Elgin Park
Elgin Park is in our opinion, one of the best on-leash walking areas in South Surrey, with shaded forest trails, open grassy paths, and riverside routes that change with the seasons.
The entire park is designated on-leash.
Maintained pathways, easy parking, garbage stations and access to fresh water beside the rowing house make Elgin especially desirable as a walking destination. And handy for the human element in the pack, it has washrooms in 2 separate locations!
We often see seals popping the heads up to watch us pass , while eagles, hawks, ducks, and other wildlife are very common throughout the park. We once even spotted a beaver and her baby. I'm not sure who was more excited, us or the dogs!
Be sure not to miss the stunning lupin display in late May / early June.
Campbell Valley
At 1,500 acres, Campbell Valley Regional Park gives all of us one of the largest and most varied trail systems in South Langley. Multiple access points make it easy to change routes and explore different areas of the park throughout the year. This has remained one of our favorite parks for several years.
The park trails are fully on-leash and has a great mix of meadow walks, shaded forest trails, interior ravine paths, and peaceful creekside routes.
Be sure to remain on the pedestrian only trails (of which there are many). Many horses spook at the sight of dogs particularly if the dogs are excited. Horses legally have the right-of-way on all of the horse trails.
It is especially practical for dog walks, with excellent parking, garbage stations, and washroom facilities throughout the park. The combination of open and shaded trails makes dog walking a pleasure in every season, and it has the added bonus of a wide variety of birds and wildlife.
Sunnyside Urban Forest
This park is especially great on those hot summer days as tall trees provide shade through most of the forest. This same tree canopy makes it one of our favourite parks on the rainy winter days. It has a good network of maintained trails with several different access points, making it easy to change routes and keep walks interesting. It is a good idea to grab one of the maps at the main entrance as it is surprisingly easy to get completely lost and many a time we have directed wandering souls to the parking lot.
Sunnyside Acres is fully designated on-leash though you will come across off-leash dogs. Most folks will leash their dogs when they see you and a friendly request to do so generally works. The winding paths, shaded forest sections, and natural surroundings make it a great choice for dogs that enjoy exploring at a steady pace without too much chaos around them.
One downside is that the park is not ideal during strong windstorms, as some older trees in the forest have root issues and can occasionally come down during severe weather. Outside of windy conditions though, Sunnyside Acres remains one of the best forest walking areas in the White Rock and South Surrey area.
