Cambrian Heights Area 1 Off-Leash Area Overview
Cambrian Heights Area 1 sits along 10 St NW near Cumberland Dr NW and Cornwallis Dr NW, right next to the Queens Park Village community. It's essentially a large open field with one side left unfenced, giving dogs plenty of room to run while still having some boundary structure.
Parking here is street-only — there's no dedicated lot, so plan to find a spot on the surrounding residential streets.
