Reviews of John Lawson Park - West Vancouver (Park)

Adam Stephenson

Great modern outdoor park for kids of all ages.

Michael Burton

Great park by the water, the playground is amazing, lots of greenspace for picnics.

Megan Green

Beautiful outdoor area. Tons of logs to relax and sit by the beach. Beautiful location to see the sunset. My only complaint is that there’s a park right by where you would sit to see the sunset, so the screaming children can kill the vibe a bit. Although I have never used them I also believe there are BBQing areas. There is also a covered eating area and plenty of benches throughout the park.

Fardad Soleimanloo

Good place for kids to play and have fun. This is the first park whose toy Xylophones were tuned perfectly and you could actually play something on them.

king scorpier

Peaceful and gorgeous spot makes you feel like touching the spirit of the Great Vancouver.

Mahshid Ghodusi

The park is a great place for families to let the kids play, or to picnic.

Paul Fogerty

Great water park for the kids, newly developed, next to the ocean and the beaches with the sea wall. Great outdoor space for bbq's and playing with family.

Наталья Кошик

Love this place

Henry Xu

Attended an amazon team BBQ lunch there with my girlfriend. The park is along the beach, we can go all the away to the park royal shopping centre along the coast line. It’s a good place to hang out for a weekend afternoon. Geese and sea birds there are fat. I even saw a golden eagle on the top of a spruce. Enjoyed it. A quiet spot in the city to chill.

Gareth Ronald-Jones

Wonderful playground for all ages. Washroom facilities and picnic area as well.

Gregoz Gawronski

Great park for kids and strolling along the beach

Vancouver is surrounded by water and this place is beautiful to walk around and explore . Away from the water you can find great coffee and food.

Phuoc Thinh [Peggy] Pham

Good place for kids and hiking

Mandy C. Boyd

Amazing views, clean beach, cruise ships coming in and out, washrooms, food trucks and a skatepark. Very close to ambleside.

Leanne Taylor

Attended the Harmony Arts Festival. So much fun. We enjoyed the live music, food and beverage vendors and the artist exhibits displayed true creativity! I was impressed. We grabbed an ice cream from a local trolly cart vendor and grabbed a seat on a log at the beach. It was a well organized event with so much to see and do for people of all ages.

Awni Alhosaini

Long beach side to walk with green area around, it is full of gorgeous views

This place holds special memories for my family as my husband and I did our baby’s gender reveal here! I just went here the other day as well and absolutely love the waterpark for the kids! It’s also connected with the West Van seawall, which is what o came to do this time!!

Moe Far

Nice picnic area

Yuyi H

John Lawson playground is my favourite playground to bring my kid. It has water park, sand play area and lots of play structures, not to mention it is just right besides the sea wall. The sunset is amazing.

behzad asadpour

Beautiful beach playground ????

Merle Wesley

Was out walking in the park and beaches on my lunch break. What beautiful views this place has! Breathtaking and windy kind of day! I will say it was totally worth the time to get to know this area. Perfect spots to enjoy with everyone!

Robert Arthurs

Best place in the world for a family picnic sit back relax enjoy the sun enjoy the beach and watch the ships go by

Simon Chung

Located between Ambleside Park and Dundarave Park, John Lawson is a great, little park for kids. It has a variety of log climbing and wooden play structures, mini water park, and a little wooden train. Lots of benches and picnic areas. Gets busy during the summer. Parking is somewhat limited. This is also a terrific location to view cruise ships as they come under Lions Gate bridge.

Oscar Kwok

We went to this park for a sushi picnic and to enjoy the view! We sat on a log to see the view of the sea which was calming with the waves. The highlight was the sunset which was beautiful because of the clouds became pink!

Alym Amlani

One of my favorite places in Vancouver. Stunning views and pet friendly. Highly recommended.

Lowell Kingston

Nice but even leashed dogs are not permitted.

Christine Petersen

Beautiful place to walk and see birds, seals, otters and weasels, plus lovely ocean view.

Sergio “Sergeminator” Juarez

Good varierty of playground games for children of all ages and lots of space for family activities.

Neil Privett

Wonderful seawall with fantastic views. Great for jogging , a Sunday stroll or just sitting

Steve Fourchalk

Great park but you need to keep your eye on your kids. There was the worst accident I have ever witnessed at a park. Child ran head on into a climbing bar and it was mouth level for this child and took out all his front teeth. These things happen in an instant, so keep a close eye!!

Sergio Arrambide

Beautiful perfect for kids

Angie Chappus

2 separate areas, one for older kids, one more appropriate for tots. Plenty of sand for the littles to be creative and explore with their imagination. Gorgeous views all around!

Raggedy Dreams

Too bad there's only certain parts of the park to walk your dog...

TooMuchFire

Amazing little park that has enough to keep you and the little one's occupied with play, or discovering. Parking is adequate with 3 hours to walk, explore or just be. A fantastic view with the sun in its fullness as you watch it setting on a most divine sunny day in Vancouver. Trails are a bit tight, as the volume of locals or from others parts we're out in droves yesterday, but was delightful. Will be on our must go to parks list.

ellen greenspoon

Great place to meet friends. Covered tables with ocean view!

Davood Panah

Best place for relaxing and meditation

Clifford Lewis

It's a wonderful place to sit on a beautiful day beautiful view

Rae Chel

Such a beautiful park. Has a very nice water park for the kids, a pier to watch the boaters and look out to see Stanley Park and Lions Gate Bridge. This park also has some nice picnic benches and a near by public washroom. Really nice place to walk along the sea side

Kathy Stivin

Great place for the kids. The recently upgraded play ground is the Taj Mahal of playgrounds. Plenty of washroom space, and lots of BBQ stations for the pic-nic crowds in the summer. Good parking. And its right next to the one and only Fresh Co in Vancouver that sells great seafood and takeout groceries.

Omid Zhian

The park offers an interesting variety for kids on its playground, especially in the summer when water works are also available. My daughter enjoys going up the woodsteps and then sliding down the bar. Her second favorite activity is going to Ambleside Pier nearby to watch people catching crabs and at times, if lucky, the otter family that occasionally hunts there.

Learning Headphones

Great place for families???? lots of different areas that are fun and kid friendly.

Sam H

Fantastic park, amazing playgrounds for the kids and lots of grass too. Decent facilities, and a surprisingly good amount of parking in the area. The only thing that could make it better is composting/recycling bins and electric barbeques.

Carey Vandenberg

The park and beach are all in one. Great for young families. Best park and beach combo anywhere in BC I've been to.

Rabiya N. Rana

Wonderful place for both children and adults. Nice kid swings and a wonderful view to seek peace from for hours and hours and hours....

Jackie Rey

Great park for the kids. It also has a water park a few picnic tables. Nice grassy area and it's right by the beach.

Evangeline Dalaya

What a nice place to bring children to play and have spectacular views. There are two play structure areas. One which is more spread out for the little kids and a larger structure for bigger kids. There's the shoreline where you can sit on logs and hunt for sea shells. There's a public washroom and ample parking in the area. There's also a nice long path to walk along the seawall.

Paul van Aggelen

Great place for families to enjoy the rugged beach and views

Danny Yoo

Great family-friendly park complete with beach, playground, bathrooms, and paved seawall. Active rail line so keep your kids near when you hear the train thundering towards you.

Geordie Stowell

Lovely park right by English Bay. Tranquil and very scenic

Richard Loat

Lovely park that keeps getting nicer with the waterfront features and development. Good playground to bring kids or a park to have a BBQ at if you can get a spot in the gazebo. No BBQs though because of the fire warning! There's a phenomenal and large playground for kids which is Pirate themed!

Caroline Topperman

Always a pleasure to drop by when I'm in town. It's fun to see the area developing. I wish it were a bit more dog friendly.

Simon Milne-Day

Stunning location with a great park for the kids.

Ellen Henderson

Its a busy but lovely park on the seawall. Great place for a stroll anytime. Views are spectacular.

Clinton Wong

Absolutely love coming here as a family. There's so much to do, whether you want to go for a walk, have a picnic in the grassy area, or just relax on the beach. It's also probably one of the best park for kids in Metro Vancouver. The playground is fantastic, with a nice water area as well as several "themed" sections for different ages. The views are absolutely spectacular. Bonus, tons of free parking in the area and there's also some great local shopping around Marine drive.

Carlo Mangibin

Clean and spacious park although there are some homeless people setting up camp by the washrooms. They seem to be minding their own business. Great view of the lions gate and I find it less crowded than ambleside.

Behrad Mahmoudi

Nice in-house wine and delicious food

Rommel Diocariza

Beautiful beach view and a playground for kids

R

Mary Mousavizadeh

This is a beautiful park. There's free taiji on Saturday and Sunday at 10am. Totally worth checking out!

Dominique Lam

Beautiful park on the beach. Lovely views. Nice playground and splash pad for the kids. Parking can be hard to find, and no dogs allowed, so leave the dogs at home.

Daniela Bonino

Pretty good place: wonderful for having fun with children! Good age: from 2 to 12 years old. There are water games, sand area, and climbing games: have fun! Here there are pic nic areas, you can also take a nice walk. Bad point is restroom: it was dirty, and it was not so easy to be used with children.

L. V.

This a great spot to spend a sunny afternoon. Lots of grass to enjoy (some shade, some sun), and a beautiful view out to the ocean. If you have kids: there is 3 clusters of jungle gyms for 3 different age groups, that are near enough together for the children to be entertained while all being within easy eyesight. There is also a small spray-pad for them to cool off in, and bathrooms nearby.

Daniel Díaz

So, they have a path for the salmon to go upriver, is the perfect match for city + nature coexistence, a small entrance for a great fish to fulfil the basic instinct. I like this country so much.

Nasrin Moradinik

My kid loves here . The play tools are mostly wooden and creative..

Mike

Beautiful park by the beach with nearby playground for the little ones restaurants and amenities nearby. Can get crowded especially weekends in the summer near festival time. ...come early to enjoy a quiet stroll (on you way out before 10am)

Ξ Π

Lovely little park by the sea.

Hooman Rezaei

Very beautiful place. Good for kids playing around. The only downside is that there is not enough table in the park.

Adrian Scott

John Lawson Park is a great place to go and visit in West Vancouver. There is plenty of stuff to do for younger kids including playing in a water park (so bring your bathing suit!) The views are spectacular and there are plenty of amenities nearby. Parking is a bit of an issue as space is at a premium. It's usually quite busy, so come early and get a good spot.

DJ Ferguson

Nice park. Time was fun minus the beer drinking pot smokers. No one patrolling.

Ivana Kresojevic

Beautiful sunset today! You have to love West Vancouver and walking through John Lawson Park.. I do.

Reza Roboubi

Amazing scenery and sunset. Calm lovely walk. Calm relaxed people.

Josh Noh

Huge space. Beautiful beach. Great place to have a picnic.

Diko Karakas

Very nice park with Beautiful scenery. Would benefit with more proactive management of the waste that can accumulate at trash cans during peak hours.

Jim Green

Excellent place to take a picnic lunch or dinner. You can walk, run along the Seawall and walk your dog in most areas of the Seawall. Where your not able to there is an upper trail for your dog. Views are beautiful of Stanley Park and Lions Gate Bridge. Great place to meditate or do Yoga. Very quiet.

Kash Khamisi

Perfect for kids to play. Awesome scenery.

Franz Winterstein

Not a good park in any way at all. I really don't recommend this park at all.

Mahmoud Salehi

It's a great place to let your dogs out running play and jump in the water.

Mustafa Ersin SARIER

Really nice place to walk

This has to be one of my favorite parks to go to with the kids. It is quintessentially Vancouver (or West Vancouver), tying together the spectacular natural environs with thoughtfully made play areas for children. It has playgrounds - one for older children and one for the younger ones. It also has a splash pad with lots of fun water features nestled between the two play areas. The younger children's playground is on sand which is also a lot of fun for the kids. Typically, this play area slowly accumulates a number of communal shovels, pails and other sand toys over the course of a summer season. So don't fret if you've forgotten to bring little Johnny's favorite sand utensil! The beach offers additional enjoyment for all. Although a little rocky and the water quite brisk, it's still very nice to head down to the ocean to examine sea and beach critters hiding under rocks, and to watch passing cruise ships and float planes. There are a number of picnic tables scattered in the surrounding green spaces - make sure you get there early to stake your claim to a table and a convenient spot. Try to find a spot with views of the play areas if you're supervising little ones. After you've had a great picnic meal, there's nothing like a pleasant constitutional to help digest. The sea wall path leads to Ambleside Beach (east) and Dundarave pier (west). A pleasant stroll along the water with more fantastic views and friendly folk. There is a bike path as well. Parking can be challenging, but there is a lot and street parking. Despite the 2 hour time limit, every time that I've been there I haven't had to worry about parking enforcement* (*this is NOT a guarantee that you will not be ticketed if you exceed the allowable time! Use caution).

Nick Harris

Beautiful park on the water. Nice children’s playground with water features.

Keegan Kent

Beautiful park and great shelters

Riley Park Studio

Always a clean, scenic place to be. The view never gets old. Not noisy or crowded.

Lana Rogova

Beautiful ocean view, perfect for walk or jogging, , for watching sunsets.

MaHmooD KhaN

Nice place for long walk or running along the water and you can also capture a beautiful sunset ???? it has playing ground too so you can bring your kids and if you pet they have specific place for them to walk along with you without disturbing others and few quite good restaurants around for a light bite or drink

Dan Clunn

Great service, friendly staff, food was good as always. Clean and prompt too! I had the chicken quesadilla for lunch. My only complaint is that the jalapeño ranch and the salsa it was served with was not spicy at all, But then again I'm used to spice that punishes me with every bite so maybe I'm not a good judge on this. I'd definitely go to this location again

Anne Marie Webb-Hughes

Busy but good for children

Peter Gill

First time here and was impressed with the amount of activities for children. Very quiet with fantastic views

Edgar Oliveira

Great place for families. Great view of the bridge.

Svyat Lashkevych

I liked it. Overall a nice place, nice view

Evans Lawson

Loved what the community has done to remember one of their greatest forebearers. Very nice.

Lovely park, nice views across Stanley Park and UBC, a good Playground and water park fire the kids, a pier to wander, all attached to the popular Sea Wall walk. The beach is typical rocky West Van beach though.

Douglas Kelly

We love it there Always fun for my daughter and me amazing ocean views

Tom Ve

????‍☠️ ????

Martin Johnson

John Lawson park is awesome! Water park for kids is always a big hit especially when it is hot. Great events all summer long. Most notably the Harmony Arts Festival annually. Great place to meet and watch the sunset whilst enjoying the fresh sea air and a view that few in the world has to enjoy.

Virginia Dee

It’s a sweet oceanfront park. The playground is popular and there’s a cute little art gallery nearby. Lovely views and a rocky beach.

Jini Singh-Henderson

Best view, great playground, clean bathrooms, centrally located.

Paul Hazon

Plenty to keep the kids happy for a couple of hours. Don't forget a swimsuit in the summer so they can play in the water features!

Kaveh Hajighazi

Great spot with unbelievable view. Adequate parking.

Barra Wayne

Walked for hours on the seawall on a sunny cool crisp winter day! Had the place literally to myself. The 3.5 hour amble...the ever changing landscape...from glass towers to mountains high...from towering bridges near and far...and the glass of an ocean made this stroll pure magic!

Shauna Simpson

Great area for parents and kids! Water park, play area. Sand area. Benches and tables. Grassy area to lounge and seconds from the water!

David Schooley

Nice little litte chip and putt. Watch out for the West Van police..

Jess Foreman

Amazing place. Beautiful views and clean

My favorite park to take my family. Such amazing views.

Gene Teichroeb

Nice views and a great walking neighborhood nearby with shopping and restaurants.

Victoria Klippenstein

Unfortunately there is nowhere in the area to picnic if you have kids and a dog.

Trona Garvie

A great outdoor space for the whole family to enjoy picnics, the playground, long walks and biking and blading. There are even bathrooms.

Erika Quee

Awesome kids playground and close to the beach. Handy washroom facility.

Tom Parkinson

The playground in the park is deservedly award winning. There's something more fun avout wooden playgrounds - they evoke a more adventurous environment, even if they are otherwise the same as the usual plastic fare. In this instance, however, the theme blends the locations two most obvious features - the beach and the railroad - into a playground that 5 year old me would be jealous of. Hell, middle aged me was jealous as well! Anyway, my two children loved it and I couldn't see any other child there who wasn't taking full advantage of the slides, ladders, ropes and climbing frames.

Pourya Rad

Kids playground was so good. Nice place to hangout.

Renaissance Man

Close to my place of residence, very big and peaceful , good place to have fun and some liquor.

Alex Storie

Fantastic place right by the ocean play in the park or on the beach look for crabs under the Rocks you'll be guaranteed a great time

Nikhil Thekken

Great place to hang out enjoying the coast of Vancouver

Kirk Robinson

Great park to bring the kids. Playground has an excellent view of the ocean, a lot of variety of structures to play on. In the summer there’s a water park to cool off, but it’s worth the visit year round. Connects directly to the sea wall path for a longer walk. Washroom facilities are nearby, plenty of places to sit while the kids climb.

Starbright1984

Just a beautiful place all around. A bit crowded, but that is to be expected.

Sassan RC

We all need to keep our parks clean. Please clean after yourself and before leaving park.

Ryan Alty

What is there not to like about this place. It's pretty awesome for kids, families or just to hang out. BBQ is allowed and further down drinking alcohol is allowed.

Mario E Crn

I love that place! Just can't wait to return!

Onur Gul

Came here for a friend's birthday party and it was a fun trip we made a bbq and went fishing as well I would definitely come to this park again!

Amazing place to have a relaxed walking with a nice view.

Christian Van Herk

Great place to sit by the water and chill.

It a gorgeous walkway, right beside the water, there are chairs facing the water every short distance, dogs are not allowed on the pathway but there is a small fenced trail for the dogs to walk beside you but on the other side of the fence, the park itself is small with nice landscaping .

Zahra Ehtemam

Nice amenities and short drive. But also very crowded.

James Parkins

Great place to meet family and have a picnic. Wish less popular as people coming from other than W.V. - too crowded.

Jatinder Sidhu

Great play equipment, especially for younger kids. The water park (only operational in summer) is excellent. Bring a change of clothes and a towel.

David Townsend

Nice, relaxing boardwalk for walkers only. Very civilized.

Celtic Savage

Great place for the kids! Full washrooms available and I believe part of it is a water park in the summer time.

Tim Chu

One of the best parks in greater Vancouver. It has spaces for picnic, walking, biking, and kids to climb around. It also has a small kids water park during warmer months.

Ron Lange

We really loved the park, there's plenty of grass, picnic tables, washrooms, lots of shade, BBQ ash collection, we had a great time.

Gorgeous views, amenities, beaches, walk ways, a pier, picnic area, bathrooms and food are all here!

Thomas Cha

Great park for kids.. Lots of different playground areas suitable for different ages.. A nice water play area for summer day and lots of open green spaces. It just a victim of its own popularity..so it can get pretty crowded on weekends and parking can be a challenge

Rand M

Nice bbqing park. Get there early because it gets busy

Allan Jensen

Great park with lots of parking. Beautiful scenery and one of the best children's play parks anywhere in the city. Well worth the drive!

Beautiful place beside the ocean. For the most part people were observing social distance. Washrooms were fairly clean. Small play area for the kids. Free parking.

Mike Henderson

Great place for a picnic. And then a stroll along the seawall.

Mark Redcliffe

Grew up going to John Lawson. Fantastic beach and grassy areas for BBQing. Great playground for the kids. Bathrooms are usually pretty clean. Fresh Street Market is across the road for groceries and supplies. Banks and gas station within one block. Level railway crossing and connected to the seawall so lots of good walking. Not great for dogs, who must be leashed and can't walk on the seawall...they have to walk along the railway tracks on the other side of a fence!

bill shannon

Lovely spot, right on the ocean...great kids play area

Daniel Silver

Great park for young kids.

Babak Molaie

Very clean and friendly place

What a fun section of waterfront! We've been coming to Vancouver for 50 years and just discovered this gem. Very accessible, great views, uncrowded even on a beautiful Easter weekend (don't know about Summer!) Lots of creative touches, incredible playground for the kids.

Benjamin Crowden

Awesome little park with a great view

Elena Nahum Leroy

Great place to go with kids with a fantastic waterfront view.

Carol Price

This is a beautiful spot right on the ocean with spectacular views. The once state-of-the-art playground needs some sprucing up though.

Usman Dagli

Great place for kids as well as adults

Peter Rabbit

This one of my favorite places. There often are events at this location, harmony arts festival. There's a great child's playground here with that rubbery stuff to protect kids. I've never seen the kids get too aggressive. There are benches to sit and enjoy the water. There are bathrooms at this location. Coffee and Savary Island pies are near too. There is the entrance to the seawall and dogs can come too. Dogs on one side of the fence, people on the other.

Pauline Pang

Great place for kids.

Gordy Wong

Located at 750 12th Street I West Vancouver. On the north side of Marine Drive, use the left turn bay for Ambleside Park. There is a play area for children. There is limited parking in the park. And a footpath connecting to Ambleside Park which has a lease free section for dogs and includes a portion along the water front. NOTE there is no street parking along Marine Drive

Dar Corr

Excellent seaside playground and water park. Limited parking, but that's because of the plentiful shopping and food options nearby.

Foodie Liang

Kids friendly place! Playground, beach, washroom and water splash park all in one!

Ashkan Samivand

Beautiful park

Rowena Cameron

Best of both worlds... Faraway from the the heart the city, yet a beautiful relaxing family beach side to let life pass by. Especially when event are going on, like the Harmony Arts, etc...

Irfan Dhanani

If you live your walls around Vancouver, you've got to go check out the sea wall by John Lawson park, then finish the evening by the waves.

navie grosz

Found this little gem while waiting for an appointment. Great for an afternoon picnic with kids. Little play ground and splash pad.

William Jackson

The park is awesome, with lots to do to entertain the kids, but given the difficulty in finding parking, I can only give it 4/5 stars.

Kayleigh

Such an amazing park right on the ocean. Park, spray park, sand area to play and amazing views if you walk along the ocean.

Af Sh

It’s one of my favourite park! You have an access to play ground, sand and beach. The only thing that I would consider is super crowded. Specially now( pandemic covid19)

Spectacular view, perfect place for a short walk

Subrata Chakrabarti

Beautiful waterfront park. Good for kids and adults. A very nice area for walking in fresh air Beautiful view on a sunny day. Feels good to be here. You feel uplifted by the sun and water; people smiling and saying "hi". Park your car on Marine Drive and walk down to the park. It's a short walk.

Charna Erlichman

Options for all ages. Enclosed swing seats, slow roller slide, big swing for the under 2 crowd. Large grassy area for running. Sand area for older children. Water park in summer. Walking by the beach and beach exploring for kids too. Bus or walk if you are close enough.

Moe Barakat

Love the park here. Lots of fun for the kids to play and nice for parents to relax or go for a walk on the beach.

Toni Tichauer

Great place for kids. Im not allowed there as i have a dog but i walk past. Lots of interesting unique play structures. Parking a nightmare in summer.
