Where to Stop Before You Arrive

After a long drive your furry friend is likely feeling a bit restless and ready for a bathroom break. If you are coming from Vancouver and are looking for a place to stop and let your dog stretch their legs before you arrive at your accommodation, consider a detour to Bayly Park. Located in the former Athletes’ Village from the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, this park features a medium size, fenced dog park complete with agility equipment! To get to the park, turn right (east) off the Sea-to-Sky Highway onto Cheakamus Lake Road (across from Function Junction). Follow the road a half kilometer, turn right on Legacy Way, cross the Cheakamus River and the park will be on your right side another half kilometer down the road. Whistler Village is 9km north when you’re ready to leave.

Stopping at this park is also a great opportunity to check out an area of Whistler you may not have seen before. Many of Whistlers’ locals live in the former Athletes Village, and along with the dog park, there is a huge park with sports fields, tennis courts, beach volleyball courts, a BMX track and a community centre.
