The 12 Best Off-Leash Dog Parks in Edmonton

Edmonton's flagship off-leash destination — an expansive off-leash area of meadow and multi-use trails on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan, with river access where dogs love to swim and a 262 m footbridge over to Jan Reimer Park. Unfenced and natural, so solid recall is a must.

A west-side river-valley park with a popular off-leash area and a stretch of beach where dogs swim in the North Saskatchewan near the boat launch — one of the better spots to cool off in summer. Open green space and shaded trees on the north bank, near Buena Vista. Not fully fenced, so watch the current and check signage for the designated zones.

A large off-leash meadow on the north bank of the river, with wide gravel and paved paths, benches and washrooms near the meadow. Connects into the wider river-valley trail network beside Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Hawrelak. Unfenced — best for confident, social dogs.

A shaded ravine with a granular creekside path that's a long-standing local favourite for off-leash walks, threaded with footbridges and interconnected trails. Off-leash is along the designated granular ravine path only; unfenced and shared with joggers and cyclists, so keep dogs close.

A big northeast river-valley area where the off-leash zone follows the lower gravel river trail through Rundle and Capilano parks, with shoreline access and river views. Unfenced — the landscaped picnic-and-shelter areas are excluded, so check signage for the boundary.

A river-valley park on the south bank with an off-leash area and extensive walking, cycling and cross-country ski trails that connect into the wider river-valley network. Unfenced and shared with cyclists and runners; trails can get muddy.

A large, varied off-leash space with open fields, wooded trails, footbridges, hills and a small lake — note the lake is signed no-swimming and no-boating. Family amenities (playground, spray park, climbing wall, picnic sites) sit nearby. Unfenced, so keep recall sharp near the water and roads.

A northeast river-valley park in a natural wetland setting, with natural trails winding through grassy fields and wooded slopes, river access and non-motorized boating. Unfenced and good for year-round walks — but check the City off-leash page first, as the off-leash area was recently under construction.

Downtown's established fenced dog park at the northwest corner of 105 Street and 102 Avenue (10230 105 Street NW) — one of the City's City-funded fenced off-leash areas, with dog-friendly surfacing and trash receptacles. Compact and secure, ideal for nearby apartment dogs.

A fully lit and fenced dog run in O-day'min Park (formerly Warehouse Park) — the newest enclosed off-leash space downtown, opened with the park on November 7, 2025. Dogs of all sizes and breeds welcome.

A fully enclosed off-leash area fenced after dogs ran onto nearby roads and rail lines, with a separate fenced section for small and shy dogs. A good pick for dogs still learning recall — but confirm it's open, as it has recently been under construction.

A large fully fenced off-leash park (about 80,000 sq ft) built by Brookfield Residential in the southeast Orchards community, with a mix of crushed-limestone and grass surfaces plus benches, picnic tables, trash cans and bag dispensers. Free, public and a solid secure option for southeast dogs.
