David Douglas Park — Attraction in Vancouver

Off leash dogs kinda ruin it for everyone else. I love this park but It does however suffer from the same issues we have all over society. About 50% of the people that come here follow the rules.

I love this place! It has this gorgeous little forest around the back of it. It looks like it's just a sports field looking at it until you get back there and realize there's trails! Sometimes parking near the area you want to be as difficult because it is a rather popular place for a sports events. Otherwise there's plenty of parking. And not only that whenever I go the bathrooms are usually open! That's something that's hard to find at a lot of the other parks. A lot of parks keep their bathrooms closed and for someone who's handicapped like me that's a real plus to know I can go there and trust that the bathrooms will be open when I...
