Lots of room to run the dog. A few parh options to mix up the pattern if you want to change things up. Quite a few dogs there during most times but the amount of space allows the dogs to run freely very easily. Lots of parking. Gated and fenced.

It’s a good size for a dog park, has some training spots and benches to relax. Upon entry you get a welcome info board and from there dirt paths going around in various ways. Kind of a large circle with some criss crosses. I went in the rain which I wouldn’t recommend as it’s just mud. It’s a fine park space for under power lines and dogs seem to like it. Massive parking area where you sometimes...

This is a great dog park for medium to large dogs. We took our 4 month old little boy but he was a little intimidated by all the big dogs running around. It is a fair size place with lots of parking.

Auburn Bay Dog Park is a fantastic spot! It's big, clean, and well-maintained, offering plenty of space for dogs to run and play. We take our dog there all the time, and he loves it. It's a great community park where dogs and owners alike can enjoy themselves. Highly recommend!

Great space and paths. Great location. Only 3 stars though as its badly maintained. The parking lot is often a mud pit, not paved and little to no gravel. There are many areas with no grass (just dirt, or mud) needs to be reseeded. Dog is a dirty mess after most visits. Also watch out for foxtails.

When is the best time to visit Auburn Bay Dog Park (Calgary, Canada)?

In spring, gravel paths can get muddy; wear waterproof shoes and pack towels. In winter, water stations may freeze and boardwalks can be icy; bring traction cleats and a warm jacket.
