Barkley Dog Park - Coyote warning sign. Watch for coyote carrying box marked ACME... and other delightful quips.

Situated in an industrial area of north Leduc, it's an oasis. Access is a bit sudden and you need…read moreto watch for the sign, (great sign too), as it is only a narrow paved lane to get to the gravel parking area. Such a quiet spot on the weekend when we visited! Marsh birds, and only one other couple and their dogs, although there were 4 vehicles... The park was quite clean and well picked up, although we always pick up trash etc when we go to a park and try to leave it cleaner than when we came. Only picked up 4 petrified poops, and a small trash bag of plastics and cigarette butts. Smoking in dry grass?! Come on folks. And you brought it in, you carry out your butts?! The walking areas are grassed, mowed & level, although it is a marshland, so there are some areas subject to mud, soft spots etc. Lots of variety of grasses, low shrubs and reefs/water for the pups to sniff and explore. It is not very treed, so if sun is your nemesis, wear a hat if it's sunny out. A nice loop, in a little valley, but it was a calm day so can't say if the wind gets going. It is fenced on 3 sides, but not designed as an off leash park, definitely not secure. There are garbage bins, benches, picnic tables and a poop bag dispenser sponsored by Bone & Biscuit at the parking area, but nothing around the far side of the pond, so be prepared. There are no human toilet facilities, (at least in April 2021 when we visited), again, be prepared. Look forward to visiting next time we are in the area.

This is a little off-leash park that many people might not know about unless they seek out the dog…read morepark locations in Edmonton. The Belgravia Off Leash area is of course located in the community of Belgravia and along Saskatchewan Drive. The official boundary is stated as "Saskatchewan Drive top of bank from University Avenue south to the west side of a tree stand across from the intersection at 202 Saskatchewan Drive South and the lower trail to the footbridge." It is a long narrow piece of park with beautiful views of the river valley. From a lookout spot you can sit on one of the benches and look out over the Equine Centre, Fox Drive, the Valley Zoo and more! It isn't a hugely popular off-leash area only because a lot of people do not know about it so it isn't as busy with dogs. If you like taking your dogs to off-leash areas you should definitely check this one out!

BEWARE: This is usually a great park to walk dogs in, with generally respectful owners and…read morefriendly dogs. However, there is a 50ish year old couple - woman, 5'6", dark red dyed shoulder length hair, medium weight, no glasses; man, older, short hair, medium build, 5'11", some partial facial hair (?) - who were walking 3 German-shepherd type dogs at 6:45 PM on Sunday October 20, so at dusk/near dark. They walked straight toward us, not offering any warning and then allowed/?encouraged one of their dogs (all 3 were off - leash) to attack our 8 month old puppy, who was on the leash, and did little/nothing to stop it. A second of their dogs tried to get in on the beating. My puppy cried out and yelped but was on the leash. I got their dog off mine with my cane and told them, in no uncertain terms, to put theirs on leashes or to not walk them in an off-leash dog park. Not only were they non apologetic but were, in fact, very threatening towards me after the incident. Clearly, this type of episode has happened before, which is no doubt why they walk the dogs near dark, and intimidate any victims by bullying them. If you see them, avoid them at all costs or carry /use dog spray for your own safety and for that of your dog.

A nice public park with picnic shelters which you can rent from the city. The pavillion is…read moreexcellently well maintained with washrooms, rooms for activities and rent and lots of open grassy area for activities. There's even a small park for children, decent parking, and it is located very close to the river if you wanted to go for a nice walk on the paths. It is also walking distance from downtown. There is a skating rink in the winter (which I've not visited as most of my visits have been in the spring/fall/summer) but the space is lovely for a picnic or other summer activities. A smaller park, it is often less busy than other more well-known Edmonton parks in the downtown accessible area.

A beautiful place to stop by and enjoy the river valley in the summer! Lots of trails to go for a…read morewalk/run down. In the winter, there's a skating rink where speed skaters go to practice. The ice is fairly well maintained. This year they added in the 400m Freezeway, which is an awesome starter project. The loop is still fairly short, but lots of fun to skate! There are slight slopes which make it fun, but also a little scary for newer skaters. The ice is rough. Very rough. So be careful! The areas with the lights are very pretty and are a perfect place to snap a picture. I'm really excited about this project and hope they expand it in future years! There's lots of parking to be found here, which makes it super convenient to visit. A great place to head for some free fun, a workout, or even a date!
