Pacific Spirit Regional Park offers dogs and their humans a massive forest escape right next to UBC, with over 70 km of trails. Most northern paths are off-leash, but leash signs can change—so it’s perfect for experienced dog walkers who check as they go.
Pacific Spirit Regional Park | Vancouver BC
It’s one of the most peaceful dog friendly places in the city, and dogs love the damp earth and smells under the cedar canopy. Avoid busy intersections and stick to the wide trails for easier navigation. If you want to explore even more dog-friendly activities, nearby Spanish Banks and UBC Botanical Garden are worth the trip.
