Everett Crowley Park — Attraction in Vancouver

This is a dog focused review of Everett Crowley park.

Popularity: 5/5 The park has a number of short trails and most of them allow dogs to be off leash (off leash trails are clearly marked on maps in the park and signs). It’s a hugely popular area for off leash dog walking so you will usually come across plenty of other dogs on your walk here. Occasionally it can feel a bit crowded in certain parts of the park where dogs like to play and their owners like to hang around, but the park is large enough that you can always move away to a quieter, less busy area id preferred. If your pup loves meeting and playing with other doggos, then this is the perfect place for them!

Activities: 4/5 It’s primarily a park where you can walk your dog off leash but there are also some open areas along the off leash paths that are perfect for a game of fetch. Due to the popularity of the park with dog owners, there is also plenty of opportunity for your dog to meet other dogs and play with them. You can also bike with your dog on the trails.

Views: 3/5 This park doesn’t have any impressive views of landscape or natural features but walking through the trails and the forest is beautiful and relaxing.

Comfort: 5/5 This is a great park to go for a relaxing walk with your pup. There are also a few spots with benches, large boulders or logs where you can comfortably sit.

Safety: 5/5 This is one of the safest places you can take your dog on a off leash walk. It is away and fairly isolated from any roads and there is no dangerous terrain such as steep cliffs. I also have not seen any wildlife that may pose a threat to dogs. Most of the people there are also dog owners so it’s a great place to take your puppy off leash without worrying about them causing any trouble.

Accessibility: 5/5 Close to the city and plenty of free parking near the park including a dedicated parking lot and lots of free street parking.

Overall this is one of the best parks in Vancouver to take your dog for a relaxing walk. Easily accessible, plenty of other dogs and very safe since most people who use this park are also dog owners. I highly recommend this park to people who are just beginning to introduce off leash hiking to...

Good for dogs and kids. Smaller trails to walk around in. The park right now is not 'nice' bec it's being rehabilitated. They are planting evergreens now. So there will be loads of wood chips around and areas you will see lots of dead trees. Watch for your dog, they might eat those.

BUT if you go to the north part there will be a steeper and smaller downhill path towards the road.

Dog park at top with off leash and other trails with leash on. There is a water bowl but no faucet for water. There is marsh that looks like a pond. Lots of ducks when we went there. Don't feed wildlife sign is up. There is mud so be prepared when rain prior cz dogs will want to bathe themselves in it.

So far we went around the longest and steepest route..took us 45mins of leisurely strolling, taking lots of pics, talking to ducks, talking to dogs, pics of robins...

There is also no parking specifically for the park. You need to park around the area.

-1 just bec there it's too small therefore, no washroom or water for your dogs. But it's just a...

A great off leash park, several large walking loops very little incline but there are few short hilly areas. The main gravel loops are all off leash, and there are some mulch chip trails that are leash required. There is no water facilities in this park so you will need to bring in your water, but during hot months considerate owners leave jugs of water near the parking lot in case your dogs get dehydrated. The parking lot and to the park trail is a short leashed walk. It might be best to leash from the vehicle as the parking lot is not fenced and faces Kerr which can be quite busy and vehicles tend to be quite fast on this strip due to the hill. Better safe than sorry. Once in the park dogs can have a carefree time roaming, very safe and have rarely encountered any aggressive dogs at this park. This park is mainly for walking, there is a little stumped and trunks area where dogs can jump and play a bit, but there is no really large running area for...
