Meadow Park is a huge recreation area in Whistler that has a hockey rink, huge gym, swimming pool, squash courts, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, basketball courts, ball hockey court and a wonderfully elaborate kids play park. Meadow Park is wonderfully located along the River of Golden Dreams, a cute little, slow, winding river that connects Alta Lake and Green Lake.
Along the River of Golden Dreams you will find impossibly idyllic picnic tables and park benches. Wedge Mountain, Blackcomb Mountain and Whistler Mountain are stretched out before you with the serene river flowing past. The kids play park has a variety of the usual slides and swings, but also a fun water park activated by a hidden button on a metal, ride on blue whale. The button activated two opposing water guns, a little water slide and several fountains. Surrounding the water park are lovely, grass areas for the parents to lay in the sun. There are also several picnic tables between the water park and the rest of the kids area with slides and climbing walls. Adjacent to the kids park is a ball hockey court that doubles as two basketball courts. Next to that are some very nice tennis courts.
