Willow Park Off-Leash Area Overview
Willow Park Off-Leash Area sits at 735 Willacy Drive SE, serving the established inner-city community of Willow Park in southeast Calgary.
This is a fully fenced off-leash area, giving owners a contained space to let a dog run without worrying about a busy nearby street or an unreliable recall.
Willow Park is its own distinct community and park, worth noting clearly since it's easy to confuse with Wolf Willow Off-Leash Dog Park, a separate, newer development elsewhere in southeast Calgary with a similar-sounding name. If you're looking for the fully fenced 9-acre site with agility equipment at Wolf Creek Way, that's Wolf Willow, not this park.
