Alpha Lake Park — Attraction in Whistler Resort Municipality

Yes watch out for the bears but keep an eye out for bear poop! You're more likely to step in it than run into them! Seriously the bears come down here to $hit on the roads and valley trail, its like a toilet for them. I don't blame the bears, we built up a recreational park in their back yard so its only fair they get back at us with that.

Alpha Lake Park has its amazing moments during spring and summer but mother nature does need to get a grip on her meds to keep her mood swings in check. One day its cold and rainy then it will be that way for a week and all of a sudden it'll be sunny and humid, then switch again. So if you're planning a trip up here, look up the weather forecast. Its no fun being here in the rain, it gets swampy and buggy.

We love this park for the enclosed off leash dog park with a separate deck/dock that extends out into the lake for your fur baby to jump in. We have been told that it's ok to go into. I personally would not go into that water. It is shallow and you can see all types of green algae slimy nastiness in there. The park provides free bio degradable dog bags for poop, so there is no excuse not to pick up after your pet and the municipality collects that stuff in bins for compost.

This is a nice place to spend the afternoon, if you have kids, there is a playground, awesomely placed picnic tables and benches for great views of the mountains while you picnic, and this park connects to Pine Point Park which you'll see across the lake next to the private bridge that connects to the lake island. Be careful if you go out that way, the train runs in the afternoon around 4:30pm ish and the tracks are in that area. We come here a lot for the tennis courts which are typically busy, but take a walk around if they are, people here are very nice about not hogging the courts...

We loved Alpha Lake Park! It's a gem! We DID see a smaller Bear and it strolled through and did not bother anybody. It scared me at first, but it seemed to be normal? The park for kids to play on (in my pictures) is awesome 👌. Its very young kid friendly and also older ones too! It's super well built out of large wood logs. The docks are nice to walk down and jump off of, the water is chilly, but refreshing! There is a sand volleyball court on the beach and lots of grassy area. There also is a basketball and tennis court right beside the parking lot. There is a dog 🐕 park too! This location has it all! For young and old! Definitely worth going to. But don't leave garbage around and don't be surprised if you see a bear (but maybe it was just our...

This park was awesome, with lots of full green grass to picnic on and play games. Nice bathrooms with showers on the outside to rinse off in after swimming. The park patrollers were also really nice and pretty laid back when it came to addressing the parks rules on food and drink. Nice trails to walk as well. Make sure to heed warning signs when it comes to swimming in the lake as sometimes the duck poop pollution can be worse at times than others,...
