John Hendry Park (Trout Lake Park)

It's a beautiful park near the city, offering serene views and a peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're looking to go for a gentle walk, have a picnic, or just enjoy some quiet time by the water, this place is perfect. The trails are well-maintained and provide easy access to enjoy the natural beauty. It's also a great spot to relax near the water and a very good place for the kids to play in the playground nearby. The park is clean and well cared for, making it an ideal location for family outings or a solo adventure. It's definitely worth a visit if you like the outdoors and want to reconnect with nature.

This is such a nice park, met a good friend here today there was lots of parking available. All the cherry blossoms were coming out, the back side of the lake where the boardwalks used to be were a bit flooded still and the whole park was still kinda muddy, I noticed lots of people not picking up after there dogs. That's really annoying! There is a sandy beach on far right side and trails that go all the way around with lots of fields nice view of the mountains. This place definitely takes me back. Spent lots of time here with good friends.

Lovely lake and Park. Lots of dogs running around and last night there was a big band concert. Listening from afar I was sure it was recording because the singer sounded authentic. Amazing show!

Very nice city park, larger than others seen in the area, and with a very good Saturday morning farmers market. Enjoyable to walk around.

A little oasis in the city! It is so relaxing to sit on a bench or grass here! Also a great place for a quick walk or walking dogs. The trail is about 1.2-1.5 k for a loop. Lots happening throughout a year… encountered a clothing market and a dog costume contest one time.

This lake is fantastic for a good walk. You can walk the path around the whole lake in about 15-20 min. Also loved the kids park with swings. Very family friendly. Lots of dogs and people of all different walks of life. Stroller friendly as well. Will be back year round!

Very lovely and great place to spend the day. The beach is nice and we did see some people swimming but the park itself it perfect for a leisurely stroll. We saw a lot of happy dogs with their humans. Daughter and I were at the farmers market and there were a lot of interesting stalls and food trucks. The port a potties near the farmers market are really indescribably bad. No paper, water is non functional and potty super dirty. Hand sanitizer is provided. A better option are the clean and bountiful washrooms at the arena which is a ten minute walk through the park. It’s best to plan ahead so you are in close proximity to these nice facilities when the need arises, but, if you gotta go…..

An urban oasis and one of my favorite places to walk through. There is a loop that goes through the park, the pond, a community center and on Saturdays in spring/summer, the farmers market. They often have events like live music in the evenings in summer. It's fun to check out the different people gathering. There is also a concession and beach, as well as a kids playground and bathrooms. Only one of the beaches is dog friendly.

This is a famous urban park in Vancouver, and even in Winter it's busy on the weekends (no swimming!). There's a redevelopment being planned, so it can only get better!
