et your pup roam free safely in Edmonton’s greenspaces!
Edmonton offers over 50 designated off‑leash dog areas across the city, covering parks, ravines and river valley trails. Whether your dog loves a wide open field, some wooded trails or fenced‑in safety, there are great options.
Buena Vista Park (North bank of the river)
Located at 13210 Buena Vista Road, this park features a large off‑leash meadow plus trails along the river valley.
Why go: Great mix of open field for running + wooded trails for sniffing.
Tip: As it’s natural terrain, prepare for uneven surfaces and maybe some mud after rain.
Terwillegar Park Off‑Leash Area (Southwest)
Located around 10 Rabbit Hill Rd NW, this expansive park offers river‑valley access, long walks, and wide fields.
Why go: Ideal for high‑energy dogs who need space to roam and explore.
Tip: Because it’s large and not fully fenced, your dog should have reliable recall before heading out.
Lauderdale Dog Park / Grand Trunk Off Leash Dog Park (North Edmonton)
Located near 127 Ave & 113 A St NW, this area is fenced and includes separate sections for small and shy dogs.
Why go: Good for social dogs, or when you want a contained space.
Tip: Because it’s fenced and divided, it’s less suited for dogs who need trail‑walking more than fetch/play.
Rules & Responsible Use
Dogs must be licensed and properly vaccinated to use off‑leash areas.
When entering or leaving the off‑leash zone, the dog must be on a leash.
Owners must keep their dog under control, be aware of other park users and wildlife.
Clean up after your dog — waste bags and bins are often provided, but you must do your part.
Some off‑leash areas are not fenced — meaning dogs need a good recall and owners need to be extra vigilant.
