Dog parks in Vancouver.

Here is Vancouver BC we are blessed with great weather all year round (its just a rumour that it rains here) and walking is more than a pastime and just short of a sport for some especially those with k9 friends.

For the most part Vancouverites really take care to pick up the poo, socialize and watch out for other peoples pooches as well as their own here. There are several parks that offer a confirmed timetable of coincidental meetings of those with leashes in hand. Its a nice way to socialize with other pet owners, get out of the house and get some excercise for both you and your dog.

The Vancouver Parks Board has some excellent info on available dog parks and most if not all of those are listed here as well.
We are lucky enough to enjoy the parks while other folks are freezing in parts of Canada. We get the cherry blossoms budding out very early and boots and scarf weather doesn't come along until December usually so enjoy the efforts of the parks that the City of Vancouver really does a great job of maintaining.
Don't forget to bring the poop bags!
