"A park that is located in the middle of nowhere. It is Excellence for you and your dog to walk around off leash. There is no specific Trail for you to walk everywhere is quite interconnected. you just keep going as you see a path and just keep walking until you're done.

Everyone is a friendly on the way and most people are dog lovers you don't have to worry. However you got to make sure that your dog is fine walking without your control on a leash. Quite a sufficient space for parking ur vehicle at the entrance"

"This review is catered towards dog owners looking to take their pup to North 40 Park Reserve.

Popularity: 4/5
This is a popular area for dog owners to take their dog for some off leash time, so you will likely come across many other dogs during your visit. This park is massive compared to most other off leash dog parks, with many smaller trails and less frequented sections, so despite the popularity, it never feels crowded.

Activities: 4/5
There are plenty of things for you and your pup to do at North 40. You can go for a relaxing walk on the main walking paths, explore the myriad of smaller trails that go through the woodlands and grassy fields, let your dog play with other dogs, or simply find a spot to sit and relax. The entire park reserve also has some interesting history which you can learn about via a few information signs in the park. During winter and spring, this is also a great spot to watch for bald eagles as you can easily spot them nesting in the trees.

Views: 3/5
The park consists of mostly grassy fields and patches of woodlands. No spectacular views but the scenery is still quite nice in late spring, summer and early autumn when there is lots of foliage.

Comfort: 4/5
The walking paths are flat and easy. There are multiple benches throughout the area and lots of clearings to sit and relax. The only downside is there can be lots of mosquitoes in the summer months.

Safety: 4/5
North 40 park reserve is massive enough that you can feel safe about letting your dog run off leash even if they like to wander a bit far from you. Almost everyone that goes here is also a dog owner. I have never seen any potentially dangerous wildlife here but there are bald eagles in the area so it may not be suitable for very small dogs. The park reserve is not fenced in, relying mostly on natural barriers and there is a road and parking lot at the entrance so you may want to be cautious and keep your dog on leash in that area.

Accessibility: 5/5
Easy to reach by car and plenty of free parking along the road leading up to the entrance. The park is wheel chair accessible.

North 40 Park Reserve is one of the largest off leash dog areas in the Metro Vancouver area. It is similar in style to Tynehead dog park and Derby Reach dog off leash area, where it is essentially a large off leash dog park with walking trails. Personally I love this style of dog park because your dog can play with other dogs while you guys walk and explore the off leash area. It also gives you the option and space to move on if your dog doesn’t get along with a particular dog. North 40 has the additional perks of having some interesting history, lots of open space, and the opportunity to see bald eagles, making it one of my favourites!"

"North 40 Park Reserve. I think I saw it once online and it looked like a large dog-walking park. Then I took a closer look recently when choosing a place to visit on the weekend.
It’s big! Upon entering there is a long street to park vehicles. There are a few maps that show the origin, history, and layout. It’s very cool to see the old map and then walk the streets of this once residential area.
There are many people who come here to walk dogs. If you like dogs, eagles, planes, and/or history, you’ll like this park. Eagles are everywhere in the trees and circling above. Planes are constantly landing and taking off from Boundary Bay Airport across the way. History is everywhere in the posted signs, the streets you walk on, and the remnants of homes. Concrete pads, small ditches, decorative ditch walls, and stepping bridges, are all overgrown with grass. In some areas of the streets, mother nature breaks through to reclaim the land. There is also one structure still standing that was the base for the boilers to provide heat.
Keep an eye out for an older gentleman riding a bicycle. He stopped to chat with us. He is one of the former residents! He had some great stories and said he bikes through the park every day. He will be happy to share his memories with you. If you want to venture off the streets (and one sidewalk!) bring boots as the grassy areas can get very soft and muddy.
