Parks · Marpole, Vancouver
A riverside City of Vancouver park with rolling lawns, boardwalks over tidal marsh and views of the Fraser River, featuring a large designated off-leash dog area. Its mix of open grass and gravel paths makes it one of the city's most spacious official dog off-leash destinations.
Big skies, river views and a huge designated off-leash zone — the kind of park dogs and their humans both want to linger in.
The City of Vancouver's official park listing confirms the west side of Fraser River Park is off leash all year, all day, while the east side is off leash Oct 1 – Apr 30 and on leash May 1 – Sep 30; the riparian area is on leash at all times. Vancouver Park Board by-laws require dogs to be leashed outside designated off-leash areas and under control at all times. No drinking water is provided, so bring your own.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
