Very impressive off-leash area at St. Andrew's Park for doggies!…read moreIn King West where dogs outnumber human children at about 100 to one, the park at Adelaide and Brant Street, behind the Waterworks building, which is Toronto's oldest park, dogs rule the roost! The best part for dogs is the off-leash area, although most of the rest of the park can be enjoyed by dogs as well, but they need to be on-leash. The fenced off playgrounds with the monkey bars are the places where dogs are not allowed, so children only. The off-leash area covers about a quarter of the park area so is quite spacious giving Rover a large area to run around and do laps if you want, and chase a ball around, although they mainly play with each other. There are two entrances with one facing Adelaide and one facing Maude Street. Unfortunately, or fortunately if you like water-cooler chat, there is only one drinking fountain for the dogs and it needs a person to man the valve on the stand to release fresh water into the bowl below for the dogs. There is a bench right in front of that fountain so if you sit there you could be well trained to get up and water the pooches as they come over, which is fun for a while at least. Great place to first, grab a coffee at Impact or the Waterworks, and then socialize with the other dog people and let your dog run around, which is way more fun than simply taking them on a walk with a leash. Highly recommended in the King West area for a fun activity for both people and dogs alike!

I need more hints lol. Hideaway Park is perfectly hidden, hence the name hideaway? Hahaha... but it seems to be a local's favourite. Apparantly, this dog park does not allow professional dog walkers with multiple dogs. I guess that's a good thing. This park is well maintained and is equipped with a water fountain for dogs - very thoughful :D The picnic table is still there. The kids park is still there (attached to dog park but fenced off on the south side). If you have a dog and a kid, it would be perfect :D

It's attached to, but fenced off from a children's playground. They have dog amenities like a fountain, so there's no need to bring your own water when you come here. Because the park is small and my dogs are small, if a larger dog shows up and makes them uncomfortable, it makes for some loud barking. There's a bench to sit on and a picnic table too. It's a cute little oasis in the city.

If it rains or snows, i don't recommend it unless you are prepared to have a muddy pup! Everyone is very friendly (and usually)look after their dog. If you are a first timer bring some poop bags and water, if not im sure the other pet owners have some to spare. :) Also if you are coming north from the 410 prepare to make a U-turn since there is an island separating the roads.

The park has no real flat spots other than the segreated small dog area to the left of the main entrance. Most of the park has a mixture of grass, rocks and mud..dirt and mud (on rainy days). Not my favorite park in the area, as there are a number of dog owners who frequent the park who have dogs that are overly excitable or aggressive. Keep your eyes on your pet as these owners do not watch theirs. The park has running water and a dedicated trash area. I find that if you go up the hill and sit near the 4 stones up top, its easier to watch your pets and less of the irresponsible dog owners hang out up there. If you looking for a quick place to take the puppy..this is fine..but if your looking for a nicer place..try White Spruce Park. Remember be responsible dog owner! keep an eye on your children pick up after your dog, enjoy the park!

There are some interesting features, like a tunnel, a charming bridge, and wooden stairs that add a bit of variety to the trails. A small creek runs through the park, and in the summer, the abundance of shade makes it a perfect escape from the heat. In the winter, it's quiet and serene, but keep in mind that the trails aren't maintained. If you're lucky, you might catch glimpses of songbirds.

The older (circa 1980s/90s) playground is still present but it's certainly seldom used and generally forgotten about by most park patrons. There's a good pathway that connects 26th street to 29th street through the park and when you're pushing a baby in a stroller it can be good walk to help kill some time.

I go there mostly for the fantastic dog park. It is large and fully fenced, with a lovely view and a nice woodchip ground cover. Perhaps because it's a little bit further from the dense residential area, the dog park has not been too busy on the three occasions that I've visited it. With lots of shade and picnic benches, it is almost perfect. The only thing standing in the way of a 5-star rating is the lack of a water fountain. There's one near the bathrooms, not far from the dog park, but it does not have a dog fountain at the base.
