Dog parks in Thunder Bay


Parks are listed in alphabetical order; designated leash free parks * are on top. Maps indicate the exact location of the dog park even within larger parks.

 Thunder Bay Dog Park

North end of Carrick Street. View map »
The park is located on Carrick Street. Directions from the University are: Take Balmoral Street South towards the police station. Make a left on Central Avenue to Carrick Street. Make a LEFT on Carrick street (Kal-Tire is on the corner). The park is located at the end of the street with a gravel parking lot.

The off-leash park has been a great asset to dog owners in the city, as the only area where dogs can run off leash without worry of fines!

The park is not fenced in, but has natural fencing in terms of trees lining both sides. Dogs should have solid recall commands down as dogs can make it past the trees into the industrial area surrounding the park. Be aware that still water from rainwater collects on either side of the park which can be very messy for those dogs prone to water. Again, obedience training can come in quite handy with keeping your dogs clean when at the park!

The park has a pick up after your own pet policy. Please respect the park so we can all enjoy it!

True you can take your dogs there off leash without getting a fine. If the park is left open from the end of Carrick to almost Memorial it will be a good size. However it is a very dirty and unhealthy place to take pets. Everything from glass, needles, toxic waste water running the whole length of the park, it is not mowed or taken care of by the city. It is a disgrace. Now a fence has been put up in the middle of the park to make it worse. If this fence was to keep people on bicycles safe then it is on the wrong side of the park because all the entrances are on the opposite side of the park. If it is to keep dogs out of the swamp and toxic water once again failed in this attempt. Besides the money wasted it serves no purpose. Solution: Buy a roll of red rubber fencing give it to the park goers and we will weave it in and out of the trees to keep the dogs safe. Much cheaper. Stop wasting the Dog Park Budget.

Awful. Too small, unkempt, idiotic size restrictions, rude people, lazy timmies drinkers. we need places where we can walk with our dogs off leash, not just stand around in a circle (and something MUCH bigger than carrick st.)

It doesn't have to be an "official" off-leash park, any dog friendly area has its place on our website. If you feel comfortable taking your dog there and have good experiences then we want to hear about the place! Thank you all for the updates.

Ask your friends to donate to animal rescue organizations and shelters instead of buying you presents for your birthday or for Christmas. Learn more at the Donate to Dogs website.
