West Vancouver - Ambleside Park & Beach

British Columbia - Canada


Ambleside Park and Beach is the most popular recreational area in West Vancouver. It is situated at the eastern end of West Vancouver beginning at the point where the Capilano River flows into Burrard Inlet. The park and beach provide access to activities and facilities for all ages. Picnic areas, playgrounds, outdoor pool, pitch and putt golf course, jogging trails and tracks, playing fields, sailing facilities, concession stand, and a long stretch of beach almost in the shadow of the Lions Gate Bridge make up this popular spot. Easily accessible from Marine Drive and 13th Avenue there is lots of parking most of the time. The popularity of the park does create parking problems on sunny weekends and holidays.
