PARKS
ALEX DECOTEAU PARK | 10230 105 STREET NW
The dog park at Alex Decoteau is the best place for your pup to make friends. This park stays busy throughout the day and draws a friendly and welcoming community. Make sure you bring water to keep playtime going strong!
104TH AVENUE OFF-LEASH DOG PARK | 10104 104 AVENUE
This small park next to Roger’s Place is perfect for a quick zoomie sesh. There usually aren’t a lot of dogs around, so we recommend it for the nervous types who don’t like a crowd.
