British Columbia is famous for its stunning scenery, from beautifully wooded
areas, to sparkling lakes and oceanside vistas. It's no wonder dogs love it (and
their people too)! Dog-friendly BC dog parks include
not just the trails meandering through provincial and natural parks, but also
off-leash parks and even dog beaches too. So get out there and have fun!

From Heather - "McDonald Beach is located at
3500 McDonald Rd (McDonald and Grauer Road) in Richmond, BC, right next to the Vancouver International Airport.
It is an easily reachable location that is very dog friendly. McDonald Beach is a long strip
of shoreline that hugs the Fraser River. It provides wooded paths for walking on the colder,
windier days, and for the warmer, sunnier days, there are always people walking up and down
the beach with their dogs. The beach is pretty nice, sandy and rocky as well. I wouldn’t
recommend trying to picnic there, or to sun tan, but its definitely a nice spot for some
doggie swimming! Facilities include dog bags, trails, and a boat launch."

on Ripple Way across from the golf course in Sechelt. This park has trails through old
