Fish Creek Provincial Park

Park Overview

Fish Creek Provincial Park, located in south Calgary, is one of North America's largest urban parks and offers an extensive network of trails and designated off-leash areas for dogs and their owners to explore.

This vast park stretches across Calgary's southern edge, encompassing diverse ecosystems including riverfront areas, grasslands, and forested regions. The park's varied landscape provides countless opportunities for dogs to experience different environments and terrains.

The extensive trail system includes both paved and natural pathways, connecting multiple off-leash areas throughout the park. These well-maintained trails accommodate different fitness levels and preferences, from casual walks to more challenging hikes.

The Bow River, which flows through the park, offers designated areas where dogs can safely access the water during warmer months. These spots provide excellent opportunities for water-loving dogs to cool off and play.

As a provincial park, Fish Creek maintains a perfect balance between recreational use and wildlife conservation. Visitors can often spot deer, birds, and other wildlife while following designated trails and respecting protected areas.
