Acres of trails and partially-fenced dog runs. Running water for thirsty pups. BYOBags.

Big, pretty park in a ravine, with a fenced dog trail. A little less-known than most. Fountains, too, though those are often out of order.

One of the most popular dog spots in the city. Wide beachfront offleash area, decent parking, not as crowded as the Beaches proper.

Riverdale Parks West and East are equally popular, with Cabbagetown dogs hanging out the West side and Riverdale mutts on the East. Someone should write a musical about them.

Though not technically an off-leash park, this is still a fantastic spot for hiking with your leashed dog. There's a small fenced off-leash area near the parking lot.

The T-B Dog Bowl is both the leash-free area and the site of the summertime Dog Bowl Movie Nights.

In summer, unleashed dogs have to stay above the beach fence. In winter, they have free run of the beach!

A good-sized park that uses logs and bushes to mark the off-leash area.

Not the biggest or greenest, but Allan Gardens gets mention because of its huge, weird, acid-dream sculptures. It's also got a separate section for smaller dogs, so your Yorkie won't be intimidated by some bossy Mastiff.
