Gold Bar Park

My daughter and I did the MS walk this year (2023) and the park is beautiful that has trails that connect Gold Bar Park to Rundle Park.

Don’t let the drive past the wastewater treatment plant deter you from this park. Once in the parking lot you have access to beautiful trails, both paved and dirt. The autumn views in the park provide a great backdrop for photos, hikes and picnics. Cross the bridge and you’re over in Rundle Park, another worthwhile place to visit.

Beautiful park but too many rambunctious dogs off leach in the on leach areas. I can't walk my little dog there because of this as she's been charged and frightened too many times.

The bridge has a gorgeous view of the river and the city. Also they had various trails around there to enjoy. I went down the river side trail, and it was a spectacular view where you could hear the rushing of the water and tons of wildlife. It has become an area I go to often for walks with my family.

Nearly all of my visits to Gold Bar Park are confined to the off-leash dog trail, which I use a few times per week year-round, so this pertains to the off-leash trail:It's really nice; it has a few picturesque areas, lots of side trails for the dogs to run, and a good variety of wildlife to happen upon. It is a shared use trail so in addition to dogs there will also be people running and cycling on the trail; mutual courtesy is expected.A few notes:- It's not fenced.- There is wildlife in this area: beavers, coyotes, birds of prey, waterfowl, etc.- It is a shared use trail, expect runners, cyclists, and the occasional motorised scooter user, and of course dogs running off leash.- It is unpaved, uneven, and there are some hills. It gets muddy, and it gets icy.- The trail is well sheltered from the wind, which is nice in the winter.

Awesome park to have a cookout or picnic. Lots of tables and spots for large groups

It was a magical hike in winter wonderland throughout the park.Trails where well kept , the scenery was magnificent.Highly recommended!

What a park. Great views. Calm scenery of a river. Best for cycling and small picnic parties.

Visit: May 2023Great park to visit. Lot sof green space, and connects to a lot of other parks such as Capilano Park and Rundle Park.There's a lot of green space, and a very nice Trail that runs by the river. It has a beautiful canopy of trees.There's also a spot that has dedicated washrooms which is nice.
