville

Best community park in East Van. Great for picnics large and small, walking, jogging, playing with your dog, a quick pick-up game of soccer or baseball. There's almost always some event going on, especially in the summer - I especially like the Farmer's Market.

Samantha Epp

A delightful place to walk around, have a picnic, or shop at the farmers market that happens every Sunday.

Jytte Frost

I had the best burger I have had in a long time...friendly servers..clean.

MPH Mobile Detailing MPH

My favorite park to take my kids. Just needs more water fountains.

Dark Simpson

it was so nice to be here and even though there were a lot of people it was still very comfortable

aron ashman

It's a pretty good dog park...dogs can swim in the disgusting lake...lots of room to run around...this park has it all, acrobats, drum circles, larpers and ninjas. This place is really popular.

Simon Ching

Favourite local park of all time. Love its maple leaf season.

Daniel Linhart

My favorite park close to my house. Chill, beer and relax is welcomed here! Tons of different activities happening for public for free every day!

Brandon N

Very beautiful in the fall. They also have a really nice place for Dogs to play!

Tim Roberts

Always well maintained and clean. Great view of the mountains in the background as well as the off leash dog park.

Daniyal Ganatra

Great for walks and chilling in the garden. Very limited BBQ table/picnic table!

Emi B

Very nice park with tiny beaches, seating, and bridges. Sunset looks great from here.

Aoife Dowling

Always a delight, but even better with a sprinkling of snow (only wish it stayed longer).

Tammey Martin

Trout lake is a little gem in the heart of east van lots of room for your four legged friends as well as all us 2 leggers! Lots of spots to sit and contemplate your navel or the world u choose

Scott F. Thompson

May to September on the weekends and sometimes busy evenings the concession is open. Also watch for fire spinners and free events

Nadjeschda Goertz (PlzPageDrTinyCat)

The Trout Lake Community Center has changing rooms and other amenities, making staying all day at the lake very manageable. The grounds ate beautifully maintained.

Albert DeSiena

Nice park for walk around the lake. But too many dogs. The trails are in need for maintenance and/or upgrade

James Craxton

Beautiful park. Nice for family picnics or dog walks. Sometimes the garbage bins are full.

Dots Gaming Co (Dots Gaming Co.)

Wiener dog costume group very friendly people and pets.

Connie Kang

Lots of fun activities in summer evenings.

Ivan Lys

Awesome little green space in the city. Good bathrooms. Good walk. Good sit n chill spots. Good parking. Good sports facilities. One of the best park spaces in town.

Sumaer

Interesting park. Just don't go in the water

PourBoy Events

Bit cold this time of year but otherwise a great place to check out the fire spinners they have at night in that summer

Nick R

Trout Lake is always a good time. Lots of activity, trails, a little beach, good grass area. Lots to see and do. The Farmers Market is great as well!

Shawn Carroll

Wonderful community park. Small lake. Sometimes swimming. Dog friendly.

Bob Carpenter

A great park, this is during the CV19 era of 2020, but a great place to socially distance but yet still meet up with friends.

You don't need to be a coffee connoisseur to make good coffee at home. You'll know what you like and dislike about any coffee you try, without a sense of taste sophistocated enough to know that one has a more "winy" aroma or "clean" taste than another. However, it helps to know the taste terms used by connoisseurs so that you understand what to look for. As you make better and better coffee, you will have a more sophisticated taste for it. The Breakdown Coffee tasters look for four things, and three of them are derivative of the fourth one. At the highest level is flavor. And what comes together to make up a coffee's flavor are acidity, aroma, and body. Coffee tasters will generally pinpoint characteristics of the acidity, aroma, and body to describe the quality of the coffee bean. Most of us do not have the sophistocated sense of taste needed to be a coffee-taster, but this profession has given the rest of us a way to describe coffee but especially what you should expect from a quality cup of coffee.

Priscila Guerra Luzuriaga

Amazing park! Beautiful during summer and fall. There's a dog section in the park as well. Perfect for biking.

Mitch B.

Great park! Lots of amenities and well maintained

Hakan Deniz (Isaac)

Nice spot... but no coffee shop around to get something while your kid(s) is playing...

Kalifa Sunter

This is a great park with paths around the lake, and two playgrounds with a bathroom close to each - helpful when you're there with kids.

Ciara McEvoy

Lots to do here, tennis courts, great space for family events or picnics and access to public toilets.

drew small

This park is a community treasure. Large, spacious, with a number of different "settings" and experiences on offer. It's a quiet hub throughout the year.

Mikko S

It's spacious. There's a paved biking path and runners/walkers path. I love how there's enough shade coverage in the park for picnics and such. I'm very simple and it's enough for me to have a good peace of mind.

Jaycee C.

Park is also known as Trout Lake among the locals. This is a small medium size community park with a community centre on the west side of the park. Good for short walks. Many dog owners do not have their dog on leash when walking. For those who are afraid of dogs must take note. There is a small beach on the south side of the lake.

kyle walker

Great park, farmers market, and lake.

Mr. M

Nice park to ride a bike, stroll around or bbq and have good time in summer. It is centrally located. Very easy to go there. Plenty of parking.

Bill Hepler

Lovely place. Not too crowded usually. Have porta potties.

kim brunette

On a warm day with the dogs playing and people BBQing , it's a little bit of Heaven

Ken Brunet

Atmosphere and surrounding is calm cool and friendly. Beautiful place for family's to take their small children to go and play as freely as could be!!

Ann White Law

One of my favorite park in BC, hope communities will host more events, parties and festivals, all city vibes, connect and bring people together in harmony. Plant more fruits and flowers to eat, because someone's always hungry. ????

Carter Watson

Beautiful place. Lots of hidden paths along the walk. The swampy areas along the way are beautiful. All of the willow trees are great for climbing, and there are a few playgrounds nearby.

Brian Kim

Serene, beautiful, lovely place for oneself or companions

Gaurav Sekhon

may it forever be its own type of beautiful, whatever they name it.

H M

Absolutely my favourite park. I like to call it my "happy place".

Julio Aguilar

Single favourite park in Vancouver. Great for dog watching and a weekly local farmers market in the warmer months.

A Albert

Today 27 May 2020 at 5pm the park was crowded. There was a 2 to 3 people moving line at the female rest room, when I finally got in, it was disappointing to find that the toilet paper dispensers were empty in 2 out of the 3 stalls. The walls and floors were stained/dirty. These are very very very narrow and short stalls, very hard to not brush up against the walls and door (I am a size 4). The single sink in this 3-stall restroom was clogged. In the absence of Covid 19, we might all be able to make do with these conditions. With the presence of Covid 19, I suggest that these facilities be closed if the city does not have the resources to keep the users of these facilities safe. I and a few others left without using the toilets, but there were others who had to use it without a choice.

Karen Kohfeld

Reliable little path around a lake with dog park and playgrounds and pavilions and runners and spectacular mountain views....that floods in winter rains. But it's right there and it's ours, so I love it.

Sukritta D

Wide and clean park located at the central of east Vancouver. Good for picnic, exercising and other activities

Colin B

This place is great for dogs and owners, throwing the ball or swimming in the lake, meeting people with their dogs and having a nice social hour or two. Also great for picnics and going to Trout Lake Market or maybe using the community …

Brian Mui

Nice park for the family. It's huge. Connected all around the lake. The playground in front of the community centre is awesome for kids of all ages. Nice concession stand on the south side of the lake serving burgers, chicken strips, fries and ice cream.

Alana Keleigh

Pretty nice great to ride bike or run around the lake. There's an off leash section for dogs. The lake is more of a pond, there's a beach area. But I don't think people swim in it. The water looked pretty shallow and stagnant when we went

SALA SHIN

peaceful lake park. dog friendly park. my dog loved playing on the grass and look around with happy face

Chang Bai

Good park, not very well maintained.

Shiva Sriraag Balannagari

I loved the park, it was so beautiful with all the fall colors

Manish Kumar

It's a small and beautiful park. But it was too crowded for It's size. Also there were sections with foul smell. Certainly there are much more beautiful parks in Vancouver area.

Cody Wolf

Very busy, little parking, beautiful spot for an afternoon picnic.

Tony H

Beautiful city park with a nice modern playground. The trail around the park is even. Great for beginner runners like me.

Rudolph

Great place to have a beer. Keep open liquor 20m away from playgrounds. See City of Vancouver website for more details.

Sarah Jose

Beautiful, spacious park with tons of grassy space for sports, picnics, and playing with your dog, to name a few common activities! Do note that people are discouraged from swimming in the lake, and the Skytrain runs a few blocks away up a hill. A few lakeside docks have also been closed off.

Adrien Cashe

This park is huge! Its got the community centre, the lake, concession, farmers market, big grassy areas and playground

Khaled Helal

I was there when it was snowing, when it was raining, when it was sunny, but the most beautiful seen can be captured at a foggy night close to the lake ????

Chanittha Chanpakdee

Love this park! The view of water and mountain was beautiful

Vincent Lee

This is my go to walking trail. Great views in the fall . We enjoy the unleashed dog park and watch them all run around.

Tim Nguyen

Took my kids back to my childhood favourite and was thoroughly disappointed. I recalled the park lively with kids playing, swimming, walking dogs and fishing. Now there are signs everywhere to stay out of areas where I had explored. The docks and surrounding areas need serious maintenance. We spent about an hour walking the perimeter of the lake and went back to our local Green Timbers Park. Disappointing.

Katherine Au-Yeung

A good place for family and pets to enjoy a walk. Some Sunday you can shop around the farmers market over there too.

Hailey Klubi

Love this park. So so lucky to live just blocks away. The only thing I could wish for was cleaner water. Do not advise swimming.

mjean amaze

Like the BBQ area, spacious and near the washroom and park for kids...great big tree perfect shade...

Alana Powell

Beautiful park. Lots of space for groups, large or small.

Eric Chuang

I love this park very much.

Heidi U

The farmers market on Saturday is the most wholesome way to spend a morning. Beautiful nature and chill vibes. Always people around any time of year.

Max Ko

Super dog-friendly park with lots of space for picnicking, BBQ's, fire spinning, acro-yoga, jogging, basketball, baseball, rugby, volleyball and more...

Bryan Hemingway

Great place to hangout and relax with friends. It is big enough to feel seperate from the city, while still being in it. Very few trout though

Bronson VM

Nice park, but people there not wearing Face Mask during COVID-19 out break. Be careful when you go there.

Feona Lim

Another beautiful day at the park with friends and family.

Kevin Martineau

Great park, and place to have a lunch.

Gordon Spelay

Great site for a picnic and BBQ.

Bashir Harara

It is nice place to spend a time walking or running or spend a part of the day with family or friends playing or celebrating.and it is near commercial street safway shopper and many stors and fast food restaurants.

Neal a

Great place to take the family and the lil doggo for a walk.

Zora Saboe

Beautiful Park. Gorgeous Willow trees and lots of space to run around. Can be muddy in areas. Great walking area

Thomas Maines

Nice big park to take the kids and dog for a walk. Don't miss the Farmer's market on Saturdays!

Janet Lee

Beautiful and accessible park. Two playgrounds for kids that have washrooms nearby. Some dog owners will let their dogs off leash in all areas of the park so if you are really nervous around dogs you need to be aware of that. To be honest, I would rather let my dog run around Everett Crowley Park.

Kristal Bodell

It was a beautiful day . Everyone had there own thing happening. We bought food ( chickenstrip n fries at concession and friend got the veggie burger. Everything was great. ) even have icecream ;p we found a nice patch of grass to sit on there was lots to choose from even goin on a busy saturday evening. Sun stayed till about 845/9pm There was alot of geese so that means there was plenty of poopys around so noo bare feet! Great place for picnics ,bbqs, vollyball, frisbee. stay active friends ! ????

Steve Cobbin

Hidden gem in the middle of the city. Very tranquil

Charlotte Swanson

Great place for a walk! So many dogs ????

Hailey Prendergast

Always beautiful but a little crowded and need more bathrooms!

J P W

Dogs are out of control here, good vibe despite the entitled owners

Amy Fd

Was nice walk water is very dirty

Tin Ng

Good facilities and environment. User friendly setting. Great location for local residents and visitors.

Ming Louie

Enjoyed some Korean corn dogs from the food truck that was there.

Daniel Davis

It was relaxing, clean, and beautiful.

Gordy Wong

Great park with lease free area for dogs Also known as trout lake Has a newer community center with gym area & ice skating rink Has a a small coffee bar in the center Park is near Nanaimo & Grandview hw Lots of park space for picnics cycling or just walk around trout lake or chill on a park bench & watch the ducks

Josh Ogden

It's a great little lake, warm to swim in during the summer, and not as busy as most of the beaches. There's even on duty lifeguards during the summer. Good playgrounds that the kids love, and just a lovely park to boot!

Garry Chapman

It was nice to see all if the people out to gather for bbq's and relax.

Ray David

Good place to have a picnic, or go for a light jog. Small beach area as well that's not overly busy during the summer months.

Tony Franchi Franchi

Now that's a great place to bring your dog for a walk and get a little exercise your self because there's a lake there and it takes a little while to get around it. Then you meet up with all the other dogs and there owners when you are finished walking around the lake

Jonathan Weresch

Family friendly place where picnics and BBQ 's rule.

Paula Uyenaka

Trout is a favourite for dogs (and anyone really)!

Seunghyun Lim

In the middle of fall

Seb Laufer

Gteat place to hang out, maybe swim maybe not? Walk around Lake/Pond is a little short, other then that it is pretty great.

Sanaa Alkholi

A beautiful garden that can enjoy nature and walking, it has a playground for young and old sports, and a beautiful lake.

P Yew

Nice big park to find a quiet place to find some zen

Christian Colquhoun

A nice little park in the middle of East Van. Great for families and those taking their dogs for a walk.

Janice Mann

A largish but barebones park. Good if you need a big space for softball, football or walking your dog. Minimal facilities for small children, and less than minimal landscaping and seating. The city cuts the grass and that's about all. Farmers markets, and a few other events throughout the year liven things up.

Sayeeda Noorani

Playground structure is great for older kids up to 12. Young ones too are accommodated. Beautiful view. Lots of shaded trees. Hard to socially distance. It can get quite busy, even when kids are in school. Pro d days for kids are packed there and so is break. Nevertheless, most people are respectful to give you space. The kids on the other hand will be kids and it's hard for them to contain their excitement, so if you dont want your child near other kids, not the best option.

Bob McKenna

Great for dog walking. Community centre includes daycare facilities, workout gym, and ice rink.

Fu-Hoe Paul Lam

The community centre was rebuilt some years ago, along with the park, and sand box. These renovations compliment the lake nicely, and the paths around it. Deceptively big, quiet, and a joy to take in nature, even though it's right off two major arteries

Ed Braun

Nice park, nice lake to look at (Trout Lake) to bad you can't swim in it. Wednesday nights there is live music. It's a nice walk from my house.

Mark Silvanovich

5 stars just based on the size and variety of stuff to do, and how many lakes are you going to find in the middle of the city? City has been planning to upgrade park for ages but has not followed through... so some parts are showing their age... but that doesn't really detract from the experience at all, still a great park.

Dave Malcolm

Great place to take your dog or your friends. Don't take your friend's dog though. (whatever you do)

Jasmine Song

Nice park with two dog parks. Bring your love together.

Giovana Nascimento

Nice area to have a picnic or BBQ. Lots of shades and also open areas for the ones that are looking to get some sun tan. Good for family/friends/group gathering.

Gordon Gordon

Great little park, lots of matue tree, lake is usually filled with dogs and the cleanliness of the water reflects it. Solid location for a picnic.

Adrian Pang

Excellent dog park area, spacious and a nice trail around the lake. Can get muddy and icy, though, and the water is often too dirty to swim in. Parking can be tricky in summer when one of the parking lots is used for farmer market.

Cori C

I love the trees and the open space for walking. It's never crowded. Peaceful.

Chris Blair

Nice short walk. There's a path that's closer to the water that you'll probably want to wear boots for most of the year in Vancouver. But there's a dry path further away from the water as well as a bike path on the East side. Off-leash area! Also, a beach with a floating dock. Not sure I'd swim in there though.

Dustin Jones

Lovely park for a walk. So many dogs and usually lots of nice jam sessions. Good foods and the farmers market is terrific.

Mare W

Perfect park for walking, jogging, playing sports and there's a lake in the middle

Jerry Wong

Very nice shady tree areas when the sun gets really cooking later in the day :)

Sienna StLaurent

Not as good since they took the docks away but still a nice and close to the city nature hangout.

bob smith

Beautiful park, dog friendly, and weekly farmers market

KC Pearcey

This is a freat park to go to for a stroll. There is a dog beach for those with 4 legged friends and thete are usually quite a lot of people there with their dogs. There is also a lot of wildlife at this park and their are coyote warnings as well. The views from the south end of the park and beach are beatiful. In the summer this beach is swimmable sometimes however the lake does get closed to swimming frequently due to high fecal coliform counts. There is also a covered area for BBQs and you have to reserve space with the Parks board if you want to use it. It is a family oriented park and their are lots of children there in the summer months. It has a concession stand and washrooms as well. And a shower at the south beach. Dogs are not allowed on the south beach, especially in the summer months. Trout Lake Community Centre is also located here.

Eddie So

A really nice city park with lake and mountain view at the north. It's good for all season. Either you only want a quiet place to stroll around or bring your family. Good for kids too. There are a beach for swimming in summer. It's closed to the community centre with lot of parking.

Wayne Shin

great place to hang out but needs to be cleaned and maintained a bit more. the pond is filthy.

ANA danesh

Best place to take Autumn Photos, amazing mountain view and gorgeous colorful reflections on the lake.

Jeff P

Spacious with plenty of room for a picnic, large or small. Quite clean as well. I love this park, been coming here since I was a kid.

David Eaton

Beautiful

Leon Adeuqram

Quiet and nice place . Good for nature loving people and if you have a pet dog, would be nice to walk with around the park.

mehbooh

Nice park with lake in the middle. Easy stroll around the lake and if you are dog lover but don't have one yourself, you are in it for a treat. Off leash dog park there and always many cute dogs running around.

Dave Lawrence

Best off leash dog park in Vancouver. Separate parking lot and beach area for the dogs. Everyone there is very relaxed around the dogs. You will not be harassed by overly officious park employees about your dog.

david piraquive

Really beautiful park and lake definitely a nice place to go an relax

Grandma Valerie

Good parking great place to walk the dog and an off leash area for fido.

Simon Wong

Lovely park and community centre.

Jim Chang

Very nice park. Good facilities. Can swim in the lake plus a little beach sandy area and 2 playgrounds on opposite ends.

John Pavich

I grew up about 1 mile from this park which is also where trout lake is, although all we ever caught was ugly catfish. Today they have a very popular farmer's market every Saturday from I believe 9am to 2 pm. Which goes from I think May to October. You can also bring your dog here cause there is an area for them and a lot of people bring their dogs. A lot of people swim in Trout lake in the summer but it's had problems in the past with being too dirty but i haven't heard anything lately. A great place for picnics, jogging and riding your bike !

Che Cruz

If you wanna see fall colors, this is the best place in Vancouver.

Lobito Valdz

Beautiful park.... Nice place to go with your kids (Family) and friends... calm and easy to get there on transit.

Allan Fur

Very nice walking trails around Trout Lake with a beautiful backdrop of the North Shore Mountains. The mountains are captivating especially in the wintertime when covered with snow. Kid, family and dog-friendly park

Markus Abuan

A great place for a walk and has a solid recreation centre.

D

This place is great for dogs and owners, throwing the ball or swimming in the lake, meeting people with their dogs and having a nice social hour or two.

Jackie Chow

Also known as Trout Lake. Beautiful year round. Great community center with playground, soccer field, path around lake and an ice rink as well. City allows skating on lake when sufficiently frozen as well!

Liam Ready

It's peaceful and it's relaxing. East vans hidden gem. I come to ponder often.

Laura Dion

Most peaceful place in town

Ryan Craddock

great east Vancouver park, a great "Bark" for the doggo. relatively quiet for walks in the day or night. often lots of events happening here so keep an eye out. And the farmers market in the summer time is where it's at (expect VFM to be packed here).

p k

If you dont plan to touch the water and just want to chill on a beach or on some grass, this is as good a spot as any in vancouver.

Karen L

For people, families, friends and pet friendly. Greenspace, walkways, concessions, the lake of course. Nice open space, good parking.

Bernadette Edmond

What a great park for picnics. Dogs are welcome.

Karthick S

Nice park with more space for kids to play and for a family/friends meet up

cathy yu

Good to visit in fall: beautiful colorful leaves, a kids friendly place!

james watson

Nice small lake to walk around and a great place to walk your dog.can be alittle crowded on the weekend.

Jack Dandy

Let's call it what it is... DOG PARK.... if you like these furry creatures you can make a lot of four legged friends here

Elaine Siu

Great park with two playground areas, lots of baseball and grass fields, a mini beach, a small concession stand, and even a gazebo area for BBQ-ing, birthdays, and other events. Lots of interesting characters can be found hanging out here. There are paths that loops around the lake for both walkers and bikers - it’s about 1 km in distance. Lots of benches located around the lake; washrooms on either side of the lake are available for public use. Also a great place to walk your dog and let him/her roam around in the off-leash areas. Park is well kept and very clean. The associated community centre was renovated a while back and has a great gym and skating rink.

Heather MacKinnon

I love this park. Has lots of shaded areas and space. Great spot for a picnic!

Wan Ming Wong

The park convenient located off Victoria drive. Closed to city Gasoline so expensive.. It's very popular in summer, June July, August, big groups of friends, family comes early till dust to have picnic or BBQ.. Some bring guitar, harmonica... Full of fun . harmony. Many shady area Our 100 member choir holds our post concert picnic here in July for last 20 years. Lots of shades. Enjoyed

M Bhatti

Baseball diamonds, beautiful lake although more the size of a pond. Nice walking trail around the lake and with public washrooms make this is a nice place to walk the dog or do a couple loops when getting a run in.

Teagan S

Really great park for a picnic or bbq. Not too busy and lots of green space to sit or to play some frisbee. I'll definitely be coming back!!

F L

For dog lovers that doesn't own one, this is the place for you.

Victor Yeung

This is a small urban park located in east Vancouver. A lot of people walk their dogs in the park.

Park popular with runners, cyclists and dog lovers. Loved coming here with wife, sitting down, having a coffee and observing people

Krazzee Mann

Its a great friendly park. Off leash dog area. Trails.

Fahza WCH

Big park with a nice lake in the middle of the park and many jogging and biking trails with a couple of playgrounds for kiddies!

Randy Bamford

Beautiful park right in the middle of east van. The new community centre is excellent. I go to use the gym 3 times a week. The equipment is well taken care of and there is always a lot of natural light coming in through the floor to extremely high ceiling windows. It's not usually too busy, even in January and February.
