    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.

    It is a nice place for city apartment dwellers to see a few man made lakes and bike paths. Plenty…read moreof parking. But I have found it always too busy, too many people. Some people fishing. What is worse is the goose poop that is everywhere, and you cannot avoid stepping on it. Forget about sitting on the grass! The city should intervene. Lots of people honking their car horns to lock their doors which takes away from the ambience (people are very inconsiderate these days). For a better experience get out of the city.

    Hermitage Park is an urban outdoor lover's paradise. The paved trail that runs through it is…read moreperfect for biking, hiking, and rollerblading. Dog lovers will enjoy the hug off-leash area. The park is picturesque, with several man-made lakes, including one stocked with fish. It is also close to the North Saskatchewan River. As Jeanette pointed out, there are a lot of geese here, so in some places you have to watch where you step -- but I personally think Canada geese area beautiful and it is wonderful to see so many of them at once. Hermitage is also home to the memorial for the tornado that took place in 1987. If you head south in Hermitage, you end up passing the Rundle Golf Course and eventually ending up in Rundle Park itself. To the north is a steep hill worth the climb for the incredible view. Unless you live in the north, Hermitage can be a bit of a trek to get to, but it is worth the effort.
