Lakeview Off-Leash Area 2 Overview
Lakeview Off-Leash Area 2 (LKV-002) borders North Glenmore Park in the Lakeview community of SW Calgary. It's one of two official off-leash designations serving Lakeview.
Lakeview is nestled between Glenmore Trail SW and Crowchild Trail SW to 37th Street SW, with numerous hiking and cycling trails maintained along the shores of the Glenmore Reservoir between the Weaselhead flats and Glenmore Trail. This off-leash site's proximity to North Glenmore Park means it shares some of that reservoir-adjacent character, with pathway connections into the wider Glenmore green space network.
Note: Lakeview's other official site, Area 1, is a confirmed separate location but its specific address wasn't available at time of writing — it's being tracked down separately.
Lakeview also has a second official site, Lakeview Area 1 (LKV-001), a triangular strip of off-leash space along Glenmore Trail SW at Richard Road SW, south of Lincoln Park and CFB Lincoln Park PMQ, near the Lakeview Drive SW / Lockinvar Road SW edge of the community. It's a separate designation from this Area 2 site.
