Open spaces with picnic tables. River runs through here but sadly, we didn't make it that far in. The pup owners we did encounter were friendly and kind. I definitely will be coming back here. It is far from home but on this occasion, it was the relief spot my dog needed before heading to a BBQ nearby. Beautiful spot and very clean. Very green. Lotsa bugs so bring your bugspray! Dogs just make this world better. I love when spaces are made for them.

This place has been a wonderful place to socialize the dog I rescued from the internet. It is…read moreessentially a large gravel covered lot with a few trees and blades of grass that get peed and pooed on every now and then. In season it has a water fountain for you, kids and a ground level spout for your furry one. As to expect there are people who coddle their dogs a little too much and pick them up extremely often who are likely broadcasting that they helicopter parent their children as well. But for the most part the dogs are allowed to go free and when good owners are around you can tell that the dogs pretty much police themselves. My dog has not only socialized well in the parks friendly atmosphere but met some great friends that he can play and wrestle with and tire himself out for good value on my time. It is a hidden gem for anyone who owns a dog downtown and wants them to have to interact with other dogs because it just insn't big enough to hide anywhere. If your dog is in there off leash it will play the sniffing game even if it growls and nips at other dogs most are well mannered enough to walk on or even try again in a few minutes to see if the anti-social dog is ready to come around.. In only three months I have seen mine and other dogs come out of their shells because of this park. Highly recommend if the pits are too far of a drive or walk.

A bit far from home for my regular, daily hikes but would return if in the area and would recommend. There was a Porta potty, large garbage for #2 doggie drop off, parking lot and the whole area was clean and well maintained. Note : some elevation exists which I loved for a semi work out but others with knee issues, never know. FYI

Great dog park. Huge, many different beautiful and relaxing trails to take. Peak times are the…read moreafternoons on weekends - it can get really busy and you'll end up parking behind a line of cars on the side of Conroy road. Regardless, the experience of enjoying a walk in and around the woods with your canine best friend is well worth it. Of course, no matter what dog park you go to there will always be people who aren't sensible and have problematic dogs that shouldn't be there - but the great thing is, you just keep on walking down a different trail, instead of having to leave the whole park. The Pit is a very accepting place - all breeds welcomed, you won't get avoided or scowled at for bringing your bully breed. So many different breeds that you'll see every time you go - today I saw a Cane Corso, Newfie, a couple Vizslas and a Chow Chow - not very common breeds around here! Overall, excellent place, well maintained, clean and just a great location. Strongly recommended if you have a social dog that loves to go for a nice run!

There's free parking, the walk is beautiful, and I've never had any problems there. Honestly, it's like Disney for dogs! Bruce Pit est un super endroit pour amener son chien! C'est un grand parc sans laisse où ils peuvent courir et jouer avec d'autres chiens. Le stationnement est gratuit, la marche est très agréable et je n'y ai jamais eu de problème. C'est un peu comme Disney pour les chiens!

Some have signed adoption consent forms promising they won't come here. ? I've yet to have a bad encounter. Most people are friendly. Some not as attentive as others, granted. Why be on your phone in here the whole time? All the dogs are adorable and make my day. It's beautiful here. I've added tons of photos. Just bring your purse with you. No valuables left in car. Leash your dog to and from the parking lot as the road/highway nearby is merciless if your unleashed dog goes after something that way. It's a dirt lot so I drive in and out slowly as to not create huge dust storms. There is a large garbage bin up front. There is also a single, large porta potty, thankfully, after the long walks but bring your own hand sanitizer. And doggie poop bags.

There is fencing separating the park from the Catholic school on the east and north sides. I tend to visit on weekdays during the day, and more often than not - it's me and the dogs. The poopiness of the park is fantastic, as in it's not a concern. Maybe because it's a quiet dog spot? The relatively new Albion-Heatherington Recreation Centre sits on Heatherington Park grounds. My kids love the splash pad in the summer months - keeping them active and cooled down. Great way to spend a hot afternoon with the kids and the price is hard to beat (free). The splash pad usually opens the first week of June.

This is a great place to take fido to run around to his/her hearts content, but the area is not enclosed, so make sure your dog has a good return first. Bronson avenue is close enough to provide a threat to the wayward dog. In the summer there are excellent opportunities for poochies to get wet and disgusting - if Brewer's pond doesnt do the trick, there is always the Rideau River.

It has a huge fenced in area where dogs can go off leash. It also has 2 baseball diamonds, a basketball court, a playground with swings and play structures, a splash pad, some open green space, and some wooded areas along a trail. Some of the trail is paved and some of it is unpaved. It's about 1.5 kilometres to circle the whole park. There are 2 separate parking lots connected to the park. One is off Island Park Drive and the other is off Sebring Avenue. It's a nice place right in the city, but when you're in the park you feel like you've escaped the hustle and bustle of the city ;)

There are also benches, but no picnic tables. There's a little gazebo that provides shade but no chairs or tables underneath, I guess you have to bring your own. Street parking only. There's no signage to say it's Evergreen Park, which I thought was a bit odd, but this was the second park in the area that I saw within a few weeks with missing signage. Maybe someone stole the sign and/or it was in the process of being replaced when I was there.
