LFM has 8 safe and friendly areas for you and your dog`s enjoyment
Our Parks Etobicoke Valley has the distinct character of a naturalized area and is promoted as “a walk on the wild side” to bring out the true sense of primal curiosity in your dog. Etobicoke Valley has a full scope of wildlife ranging from deer, fox, beavers, muskrats, coyotes, birds, and fish; and lush foliage and fruit trees (including poison ivy and stinging nettles). It’s quite popular for our canine friends to romp together in this natural park setting to expel some energy and get a little dirty! When the snow falls, it blows from all directions creating dunes and new pathways for romping. Dig out your long pants, rubber boots and whistle and get ready for adventure – gear up and join the fun! Garnetwood is a 1.5 acre, fully fenced Leash-Free Zone, nestled in a larger public park. Garnetwood features stately evergreens that provide shade in the summer and wind protection in winter. This Leash-Free Zone has ample parking and a public restroom (seasonal) across Burnhamthorpe Road in Fleetwood Park. Garnetwood is fully lighted in summer months to 11:00 PM, so is ideal for an after-work visit. Chain link fence provides a safe off-leash experience for dogs of all sizes. A Small Dog Park is available for your little dog`s enjoyment! Jack Darling Leash-Free Zone boasts a full 22 acres for you and your dog(s) to explore together. Peel Region who owns the property and leases it back to the City, has spared no expense in designing, developing and building this “living roof” on the existing water reservoir and treatment plants. Chain link fencing secures the perimeter, encloses the draining area, and separates the toboggan hill in the winter months. The entire area has been terraced with limestone paved pathways and solid cement boundary slabs that double as seating and a fun tiered “trail” for some adventurous pups. A water tap to the east of the toboggan hill offers fresh drinking water for your dog(s) during the warmer months. A terrific park to enjoy while exercising your best friend(s)! Leash-Free Zone on scenic Lake Ontario with a surrounding pedestrian path, dual in-and-out gates and wheelchair accessibility. New chain link perimeter fencing keeps all breeds and sizes in the off-leash zone. The perfect park for a full stretch run, Lakeside offers running drinking water in warmer months. This park also offers year- round restroom facilities and parking making it an ideal destination. A neighbourhood favourite, Parkway Belt Leash-Free Zone is located at the south end of the Paramount Trail just north of Eglinton Ave and just west of Hwy 403. In the park you will find ample parking and a paved pathway that leads to the Leash-Free Zone. Parkway Belt has chain-link fencing which secures the entire perimeter, a double-gated entranceway and a glass-sided shelter from wind and rain. This spacious 3.2-acre knoll remains quite dry most of the year due to the elevated, sloping terrain and its windy exposure. It provides a safe, non-crowded environment for your dog(s) to run, play, socialize, or just explore the park off leash. Note there is no lighting for night use, nor is there a source of drinking water nearby, so please bring your own as needed.
