Rundle Off-Leash Area Overview
The Rundle off-leash area (designation RUN-001) sits in the Rundle community, an established NE Calgary neighbourhood (annexed 1961, formally established 1973, population around 10,545). The site sits along Rundleridge Dr NE and Rundlefield Cr NE, close to 16 Ave NE and 52 St NE.
It sits right next to the Marlborough off-leash area — the two are close enough that many owners treat a visit as one extended outing rather than two separate trips.
Rundle CTrain station is a short distance away, making this one of the more transit-accessible off-leash options in the NE quadrant for owners without a vehicle.
