Shortlist
All-weather dog parks
Off-leash areas with wood chips, gravel, sand or turf underfoot, so less mud in the wet months. Based on the surface the city records for the off-leash area itself, not its paths. 40 parks across 17 communities in BC. This is recorded for 97 of 624 parks, so the list will grow as gaps are filled.
