Leashless

Shortlist

All-weather dog parks in Metro Vancouver

31 of the region's 193 off-leash areas have wood chips, gravel, sand or turf underfoot. 126 more don't have the surface recorded yet, so this list may grow. Less mud in the wet months. This goes by the surface the city records for the off-leash area itself, not its paths.
