This park is great. You can bring your dog here for a walk. There’s an off leash area for running and swimming. If you don’t have a dog, this is still a great place for anyone. There is also a community centre.

It is a charming oasis. The peaceful lake and green trails offer a wonderful break from the city life. It's great to see locals enjoying picnics and sports in this natural setting. A must-visit for its beauty and community vibe!

Amazing peaceful and serene lake park in the middle of the bustling City of Vancouver. Amazing facilities here, I loved the ice rink too.

Lovely park for a walk. So many dogs and usually lots of nice jam sessions. Good foods and the farmers market is terrific.

Trout Lake is always a good time. Lots of activity, trails, a little beach, good grass area. Lots to see and do. The Farmers Market is great as well!

Enjoy an amazing walk with your furry friend in this pet friendly park where you can leave your pawsome friend unleashed. This place have the perfect view of mountains tress and lake!

Absolutely lovely spot. Playgrounds, baseball diamonds, a Rec centre, an off-leasb dog area, and more! The only thing I wish was that folks would respect the areas where dogs need to be on leash!

Great fishing for the angler in your family world class beach with swimming at the south end, abundant aquatic life and waterfoul, fine dining at the south end serves classic dishes like American style bratwurst, fine chopped steak on brioche, and sauteed Julien potatoe, attentive staff gathers your empty bottles asking no tips.a great family outing!

It 's spring time and you should visit this beautiful park. There are all sorts of activities.
The driveway was alittle bit muddy and you should have good shoes.

Beautiful park. Full of lovely trees. Big inexpensive. There's also a lake, many were swimming in it. I'm not sure I would have done that, it's beautiful to look. Good park to take a bike ride through.

Playground structure is great for older kids up to 12. Young ones too are accommodated. Beautiful view. Lots of shaded trees. Hard to socially distance. It can get quite busy, even when kids are in school. Pro d days for kids are packed there and so is break. Nevertheless, most people are respectful to give you space. The kids on the other hand will be kids and it's hard for them to contain their excitement, so if you dont want your child near other kids, not the best option.

Nice place, but way too crowded, since it's in tbe middle of the city. And don't let the name fool you, there are no trouts in it.

Perfect place to bring your family and have a picnic. I love seeing the dogs playing by the lake. The playground has a great structure, the kids love playing there, and there is also a public washroom nearby the mini beach.

Trout lake is such a sweet little park in the city. If you come early there is always a ton of parking. Lovely to walk around and take photos at. Public washrooms are available in the community center as well as by the beach. Pre covid there were some fun farmers market events too!

Highly recommended hitting up seasons bakery nearby and enjoying it in this park.

Great trail to jog around the park. Playground for the kids, and a dog park for the pet in the family. I come here in the autumn to see the maple trees change colours

This is a perfect park for running, though during rains you could be full of slime.
The landscape from the mountains are really awesome and you can enjoy peaceful moments here.

My family really enjoys a nice stroll here around the lake on a mid-October day! Gorgeous view in the fall (when the leaves turn different colors)! So colorful! A very nice panoramic view! There are some nice maple trees! My mom picked up some beautiful maple leaves from the ground! There is also a nice playground next to Trout Lake Beach. My baby enjoyed playing there!

What's not to love when you are outside in a park walking around a lake with many dogs happily playing?
12 November 2019 19:34
This park is large enough for students of Vancouver Elementary School to run cross country together. The parking lot doesn't seem to be wide.
09 November 2019 17:44
This place is great for dogs and owners, throwing the ball or swimming in the lake, meeting people with their dogs and having a nice social hour or two. Also great for picnics and going to Trout Lake Market or maybe using the community center. But be warned as there are many varied options the parking lot fills up fairly quickly on a nice day. Enjoy a nice walk around the lake. To end the day.

We come here a lot to play with our son. Park is clean and very beautiful. Awesome in summer when the market is on too!
02 November 2019 18:34
It's a awsome park kept really clean and always lots of beautiful women there. Great hang out for kids and adults

Went for a walk and followed an ethereal collective of musicians into Trout Lake park. In a dreamlike state, they collected passerbys to follow them to a small covering under the trees to play us exactly one song. A beautiful introduction to fall, surrounded by beauty and music and nature.

Always well maintained and clean. Great view of the mountains in the background as well as the off leash dog park.

John Hendry Park is a great park to go for a walk, have a picnic, there's even a small lake nearby. Lots of green space to accommodate many groups and peoples. Parking is difficult to find around the area, mostly because there are parking restrictions, and residence.

Large groups can be here, but if groups are over 100 people, you need a permit to reserve a space at the park, or you risk losing your space if someone else has reserved the same area that you have. Just a heads up! Go to the Park Board to reserve your space if you have large gatherings for picnics, etc.

Used to live a block away. Just dropped by to eat my lunch and read a couple of chapters from a book. It was as I always remembered, peaceful and healing.

The farmers market on Saturday is the most wholesome way to spend a morning. Beautiful nature and chill vibes. Always people around any time of year.
29 September 2019 14:34
Beautiful place to walk around the lake. Take my Jack Russell Terrier for a walk. Gr8 to have our Grand sons Birthday party in the park.
28 September 2019 15:30
This is a great park with paths around the lake, and two playgrounds with a bathroom close to each - helpful when you're there with kids.

Couldn’t be a better dog park. Love this place for family get togethers and bbqs, too. Lots of picnic tables or grassy spots to spread a blanket in the shade. Two big playgrounds plus a small sandy beach for kids to play on. Concession has some great ice cream selections.
26 September 2019 17:01
Beautiful park with two fantastic playgrounds, both a new one, made predominantly of natural materials, and an older one that is much quieter. With a beautiful walking path, a lake and tons of trees to climb, it's an awesome place to take kids!
20 September 2019 13:13
Great family park and dog walking spot. The North half is a dog off - leash area. There is a swimming beach at the South end and a dog beach at the North end.
09 September 2019 2:08
The Trout Lake Community Center has changing rooms and other amenities, making staying all day at the lake very manageable. The grounds ate beautifully maintained.
31 August 2019 1:53
Nice place to hang out or for dating but not a huge place for outdoor activities such as volleyball or frisbee. Not many BBQ spots but we found a good one near the parking entrance which was great. Reservation is required for the general picnic area and be sure to bright your table cloth or a plastic one cause obviously, this place is too leisure to have people care about cleaning up after themselves.
21 August 2019 13:13
Beautiful and accessible park. Two playgrounds for kids that have washrooms nearby. Some dog owners will let their dogs off leash in all areas of the park so if you are really nervous around dogs you need to be aware of that. To be honest, I would rather let my dog run around Everett Crowley Park.
13 August 2019 10:15
Basketball court was great. Free community private showers open from 9am. Gym showers with a pass open at 6am. Parking stalls are very small to park an RV or decent sized truck without obstructing people next to you; however there's lane parking on the side and it's shaded under the trees there also. No overnight parking.
05 August 2019 10:51
Cant go wrong with trout lake. The bike lanes are kept pretty clean and good ground maintenance. Sometimes the trees along the path are a hit overgrown but it's a good place to be.

I grew up about 1 mile from this park which is also where trout lake is, although all we ever caught was ugly catfish.

Today they have a very popular farmer's market every Saturday from I believe 9am to 2 pm. Which goes from I think May to October.

You can also bring your dog here cause there is an area for them and a lot of people bring their dogs.

A lot of people swim in Trout lake in the summer but it's had problems in the past with being too dirty but i haven't heard anything lately.
A great place for picnics, jogging and riding your bike!
12 July 2019 17:55
May to September on the weekends and sometimes busy evenings the concession is open. Also watch for fire spinners and free events
04 July 2019 17:29
One of my favorite park in BC, hope communities will host more events, parties and festivals, all city vibes, connect and bring people together in harmony. Plant more fruits and flowers to eat, because someone's always hungry.
30 June 2019 17:24
Pretty cool park but there is bird poo everywhere! Not sure if there is anything that can be done about it but means it's near impossible to walk around bare foot. The area undercover with the tables is great for group events. We even saw a deer walking through while we were there!
12 June 2019 17:33
Well rounded little park, lake, lots of grassy area and a cool walking and biking trail that goes around the lake as well! If you feel you want a little break from this city, this is a nice calm space for that. Swimming in the lake isn’t recommended, its not one of those lakes!
25 May 2019 16:09
Beautiful place. Lots of hidden paths along the walk. The swampy areas along the way are beautiful. All of the willow trees are great for climbing, and there are a few playgrounds nearby.
