Rainbow Park Rejuvenation – Spring Update
After 30 years as one of Whistler’s most popular destination parks, a refresh of Rainbow Park is underway and it will be closed until June 2024.

The project is on track with a grand opening planned for summer 2024. While the beach and lawn areas of Rainbow Park remain closed this spring, the Valley Trail, dog park and special events area are expected to remain open to the public.
