Rotary Park, near Lemoine’s Point in Kingston
Sent in by Sandra: I recently visited the designated off-leash dog-park at the Rotary Park. It featured a nice large fenced open area, and a generous fenced wooded area with paths. Bring your own poop bag and water (although other friendly visitors shared their water with my dog). There seemed to be quite a few regulars there- (I’m new to the dog park scene myself) and everyone was very friendly, including the people. There are a few benches and picnic tables for owners to rest on, and there is lots of available parking. There isn’t a separate small and large dog area.
Near the ball diamonds off Ravenscliffe Road (west of OPP station).
Fully fenced, some benches, lots of trees, nice pond for swimming. Small dog/puppy area. The pond shoreline is a little mucky (clay), and there is no fence to keep dogs away from the pond (pond itself is within fenced area), so don’t go if you don’t want a wet, mucky (and really happy) dog!
Lots of parking.
Not sure if year-round as it looks like the Rotary Park area may be closed in winter.
East end of Tally Ho Drive View map »
This park is actually in Dundas, ON (not Hamilton) but got classified under Hamilton dog parks because of its close proximity. Turn on to Overfield from Governor’s Road and right onto Tally Ho Drive at the end of Overfield. The park entrance is to your left. There is parking for 4 or 5 cars by the entrance, additional cars can park on the street.
***THIS IS NOT A LEASH FREE PARK! IT’S A NICE PLACE TO TAKE YOUR DOG FOR A WALK ON LEASH. PLEASE RESPECT THIS FOR THE SAKE OF WILDLIFE. YOU WOULDN’T WANT A BEAR CHASING AROUND YOUR DOGS RIGHT? WELL, DEERS AND OTHER WILDLIFE DON’T WANT TO BE CHASED AROUND BY DOGS. A STARTLED DEER CAN BREAK A LEG AS IT RUNS AWAY – WITH A BROKEN LEG IT DIES A PAINFUL DEATH IN A FEW DAYS. SO PLEASE, LEASH YOUR DOGS IN THIS PARK.*** FURTHER COMMENTS FOR THIS PARK WILL NOT BE POSTED THANKS TO PEOPLE WHO WANT NOTHING BUT ARGUE AND BLAME EVERYBODY ELSE.
End of Dartnell Road, next to the SPCA View map »
Follow Dartnell Road until you get to the SPCA on the left at the very end of the road. The dog park is on your left.
This park is adjacent to the Hamilton Burlington SPCA. I forgot my camera when I was here so sorry, no pictures.
The park has a fenced in area (left of the gate) and a more grassy larger part (right of the gate). I stayed in the fenced in flat part (I was in a hurry) but I was told that the other side of the park has water where dogs can swim.
You can visit the SPCA while you’re in the area and maybe come home with a new dog! My 2nd dog, Olive, is from here and I know you’ve all heard it before but it’s definitely true: adopted dogs are full of love and gratitude!
Hanlon Rd by Kortright Rd. (Hanlon Hydro Corridor) View map »
The off leash dog park in Guelph is located on the corner of the Hanlon Parkway (Hwy 6) and Kortright. No membership is necessary, everyone is welcome, however there are no poop bags available so bring your own. There is lots of parking available.
The park is fenced with 2 ponds for swimming (one is controlled by the city so there’s not always water in it). The park is in a very natural setting, and there are gravel paths as well as dirt paths and dirt paths to walk through the forest. There are no benches but lots of big boulders.
Main Street South and Maple Ave View map »
Park entrance is on Main St. South, just south of Maple Avenue.
This is a nice, clean dog park in Georgetown, maybe a little too small given the large open space around it. I got the feeling that most people and dogs who come here regularly know each other so my new face was a bit out of the picture but not in a bad way; the people were really friendly.
The gates are in excellent condition and so is the fence. A good example that if something is well built and properly used it will stay in good condition forever. There are 2 sets of benches inside the park, poop bags are available and there is also a bulletin board where I learned that a voluntary membership of $20 per year is suggested. Money well spent. Portable toilets are outside the park.
I am used to taking my dog all over the place so we didn’t stay inside the park for long and went to explore the rest of Cedarvale Park. What a gorgeous place! My favorite part is the creek that is perfect for dogs: it’s clean and not too deep. There is also a playground and one large and 3 smaller soccer fields. The grass looked like as if they were preparing for the world cup:)
The leash free park is maintained by the Halton Hills Dog Owners Group, the same organization behind the Acton dog park project.
