We are a fan of Saskatoon Dog Parks year-round. Dog walks are the best family time and we try to make it a priority to get to them. We walk, we laugh, and we don’t need to rush. We have rules for my son at the dog park. He knows to ask before going to another dog. He also makes sure our dog has already had the first meet and greet. He loves dogs, but we’ve done our best to teach him that not all dogs want a kid near them. I’m very proud of how well he’s done with these rules.
If we feel cooped up in the house, we go to the dog park. It is our happy place. We have a favourite dog park, and but we’ve been to quite a few. We’re still working on making it to all of them. I’m going to talk about all of the dog parks in Saskatoon. Starting with our favourites, and then mentioning parks we’ve heard others rave about. We have always loved the big ones so we can do lots of walking. Dog parks are also a wonderful place to meet up for a walk with friends. Some rules we live by are to make sure the dog license is up to date, we pick up our poop, and we remind our son that the park is for dogs and they don’t all enjoy kids.
We’ve compiled a list of some of our favourite parks for those furry family members. If you have one you love, let us know!

Avalon Dog Park
South end of Broadway at Glasgow Street
Caswell Dog Park
Avenue F North and 31st Street West, next to Mayfair Pool
Hampton Dog Park
North on Range Road 3060
The best part about this dog park is the location. It’s out of Hampton Village off a grid road and right next to the airport. My son used to love watching the planes take off and land as we walked around. It’s also huge. You can choose trails in any direction, and there is lots of space for dogs to meet up. The city recently expanded the parking lot and added garbage cans which are all wonderful things. It’s a beautiful wide-open space, and it really makes you understand why Saskatchewan is called the land of the living skies.
Hampton Dog Park
Hyde Park
South end of Hyde Park, adjacent to Boychuk Drive
Fred Mendel
Avenue W South and 17th Street West
Paul Mostaway
Richardson Road, east of McClocklin Road
This one is in Hampton Village. It’s smaller than the ones above, but still quite nice. It’s a nice place to meet up with people and let your pups play.
Pierre Radisson
Between 32nd Street and 33rd Street at Faulkner Crescent
Silverwood Dog Park
Access off Kinnear Avenue or the east end of Adilman Drive
Southwest Dog Park
Off Valley Road, near Cedar Villa Estates
Sutherland Beach
West off Central Avenue, north of Attridge Drive
It’s a big park with lots of room to walk around and river access.
Leashed Trails
You can also check out Meewasin Trails or Gabriel Dumont Park for leashed trails.
Chief Whitecap Park
Access via Saskatchewan Crescent off of Cartwright Street
This dog park is in the Furdale area and is sometimes referred to as the Furdale dog park. It’s got a nice huge trail and lots of connecting paths that lead down to the river. In the summer, dogs can go swimming. My dog and son had so much fun exploring the area. It’s a busier dog park because people love it so much, but definitely worth a visit.
Chief Whitecap Park
Chappell Marsh
This is a leashed area.
Cranberry Flats
Another leashed area out of town.
If you are uncomfortable taking your little pup to a regular dog park, The City of Saskatoon has two small Dog Parks at Hyde Park and Charlottetown Park. Dogs must be under 16″ at the shoulder and less than 20 lbs.
Sirius Unleashed is a private off-leash dog park off Dalmany Road.
Find more information about the rules and regulations at the dog park and more information about the locations on the City of Saskatoon Dog Parks page.
If you’re looking for playgrounds instead of dog parks, we have a guide for that too! Check it out here.
