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

As parks go, this is pretty disappointing. The write-up we…read morefound before going said to expect to see beavers, birds and lots of other wildlife. No such luck - we saw a butterfly, a couple birds, a beetle and that's about it. That said, this is a nice path for walking and we appreciate that for the most part, it's not shared with cyclists. Beware if you go on a hot day that there is very little protection from the sun. Dress in layers and definitely bring a hat and sunglasses as on the day we visited last summer we absolutely roasted and then melted in the heat! Plenty of parking available and it's also nice that it's not too far out of the way.

Six months ago I started a hiking group in which all hikes and walks are transit accessible and I…read morepurchased a couple of books of local walking and hiking trails for inspiration. It was in one of my books in which I learned about the Fraser Foreshore Park trail, and I planned a walk with my hiking group in October. The trail is a flat, easy trail along the Fraser River (ideal for people with mobility problems), and according to the book, it is 8km round trip and takes around 2.5 to 3 hours. However, despite walking at a slow, relaxed pace and stopping to take photos, the walk only took two hours. While it was a nice walk, I didn't find it particularly interesting and would prefer to try new trails before walking along this trail again. The trail is very transit accessible, with the #116 bus from Edmonds or Metrotown Station stopping minutes from the beginning of the trailhead on Boundary Road, but with the bus running only every half an hour, it's a bit of a pain to catch and what would be less than a ten minute drive ends up being a half an hour transit journey for me. Other things to note: within the park is a playground and picnic tables, as well as washrooms. But there are no washrooms at the beginning of the trail at Boundary, so if you need to use the bathroom at the beginning of the walk, you have to use the nearby gas station.

I think I should write my review based on 2 factors to give a balanced opinion…read more 1) The Facility - It is a big fenced-in off-leash park in the middle of the West End within walking distance for most West End and Coal Harbour residents. For the most part , it is covered with gravel which is great because it drains and does not create messes. There is big patch of bare sandy spot which cause dust clouds when dogs roll over them and it turns into muddy puddles when it rains. 2) People - For the most part, I like the dog owners who share the park. However, there are a significant number of them (through observation over the past 6 months) who do not respect the residents around the park, other dog park visitors nor have any common sense. Many of the dog owners go there, let their dogs loose, talk to their friends, smoke cigarettes and don't pay much attention to their dogs. As such, barking went uncontrolled (causing nuisance to neighbours), defecation was not cleaned up (non-courtesy acts to other park visitors), unwelcomed canine behaviours was not discouraged (potential bodily harm and serious conflicts). I used to take my dog there in mid morning (around 9-10 am) and usually noticed the same visitors. My last time I went there during this hour was when another dog held my dog at his neck. Although the other dog was not biting down but you could tell that it was not a friendly act and my dog was making yelping noises. I tried to separate them but the owner of the other dog did nothing and continued yapping with her friends there. I started taking pictures with my phone as evidence and only then she mumbled "if you can't keep your dog away you shouldn't take your dog to a dog park". I have not been back to the park since at the same hours but I am considering going back just to get the tag number of that dog if I see it again with its owner and send the info including the pictures I took to the City for further actions. I now visit the park either Sunday around 4pm or weekday afternoon around 5-6pm. Awesome and responsible dog owners there.

The paths are almost all flat, easy, wide and well marked. Can be a quite deserted/quiet on weekdays. One thing I don't like about this park is how isolated the main parking lot feels on weekdays. Signs indicate car break-ins are an issue. I don't think I'd feel safe coming alone as a female if it was a weekday or if it wasn't bright. But a very nice and walkable park on bright, sunny days w friends/family.

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