Dogs

Alpha Lake Park has a recently expanded dog park known as “Arfa Park”, which includes:

a separate dock and swimming area for dogs
an off-leash gravel area, as well as a sand pit for digging. The off-leash area is fenced and gated.

In addition to Alpha Lake Park, the following parks in Whistler have designated off-leash areas:

Rainbow Park
Lost Lake Park
Bayly Park

Off-leash dogs must be in the owner’s control and remain in the off-leash area. Owners must have a leash visible, and leash dogs when entering and exiting off-leash areas. Any dog roaming in the municipality may be seized and impounded at the owner’s expense.

Pick Up Protocol

Pick Up Protocol dog waste photo credit: Justa Jeskova Pick Up Protocol (PUP) Dog owners in Whistler can help turn their pet’s waste into high-quality soil, thanks to a pilot project in Alpha Lake Park and Bayly Park.

Pick Up Protocol (PUP) program provides special compostable dog waste bags, which dog owners can use to pick up their pet’s waste before disposing of them in a marked red PUP bin. The waste collected will be added to Whistler’s composting stream, rather than being shipped as garbage to the landfill. More
