one of my favourite dog parks! it is secure & has multiple areas including an space for reactive dogs. there’s always many dogs here so it’s my go to for meeting new dogs- it’s not too crowded though! i think it’s important to note that the majority of these dogs are medium-large breeds (which in my experience are all pretty well behaved). it has a really nice swimming area. overall, this is definitely one of my go to dogs parks, totally recommend!🐾❤️

I like the proximity to water and the many garbage bins but that is all I like about this dog park. The parking lot is horrible and not even close to big enough. More than 90% of the dogs are really big every time I visit. The people there are the worst though. They do not react at all when their massive dogs jump up in my face, which happens every single visit. Not even once in my 5 visits has anyone so much as said no or down never mind doing anything to correct the behaviour or apologize. It is the worst dog park in Calgary if you are hoping for responsible owners who clean up after their dogs and demand good behaviour. Also, it’s so close to the highway it’s crazy loud and there is no shade until you get all the way to the water. The parking lot smells like pee all year round. Not a pleasant experience.
