 Miller Avenue Off Leash Dog Park
North west corner of Roddic Rd. and Miller Ave. View map »
Between Warden and Woodbine, just south of the 407.
This park has a large paved parking lot, which is great. There are double gates by the entry for safety and poop bags as well and a bunch of rules posted plus a garbage bin for non-poop and three large bins for poop - great! The park was very busy on this sunny saturday morning when we were there but most people were just sitting around and I didn't get a very cheerful vibe - but nothing bad either. To my surprise there was an agility training area at the back. It sure has seen better days but despite the weathered conditions there is nothing unsafe about it for the dogs and they had a great time chasing each other around the obstacles. The ground is mostly mulch and grass, clean of garbage. There are lots of benches - some are even sheltered for rain and these areas are sitting on an elevated deck so they are mud free when it rains. Overall it seems that people are trying hard to maintain the park and make it nice as well as useful and it's almost there. A few more volunteer hands and a little more funding could turn this park from B to A+. (The Totoredaca park in Mississauga is a very similar concept but more established - maybe get some ideas from them) http://dogs.distinct.ca/index.php

It doesn't have to be an "official" off-leash park, any dog friendly area has its place on our website. If you feel comfortable taking your dog there and have good experiences then we want to hear about the place! Thank you all for the updates.
