Orphan’s Greenspace – Dog Park

A leash free dog park in the city, bigger than Allan Gardens but no segregated area so little dogs must play with the big dogs.
Lots of trees and benches but no water source so remember to bring some.
Covered in wood chips in the summer, the only grass is outside the fence because any grass that was originally here was worn down from constant use.
If your not up for a trip to Cherry Beach leash free dog park, this is a handy alternative for a shorter visit but for longer walks I prefer Cherry Beach where dogs can swim too!
The place can get quite full so not a place for antisocial dogs who need their space.

Oddly placed between two DVP ramps, this off leash dog park is spacious, offers lots of shade and is wood chip based instead of cement and gravel.
There’s only one park for all sized dogs, a picnic table and 3 benches.
I love this dog park but I only wish they installed a water fountain.

My local puppy park! This is a great little park, near the DVP for extra walk action should you like. It is a nice size with a bunch of trees for shelter, a picnic table and a few benches. It could for sure do with some additional dog park features (doggy water fountain, a streetlight, etc) but it does the trick.
There are a great group dogs that go to this park too. A lot of larger dogs too which is great as my husky loves to wrestle.
THINGS TO KNOW
1. There is typically a few dogs in the park.
2. It gets very dark in the autumn before the leaves fall off the trees. Once they are off, you can see again.
3. The park is very muddy in the rain, but no sweat, there is a Pet Value near by with a bath for use.

Today was the greatest day of twenty-​thirteen. Today my best friend, George The Pug Person, was returned to me.
After a tearful and snugly reunion, we harnessed up and trotted our way to Orphan’s Greenspace dog park. This dog park is mostly for the bigger dogs, but my guy’s got swagger.
This park sort of feels like it’s located in the middle of a freeway, but with it’s double-​barreled entry gates, it is totally safe. In the summer it’s mulch bottomed, and there are many picnic tables and benches to rest on. I wouldn’t recommend bringing a snack unless you plan on sharing with some climbing huskies, though.
I plan to spend much of my time here in the coming days.
