Rules
Drinking Alcohol At Parks
You're Allowed to Drink Alcohol in Many Parks,
But Not Everywhere in the Parks!
In all 47 Parks in Vancouver where drinking is permitted, there are areas that still remain off limits to people consuming alcohol.
We don’t want you to get written up by a Ranger for this potential misunderstanding.
Please, refer below to “Where Drinking Alcohol is Never Allowed” section, if you are seeking clarification about what areas in the permitted Parks remain restricted to drinking alcohol.
Warning:
Parks are not Beaches. Beaches are not Parks
All 7 Beaches in Vancouver that have had drinking permitted -only from June to the end of September- are all adjacent to Parks where drinking is permitted year round.
We don’t want you to get written up by a ranger for this potential misunderstanding. Please review the below section for a better understanding of the areas where drinking is and is not permitted.
