Top Rated Parks to Visit in Pemberton

"Best way to get there: It’s an easy walk from Nordic, Alta Vista, and Blueberry Hill, and an easy bike ride from almost anywhere in town. There is parking, but it can get busy in the summer months. Why we love it: It’s easy to get to but arguably less popular (read: crowded) than Lost Lake."

"One of summers simplest pleasures is spending a sunny day beside the lake. Whistler has a whole host of amazing lakes and parks, it can be hard to decide on which one to go to!. Lakeside Park in Alta Vista has enough facilities to keep the family entertained all day long."

"What’s a better choice than chilling by the lake and having that therapeutic environment to fight off negative effects?. Lost Lake Park is a serene spot for nature lovers to rock Whistler anytime in the year. When it comes to free things to do in Whistler, external activities should be the first thing springing to your mind, with Lost Lake Park being a haven for outdoor adventures."

"A scenic respite from the main beach area, this dock offers an incredible view of Whistler Mountain. Our minds are hardwired to calm down when looking at water, one of the reasons shots like this are so loved. Go in the early morning to capture that sweet mountain reflection in still water."

"A picnic by the lake should be on everyone’s summer bucket list. You can’t go wrong with spreading out a blanket on the sunny lakeside lawn at Lost Lake. It’s a local favourite and it’s easy to see why."

"Outdoor performance facility, community park, large accessible playground and play area, lawn, ice skating rink in winter. Open daily between dawn and dusk with lights in the bowl until 1 AM from April to November. Skateboards, inline skates, smooth tire bikes (BMX, jump)."

"Close by to Green Lake in the area of Alpine Meadows is Meadow Park. This is a picture perfect location to come and have a picnic, take in the stunning mountain views and relax. It is on the Valley Trail route and sits alongside Alta Creek, synonymous with the River of Golden Dreams."

"As one of the largest skate parks in Canada, the park measures 50,000 square feet full of bowls, ledges and street-style elements. Other features include quarter pipes, a spine, volcano and central pyramid. In addition, BMX riders can test their skills."

Slow down the pace with some serene snow-shoeing, or pick it up in a classically Canadian toboggan sled!. The terrain boasts miles of cross-country skiing trails, baseboarding hills, and perfectly curated adrenaline-filled ski-jumping zones."

"If you want filling comfort food, look no further than Il Caminetto. This Italian eatery serves up very generous servings of pasta, risotto, and other Italian classics like meatballs to name a few along with a great wine list. You can get every pasta split in half here too, so it’s great for sharing."

"Il Caminetto is a contemporary Italian eatery located at 4242 Village Stroll in the heart of Whistler mountain. The restaurant is a subsidiary division of Toptable Group which also manages other BC Canadian favourites such as Blue Water Cafe, Bar Oso and Thierry."

"We love the Old Spaghetti Factory as you know what to expect at any of the locations, the food is always a hit with families and they offer reasonable prices for a family meal with generous portions. We wanted to try out some new restaurants, so we didn’t check out the Old Spaghetti Factory in Whistler on this trip, but I was thankful to have that option of a tried & true favorite that I knew my kids would love and always has a fun atmosphere where any family would feel right at home."

"Casual pasta restaurant where all entrees come with a green salad, sourdough bread, coffee or tea and spumoni ice cream at no additional charge."

"James Stewart Sculpture Gallery is a small gallery with a big impact. Its current exhibition of large, life-like, and finely detailed sculptures of individuals the artist and gallery owner James Stewart met during his travels around the world is creating quite a stir in a town more accustomed to paintings of wild animals and spectacular landscapes. After building a career in Hollywood by creating visual effects for movies such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Shrek 2, James decided to give it all up and devote his time to his art and to enjoying the wild adventures of Whistler."

"As one of the largest skate parks in Canada, the park measures 50,000 square feet full of bowls, ledges and street-style elements. Other features include quarter pipes, a spine, volcano and central pyramid. In addition, BMX riders can test their skills."
