Kids and Dogs in the City

Charleson Park

If you were going to rate parks in Vancouver, Charleson Park, may win the most underrated award. But what Charleson Park lacks in notoriety it makes up for in offerings for the entire family including your dog. With an off-leash dog area for your four legged friend to romp....you can let your mutt run wild while you and the kiddos session the playground.

The backdrop of False Creek's shining glass buildings contrasted with the towering peaks of the Lions let everyone know why this city is called one of the most majestic urban environments in the world. Even if you don't have kids our dogs you can still stroll with a warm drink in your hand by the water and enjoy yourself. Take a moment to explore one of Vancouver's lesser known green spaces.
