Off Leash Park Sites
Edmonton has over 40 sites where your dog can run and play without having you on the other end of the leash. You too, can get physical and emotional benefits from exercise and by socializing with other dog people.
Some off leash areas are in river valley parks, some are on undeveloped land, still others are in neighbourhood parks. All sites have boundaries. Area maps with boundaries are posted at each site.

Before you take your dog to an off leash site:
- License your dog.
- Have your dog vaccinated.
- Make sure your dog obeys your voice commands immediately.
- Remember to bring your pooper scooper!
At an off leash site:
- Look out for other users. The City has a multi-use policy, so expect to share off leash sites with people that don't bring dogs.
- Keep your dog within your sight.
- Have your leash always ready, even in off leash areas.
- Remember to use your pooper scooper!
- Bear in mind Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw C13145 and Parkland Bylaw C2202
