Terrain: A large park overlooking the ravine.

Safety: Fully fenced.

Water: Water fountain with dog bowl available seasonally.

Tips: The off-leash area was very icy when we went but should be much nicer in the spring. Plenty of room to run and lots of nice dogs to play with.

Terrain: Situated on Lake Ontario, this area features a mixture of sandy beach and well-treed terrain.

Safety: Fenced on the north side, bordered by the lake. Open on the eastern-most part by the parking lot, but you should have no worries about your dog escaping.

Water: Not sure (other than the lake).

Tips: Washrooms open seasonally. It can get quite a bit chillier along the lakeside, so dress appropriately in cold weather.

Terrain: A fair-sized off-leash area in a larger park. Mostly dirt with some mature trees.

Safety: Fully fenced.

Water: None.

Tips: The park is located on the north side of Burnhamthorpe right next to the Sheridan Nursuries. Due to the terrain, it can get quite messy after appreciable rainfall or in the early spring when the ground is thawing, so bring some towels for the car.

Rating:  

Edit: After visiting the park today, I adjusted the rating to a 3/5 due to the poor drainage in the park which leads to muddy and/or icy conditions.
Thanks to Michael for the tip!

Terrain: Situated in a beautiful ravine, there is one year-round off leash area, and a seasonal, snow-fenced area that is open from November to April.

Safety: Year-round area is full fenced in, seasonal area has two openings in the snow fence.

Water: None.

Tips: You can park on the side streets to the west of the park or at the arena. Not knowing exactly where the park was, we parked at a pay parking site at Bathurst and Heathdale and walked through the surrounding neighbourhood, which boasts some great architecture that spans from Georgian to metal-clad moderns.
