 1. Southland Dog Park

Deerfoot Trail and Southland Drive
Calgary, AB T2J

Category: Dog Parks

4.0 star rating
  2/4/2012

I've been going to Southland Dog Park on and off for years. We'd walk my sister's dog there, and then I started bringing mine once I got her in 2008. I don't live especially close, so it's not a usual spot I'll go to, but occasionally I feel like…More »

 2. Edworthy Park Off-leash Area

Edworthy Street Southwest
Calgary, AB

Category: Dog Parks

4.0 star rating
  2/5/2012 First to Review

When you're driving into Edworthy Park, if you jig to the left instead of jagging to the right, you enter the offleash park area. There are 3 parking lots (that I know of) in case the first one is full. Just keep driving!

There are rarely bags here -…More »

 3. West Hillhurst Off Leash Area

2004 8 Avenue Northwest
Calgary, AB T2N 4J4

  2/13/2012 First to Review

I really liked this off leash park, despite the fact that my dog decided today she was going to exercise her voice and, man, does it ECHO!

Finding parking is a little difficult. We finally parked at the end of 9th Ave NW, at the west end of the park.…More »

 4. Inglewood Off Leash Area

New Street Southeast
Calgary, AB

3.0 star rating
  2/13/2012 First to Review

I was actually trying to find the dog park in Albert Park but we never managed it, so this was one of the next closest according to the City of Calgary website.

Parking is a little tough to find but we finally parked on on New St (Ave?) and that…More »

 5. Auburn Bay Off Leash Park

52 St SE & Auburn Bay Dr SE
Calgary, AB T3M 0R5

Category: Dog Parks

2.0 star rating
  2/20/2012 First to Review

All in all, it's nice to have another fully fenced off leash area in the city. There's a parking lot, which is a bonus so you're not struggling for a spot. It wasn't busy when we happened along, but it was also a bit windy, and muddy as the snow was…More »

 6. Tom Campbell's Hill

25 St. George's Dr. NE
Calgary, AB T2E 5E4

Categories: Pets, Dog Parks

5.0 star rating
  2/20/2012 First to Review

This is one of the best off-leash parks in the city. It's at the top of a hill and affords for amazing views of the city. In the summer, it's lush and green. There's an interpretive exhibit that you can stop off at and learn a little about the…More »

 7. Oakridge Off Leash Park

90 Avenue Southwest & Oakmount Drive Southwest
Calgary, AB T2V

Categories: Dog Parks, Pets

4.0 star rating
  2/21/2012 First to Review

I lived in this area for about 13 years and had NO idea this off leash park was here. It's huge... to the point where it actually extends from 90th Ave to Anderson Road! I was pretty thrilled to check this park out.

It's well-used - there were quite…More »

 8. Calgary Zoo Botanical Garden & Prehistoric Park

1300 Zoo Rd NE
Calgary, AB T2E 7V6
(403) 232-9300

Category: Zoos

4.0 star rating
  2/27/2012

I was born & raised in Calgary so I've been to the zoo many times - however, not as much recently and it's changed a lot since I was a kid. I was especially surprised during my latest visit when I found out that they don't have polar bears anymore.

Calgary, AB T3J 1A9

Categories: Dog Parks, Pets

4.0 star rating
  2/28/2012 First to Review

I really enjoyed my visit to this off-leash area. It's FAR, father than I'd ever go to walk my dog unless I were dropping someone off at the airport. It was actually quite funny because the sound of the planes interested my dog, as she'd never really…More »

 10. Tuscany Off Leash Area

Tuscany Springs Blvd NW
Calgary, AB T3L 2M2

Categories: Pets, Dog Parks

3.0 star rating
  2/28/2012 First to Review

Finding this park, a place to park and getting into the off leash area was a pain. It's completely contained behind residences, there's one entrance but it's through a kids' playground and there are very clear NO DOGS ALLOWED signs all around it, so…More »

Calgary, AB T3E 1P1

Category: Dog Parks

5.0 star rating
  Update - 2/28/2012

Okay, okay - I've done a loop of dog parks in the city. Another 9 this month, to be exact. I've seen them from Tuscany, to Falconridge, to Auburn Bay to Oakridge, and back.

And River Park is so far my favourite in the entire city. Granted, 10 parks…More »
