    The path is wide enough for social distancing, lots of garbage cans along the trail and loads of wildlife to see.

    Unfortunately, there are some dog owners that do not control their dogs. A Great Dane attacked my five month old English Bulldog, leaving her with a big gash and leaving me with a vet bill. I understand sometimes dogs have accidents, but this owner, who brings two Great Danes to the park (the one the bit my dog was a brindle color), didn't move a muscle to restrain his dog and didn't care at all that his dog was aggressive. I imagine that dog will injure other dogs in the future, so please beware.

    It was a great place to walk. I don't have a dog, but it was wonderful just to go in and play with the pups in such a wide open space. The walk was nice through the woods too

    Such a great space to take your furry friend. There is a small dog area and a big dog area, each fully fenced in. Cons: Issues with owners picking up after their dogs. There is zero winter maintenance so it gets very icy. Lastly, when everything thaws or it rains there isn't a run off system, so it gets very mucky as well.

    Very nice walk for family and dogs. Paths are somewhat narrow in some areas (compared to other trails), so do not expect a full walk holding hands ;-)

    Absolutely beautiful walking trail through the woods that my dog and I love to stroll down after he gets a chance to trot around in the small dog park.

    Great park. There are trails (on leash) and a fenced off leash area too.

    Moving to Halifax from a much smaller town, with a newly adopted rescue, I was very nervous about finding somewhere safe where he wouldn’t be reactive and be able to have fun and socialize. Well this park ticks EVERY single box. He has made soooo many friends, stopped barking at men there by themselves (previous trauma) and has his own little doggy gang. Great groups of people, and if you go consistently at the same time you’ll make friends too! But you only know each other’s dogs names... such is the way of the dog park.

    It's a nice little loop. I walk it often. I just wish there was more to it.

  • 5/5 alison b. 4 years ago on Google
    A wonderful place to hang out with the pups. Fully fenced in with forested area and a large gravel upper level and agility course! Bags provided and separate small dog section. The only downside is when people bring balls/toys expecting owners to spend their peaceful time chasing their own dog around the whole time if it gets taken, which needs to be expected it will. It is very different when you throw ball one on one vs when you bring it to the park where there are lots of other dogs around. I've seen dogs get aggressive with ball possession, too, so if you come, please consider not bringing toys or bring less expensive balls you are willing to give up.

    The Dog park is great spot. However there's still a significant amount of owners who don't pick up after there dog so watch your step. Poop piles everywhere. Also, there's a significant amount of irresponsible/untrained/uneducated owners. Early Mornings are usually the calmest time to go.

    Its really muddy. People don't tend to pick up after their dogs.
