Top Rated Parks to Visit in Whistler

"Along the Sea to Sky just outside of Whistler (about 15 minutes by car) you will find Brandywine falls. It is just 5 minutes to get to the falls viewpoint. It is less than one-kilometer walk and is mostly flat!"

"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."

"Home to recreation in Whistler, Lost Lake Park offers plenty of photo opportunities year-round. In the winter, the park runs as a cross-country and snowshoe paradise. Stop by the PassivHaus for rentals and an entry ticket, and you can spend the day exploring the deep forest trails, mountain views, and lakeside vistas."

"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."

"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."

"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)."

"The Four Seasons' SIDECUT Modern Steak+Bar has a fresh approach to "mountain lodge decor". Stone, leather and wood elements fill the space, but the accents of vibrant mosaic tiles and a rich color palette add a liveliness. SIDECUT's crowning glory (when it comes to atmosphere and decor) is a year-round terrace complete with fire pit that's perfect to sit around post-dinner."

"If meat is where it’s at, head to the Upper Village and into the Four Seasons, slopeside on Blackcomb Mountain. Sidecut serves up epic portions of perfectly grilled meat on its 1,800 degree infrared grill. Guests can customize sides and sauces, or choose from other meat or fish dishes, or even a ‘beetroot’ Wellington vegetarian option."

"Named after the curvature on a ski or snowboard, Sidecut is a modern steakhouse with a cozy setting. Start with the breakfast buffet or relax by the fireplace after a day on the slopes. Sidecut offers signature rubs and sauces for steaks, including Lemon Buddha, Blueberry Hill, Herbal Ember and Red Herron."

"When you're in the mood for casual and comforting, Creekbread is the place to go. These organic pizzas are loaded with local and seasonal ingredients, including free range chicken and nitrate-free meats. After your pizza has been adorned with tasty ingredients, it put into a wood-fired, clay oven and cooked to perfection."

"If you ask a local where to get pizza, they'll tell you that Creekbread is the place to go. This casual eatery is perfect for families or dining with friends post-ski. These organic pizzas are loaded with local and seasonal ingredients, including free range chicken and nitrate-free meats."

"Known for their sesame seed crust, Fat Tony's is the place to grab a late night slice after a night out. The beef and blue cheese is popular, and there’s lots of vegan and vegetarian options too."

"Avalanche Pizza is definitely one of the more casual Whistler restaurants that I am recommending. It is centrally located in the middle of the walking zone. Like most pizza restaurants, Avalanche Pizza is self serve."

"Avalanche has been serving pan style pizza since 2000 using house-made, organic dough. Grab a slice as you wander the village, or consider dinner sorted with delivery to your door."

"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."

"See some of the best stone art in Whistler at Fathom Stone Art Gallery. Each sculpture hand picks stones from the islands of British Columbia, southeast Alaska and the Canadian Rockies, and creates unique treasures for guests to purchase. Stone types include marble, jade, serpentine, limestone and quartz, to name a few."

"The view of Black Tusk is as quintessential Whistler as it gets. This remnant of a stratovolcano has served as a culturally significant landmark for thousands of years, in the Squamish language it is called t’ak‘t’ak mu’yin tl’a in7in’a’xe7en, “Landing Place of the Thunderbird”. Views from the top of whistler mountain reveal black tusk."

"Look to your left as you drive into Whistler and you will see Black Tusk, the last remaining part of a dormant volcano. Although its black peak can be seen from just about anywhere in Whistler, there are a few spots that provide a better view. The peak of Whistler and the Callaghan Valley are just to name a few."

"The Black Tusk Gallery features native artworks from the Northwest coast. Items for sale include traditional masks, paddles, bowls, totem poles and jewelry. Local Expert tip: Whistler, BC CA V0N 1B4"
