Charleson Park

A very nice park to view!!! On a sunny day, great photo opportunities!

BEAUTIFUL DOG PARK, just beware of mud. I have only gone on sunny dry days, but even a day or two after rainfall it can get very muddy.
Under the right conditions this park is absolutely lovely. There is a small waterfall, a duckpond, its next to seawall, there are jellybean sculptures and wide open grassy spaces for dogs to run and play.

Probably the best dog Park in the city during summers. It’s not fence din but it’s large and there are lots of playmates. If the summer heat gets too hot there is a waterfall with a small pond for the dogs to wade in. The view is really nice too since either is along the seawall.
The downside is it pretty much can’t be used during winter as it gets super muddy

This is one of my favorite places in Vancouver and probably my favorite park. Great views of the water and downtown plus great people watching. Not a better place for a summer evening picnic or beer. Love that it’s not as crowded as most Vancouver parks.

The views are lovely but if there is even a tiny bit of rain be prepared to be up to your ankles in muck. Poor placement for a dog park! Obviously created by people who don’t have to walk their dogs!

Such a great park. It really doesn’t get any better than this!
I work in the area and I usually spend my sunshiny summer days out here at Charleson Park enjoying the views of our beautiful city, watching the birds and ducks in the pond, seeing the pooches have a great time running around and playing in the water, taking naps on the grass or sitting on one of the hidden benches and reading a book.
We truly are blessed with such great parks along the ocean here in Vancouver and I am so lucky to be able to enjoy this one pretty much daily and am looking forward to the fall when I can see all the leaves change colours and still enjoy everything that this park has to offer.
Beautiful.

The most beautiful urban dog park I have ever been to. Restorative and wide open.

This is my and Polar and Lina’s favourite Dog Park in Vancouver.
Easily accessible by foot via and directly beside the Seawall and by car with 2 HR free parking near by. The dog park is a great wide open space, far away from the road with a fresh water pond and great ocean view. We took a blanket and lazed in the half shade provided by the surrounding trees and enjoyed the chill atmosphere for our dogs to let loose in. Loved that this park has a fresh water swimming spot for the dogs and the body of water separating this park from the Yaletown dog park crew isn’t bad either ;)

Wicked view. Wicked people and dogs about. Dragon boats drumming by. Charleson rocks.
There’s something about walking by the ocean that calms the soul. Night or day, you can’t not smile while walking here. In stark contrast with the Yaletown seawall, the land of dogs dressed in LV with matching prissy fake women, the people here are friendly and actually smile. People are dressed to run, not to show off.
Off leash park is wide and spacious.
Turbo approved.

Cute little park along the water with interesting modern structures for kids to play in, a waterfront walkway, great off leash areas for dogs (enclosed, and away from kids) and a little island-​like peninsula with paths that you can walk to to during low tide.
Views to waterways, Aquabus stops, and organic urban community gardens. Delightful little spot with views to Yaletown and fairly abundant parking nearby.

Beautiful, wide-​open doggie park. Both my dog and me had a great time at Charleson Park.
From the doggie point of view, she had plenty of room to run and play with other friendly dogs. We went to the waterfall section that is off-​leash, and she loved getting into the water.
From a human point of view, the scenery from this park is absolutely gorgeous. Stunning Vancouver skyline across False Creek, there is a small lake and lots of beautiful plants. This is a walk for yourself as well.
Tip: it can get muddy during winter/​fall season, bring your rain-​boots.

A small but sweet park which sits beside False Creek in Vancouver. There is a seawall which connects to Granville Island and Science World. During the days when I worked near this park, I always would eat my lunch and head to this park for a walk. It was a great way to feel relaxed and ready for work after going to this park. This is one of the few parks in Vancouver where you can have an excellent view of the Downtown/​Yaletown highrises.

Still one of my favourite off-​leash parks in the city. The people (and dogs) are nice, and the views to die for. It’s just a short walk from the Olympic Village Canada Line stop!

This park is a beautiful place to get some great pictures when the sun is low in the sky. You’re on the South side of False Creek and the sun reflects off the windows of the Yaletown buildings and they are mirrored in the water.
There are also paths through the park and some very pretty flowers, which I have noticed change with the seasons. There’s a pond where ducks and other water fowl hang out. The seawall goes along this park, but there’s even more to it if you venture off the wall.
One of the main attractions is the off-​leash dog park that is in the centre of this park and viewable from the seawall. It is really well-​used and a popular place to meet other dog owners. Those without a K9 should not shy away from this park, as it has a lot to offer a walker, jogger, gardener and photographer. Or someone just looking for a quiet place to relax.
