Barnet Marine Park

One of the most beautiful parks in Lower Mainland. Minutes away from city. Good for water sports, picnics, swimming, walking, barbecuing, or just relaxing. Designated sand pit are nice for toddlers and younger kids. Cold showers, lots of shade are cherry on top on scorching sunny days. Pretty huge park so finding spot is easy. But parking is challenging so early morning arrival is recommended.

I like to take my dogs here for walks as they can roam free and I can get a little exercise too. The park is split into no dogs / dogs on leash and dogs off leash. It’s nice to find some ocean side in this area. Lots of parking and not too crowded during the times I have been there.

Gorgeous spot at sunset! Nice picnic areas and a decent-sized off-leash park. There was a pervasive smell of chemicals... not sure if that was the industrial areas nearby or not. But it looked beautiful!

Park is located right close to main highway. Parking is the challenge. There are two parking lots close to the beach & park. Cars are almost double than parking spots. We almost move around 3-4 rounds & then found the tight spot. Walking is around 400 meter from the parking. Best thing is slope is made to carry any rolling cart upto beach. Washrooms are available close to beach. Foot Cleaning showers are also available outside of washrooms. It’s a sandy normal beach with lots of ducks . Good spot like any other beach for picnic & family time.

Amazing park with lots of natural beauty. However, this park should be visited in summers in order to have more options in leisure activities. Still not bad enough to walk during winters.

Good parking lot. Can get busy on weekends. Great walk along the water with areas for fishing, swimming and pets to go off leash. Great location to crab as well. Lots of families enjoying BBQs here!

Love this place!! Came here on Sunday August long weekend. Arrived at 1030am and the parking lot was full. However we were able to get parking in the overflow lot on the other side of the highway. By 11am, both lots were full. When we left at 330pm, parking lots were still full with people circling for a parking spot. It's a 5min walk down to the beach and we saw lots of people with wagons. It's a steep downhill and uphill back to parking. There is a concrete pathway. Stroller accessible for those with babies. There were washrooms and outdoor shower/foot washing station. Despite full parking lots, there was space to find a place. Grassy shaded areas under the trees, sandy/rock beach and bbq picnic areas. Roped off area for swimming.

Thoroughly enjoyed the first visit and photo hike at this fabulous waterfront park. At low tide, you can walk to the sandy end of the western-most beach. There’s an Off leash dog area — and there are ’no dog picnic zones’, too. Beautiful views to Deep Cove and Belcarra. Plenty of picnic tables and benches. Great Facilities. Well Maintained. Loved it. Highly recommend.

Great park for a picnic /bbq/ beach day with family and friends. The beach is mostly rocky , don't forget water shoes if you want to go for a dip.

Awesome off leash dog park where you can walk a ways. Minimal access to the water so you can avoid a wet dog if you want to, or wash them off before you get back to the car. Lots of garbage cans, water available from a stream runoff, and there’s even out houses.
