New Brighton Park and Rec Review

Great fenced area to unleash dog and plenty of benches to enjoy the view of water and mountains. It also have an outdoor swimming pool and public washroom. It's pretty secluded and tranquil.

Beautiful location for a barbecue. Best to make plans to arrive early as there are few parking spots.

Nice little quiet park to enjoy some decent views, not the best but def nice.

Great place for a picnic and let the little kids play on the field or playground

Oh boy I did so many things here when I was younger

Well designed park, very pleasing view of the cargo ship from the neat beach.

This is great park. Huge enclosed dog area, and a couple of little beaches too.

There's a nice view on the water and of the Iron workers bridge. It would be nice if they planted some flowers here but it's not bad. There's an enclosed dog park outdoor pool, and if you're lucky you'll see some large crabs down in the water.

Lovely scenic getaway IN the city! Great place for a picnic.

Wonderful Park. Perfect for family gatherings and BBQs. Great for walking dogs, flying kites, or running. There is a nice pool to cool off in the summer heat as well!!. Parking can be difficult with two small lots and street parking fills up very quickly. I would recommend arriving no later than 10:00 a.m on weekends and sunny days.

This beach has 3 fire pits for log fires. Good for s'mores. First come first serve, bring your logs and utensils etc axes, fire starters etc.

Stunning boat loading views with mountains background.

Cool hidden place...great for locals...kids and family friendly...nice view, nice pool..... awesome urban Park!

Great beach side park to come with you family to either picnic or to see the sunset

Sea side park good for family and has amazing open to sky swimming pool.

On leash and off leach fields for dogs/playing, picnic tables, swing sets, two play grounds, paths for walking, beaches, a dock, and an outdoor pool open in the summer time. There's trees and picnic tables so it's a comfy little place. Best part - there's info posted here and there for the shoreline habitat restoration project for this area. City planners, I think coastguard, and the indigenous communities which this land was taken from all work together to do the right thing. Super fun place and looks well-taken care of :)

Love the park. It has everything you need. Trails, a pool, playground for the little ones plenty of trees for shade and picnic tables the only bigger here is parking. So if you plan to be out there on a nice sunny weekend.. plan to be there early or better yet carpool

Great waterfront park, with an off-leash dog compound, and outdoor pool open during the summer months. Free parking!

Came across this park on a frosty November morning fantastic place to take the dog for a walk or just get out and admire the mountain View's along the waterfront

Possibly as beautiful as every other park in this beautiful city.... Possibly.

The park could use some work. Really showing it's age.

Nice out of the way park. Giant enclosed area for dogs is great. Parking can be hard to find on sunny summer days.

Great spot for some space to play with family and friends. A bit like the park in the Simpsons with the grain shipping terminal behind it:)

My new favourite park to bring my dog and it's here favourite too. It's hard to find enclosed grass parks in the city and I can tell how much more she enjoys in. It is a HUGE area for the dogs. Most dogs are very well behaved and most owners keep a good eye on their dogs. Haven't had any issues yet. Bonus of a nice view of the mountains as well. The park can get quite muddy if it's rains so prepare for your dog to get dirty a few days after a rain but it's worth it to have her get good exercise and enjoy herself. If your dog doesn't need to be fenced in there's also a little beach area they can go for a swim in

Nice park, great views, good off leash area for dogs

Wide open, beautiful views, a playground and a huge fenced dog park. Plus a great public pool in the summer months. A gem within the city!

Love this place. Wish there was ocean access but chill place to have a picnic or visit other people s dogs.

Has a bit of everything you want. Grassy area for barbeque & picnics, open field, outdoor pool, a beach, and a leash free area for those with dogs.

Beautiful park with the port views, has a swimming pool for everyone! Parking can get filled really quickly though, especially on long weekends!

Just a lovely little park with nice views and never crowded. Great fenced-in dog run also.

Great place to visit in the summer. There is a pool here as well. Make sure to come early though as parking is somewhat limited and it does get busy. Beautiful views of the ocean and North shore mountains can be enjoyed from the park. Definitiely a spot for the family.

Nice park, not huge but clean and a lot quieter than the surrounding area. not a lot of parking especially in summer but easy to walk to.

Very large park with a gated dog park section, lovely water views, a pool in the summer, and wide open spaces.

Great views, usually quiet. Outdoor pool. Good playground and big open grass sports field

One of my favourite parks in the city for a bbq. Amazing view of the oceans and mountains, park, nice gradual entry pool for the little ones. Only issue is that the restrooms were out of toilet paper all day ( I was there from 9am-7pm) The concession staff told us to call #311 and tell the parks board. Never happened. Other than that, great park.

It's very popular place in the summer. So be there before 10AM to find spot for car and yourselves...

A very under-rated park. It has a pool, off leash area, washrooms, and plenty of open grass space, with amazing views of the north shore.

nice place for a Picknick, lots to see. there is a pool with a grade, is good for little kids, the playground is dated, but still fun and safe for kids.

Love this park it has a nice pool and a dog off leash area,

Best place ever love it big outdoor pool. Behind the PNE.

Feel there should be a section for smaller dogs. The small dogs can often keep up with the big ones but there s many times they get tumbled around quite a bit.It has an amazing view and it s quite large there a couple of trees and a couple of places to sit however there is no water. Quite an oversight.

Absolutely wonderful park, great relaxing time there again and again....

public bathrooms close by, ocean views and tons of space

Beautiful park and amazing location. Parking is extremely limited

Very nice beautiful vew around ,and fresh air .nite time looking more better full()

Very well maintained. HUGE outdoor pool. Right on the beach. Great place.

Nice peaceful location to go for a walk and watch the water. Great dogs only area as well.

One of the best views of Vancouver Harbour and North Vancouver can be found here.

Beautiful view. No issue for parking. Nice place for the picnic

No homeless, a dog park area, no smoking in park and no rain.

It s a nice park with lots of space. The beach is very rocky but the kids love finding the little crabs. The pier is nice and has a good view despite the plentiful industry surrounding the area. The playground seems fine. Lots of picnic benches. The grass and trails are a bit over worn and the only bike racks I saw were outside of the park, not within the park. Haven t tried the pool.

Always looking for great dog parks. Has little beaches for dog swimming, large enclosed off-leash space, big open grassy spaces, and a marvelous (though short) walk/bike trail through thoughtfully curated plantings just on other side of tunnel near the equally interesting nature reclamation project area. All this juxtaposed with massive industrial stuff on the water and the transport trucks as you enter and the railroad tracks... we (dog and self) love it all!

I like walking to New Brighton Park along the rocky creek they built to the South in Creekway Park, accessible from Bridgeway Street North of McGill. New Brighton Park has spectacular views of the North Shore Mountains, Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, downtown Vancouver and more. The dog run is why we go there, it's about a 1 acre mud pit, fun for the dogs but they will need a bath after if it rained recently. There's one of Vancouver's last outdoor pools here, where we used to take the kids. In Summer you will see many large groups of picnickers. Parking here can be very difficult to find in Summer! Be patient and prepare for a potentially long walk with all your gear.

Inner city park with dated facilities including washrooms, out door and wading pool. Nice BBQs and off leash areas. Tiny beach, hard to get to and small parking lot. Reclaimed mud flats that are under work may make it more interesting

nice park with some nice views, but parking is a disaster on a weekend or busy day! if you want to check it out, during the week is a better bet.

Been coming here for a decade, beautiful park with glorious view of the mountains and the seas! There's also a playground. Great place to bring your dog if you have one! They have a huge area for the dogs to play.

On a Beautiful fall day, the view is breathtaking, the floating leaves add magic, and there are a variety of natural flora to discover-

Mice open park lots of green space and right by the ocean

It is a beautiful park with a great view for picnic. There is a public swimming pool.

Love the space. Wish the parking was easier to locate. Also wish that people would be responsible and courteous by leashing their dogs in the on leash areas.

A fairly quiet park popular for dog walkers, beach picnics and with a few benches and BBQ stations for the summer. There's a nice outdoor pool to use, and a small playground. The drainage in the grassy area is quite poor, so expect mud if it's rained in the past week, and they've removed the tennis courts to put an off limits wildlife area in (still under construction). Great view of the Indian arm, and it's nice to watch the tugs go by from the small pier at the east end.
