    Clean friendly dog park. Free parking and a few steps away from a beautiful pond. Great walking trails also. Check it out

    Great, clean dog park with friendly dogs and owners. The only issue is that parking to get here can be iffy sometimes (packed).

    Good spacious park with lots of benches. No shade though. First time I took my pup here there were some bad owners whose dogs attacked her and they barely stepped in. She was traumatized since but now we go back sometimes now that she is a grown up shepherd who will defend herself if needed. Trails around the park are better. Gets very muddy in the winter.

    This is a great dog park with lots of friendly dogs. Because it is in the ravine it is protected from the wind so on sunny days it can be quite warm.

    Well sized dog park and leashed dog trail you can walk through after

  • 5/5 Dan L. 6 months ago on Google
    Fantastic and large dog park with multiple areas and entrances. Please remember to put your dogs back on their leashes before leaving this area to enjoy the rest of the park!!!!

    The Earl Bales leash free park is a bit secluded, but it also provides a much bigger space for our furry friends to run. They keep the water fountain outside of the dog park, which helps keep it clean and maintained.

    The park and dog park are very spacious. I personally like how the dog park is covered in grass. The crowd of dogs there were very friendly and our puppy was able to socialize without us having to worry about fights occurring.

    This dog park was pretty spacious with several entrances. They have benches and shelter for shade. Most of the dogs generally hang out in the larger part of the dog park (closest to the parking lot). However, if you need some space or a break, there's another section just further in that is also fenced.

    It is our go to place with my dog. My dog loves running around. I hope there is a separate place for small dogs. Sometimes I don’t feel safe when big dogs are approaching a bit aggressively to my dog. Most of them are so nice though. Just for in case.

  • 4/5 Tal E. 9 months ago on Google
    It’s a very good dog park. Your dog will have a fun time

  • 5/5 C H. 9 months ago on Google
    Great location and lots of room to roam and run. Mucky when wet! Water close by, but not inside the fenced area.

  • 5/5 Shikhar S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little park with lots of dogs always around.

  • 3/5 Mark C. 1 year ago on Google
    I would give this Dog park 5 stars if not for alot of the Karens with their dogs. They are extremely annoying and don't mind their own business. One Karen discriminated our Pomsky because she wanted her do to play only with the same type as her cockapoo. SMH

  • 5/5 Dana H. 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous, secluded dog park. Grassy, nice shady spots, lots of room to run, and shaped like a figure 8, so it's easy to be away from other dogs if need be.

  • 4/5 Farid R. 1 year ago on Google
    A must go place for the BBQ fans! Nice place for family picnics too.

  • 5/5 Richard N. 1 year ago on Google
    Love it here. Very big/spacious . The dogs and people here are very nice and easy to talk with. Very clean. Can get pretty muddy. Also would like to have a dog fountain located inside the area too. Just easy access. Either than that great location

  • 5/5 Joseph A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park with nice trails and open space

  • 5/5 Jojo A. 2 years ago on Google
    Its a huge park, where everyone can enjoy playing sport or just bask in the sun or simply chill out with friends and have barbecues.

  • 4/5 Gihong P. 3 years ago on Google
    My pupper, Berry, loves going to this place !! There is no designated small dog area, but dogs are generally friendly.

  • 4/5 John F. 2 years ago on Google
    Large dog park with a small dog section. Limited shade and seating but generally good condition. Popular. Parking may be difficult, especially on weekends. If parking is not available, consider Sunnybrook Dog Park which has more ample parking east of the West Don River.

    This is an amazing place to go for a hike, a long trek or just for a picnic. It's an awesome place. There's even a beginner's ski hill and a really nice park. I didn't even know this place existed. According to my Fitbit, I walked over 11k steps, did 22 floors and achieved 120 Zone minutes. It was a great cardio workout and when you walk up many of the hills, you'll definitely feel it. You can easily get lost if you don't keep track of where you're going. You're in the midst of a forest so you'll feel away from the city. Great scenery. It's also nice that they have clean and readily accessible washroom facilities ;)

    Good place, lots of parking, probably not enough during the skiing season... Okay during the weekdays though. Could use sidewalks.
