Tuscany Off-Leash Area Overview
Tuscany's off-leash area, known locally as 12 Mile Coulee, sits just before the road to Stoney Trail South, at the intersection of Tuscany Blvd NW and Scenic Acres Link NW.
The park spans two areas within the community, giving Tuscany residents more than one option depending on which side of the neighbourhood they're starting from.
Its position near the edge of the city, close to Stoney Trail, gives it a more open, less urban feel than off-leash areas closer to Calgary's core.

Wildlife Awareness
- Being at the edge of the city, this area sees more wildlife movement than off-leash spots closer to the core, including deer and coyotes at dawn and dusk
- Keep dogs close and under voice control during those higher-activity windows
Visitor Tips
- Check which of the two areas is closer to your starting point before heading out, since Tuscany is a large community
- Bring water; there's no on-site fountain
- The edge-of-city location means less foot traffic than off-leash areas closer to downtown, a plus for a dog that prefers a quieter visit
Best Times to Visit
- Weekday Mornings: Quiet, minimal crowds
- Weekend Mornings: The busiest window, though still calmer than inner-city parks
- Evenings: A reliable option for nearby residents after work
Safety Guidelines
- Keep dogs under voice control at all times, since the area is unfenced
- Be alert for coyote activity at dawn and dusk, given the park's proximity to open land beyond the city edge
