55Very easy to find and the park is clean and secure. We didn’t see or hear anyone else other than Nick who showed us the park when we first arrived. The dogs had a blast! Luisa A.

55Great space with tall secure fence, loved the fire pit area really made the visit even more enjoyable!
There was a dog across the street a couple times during visit that was distracting for my dog but it never lasted long just wanted to add for others to be aware but didn't bother us
Thank you for the visit! Kaitlyn H.

55We had a great time at Bear Park! The directions were simple to follow, Nick (the host) met us on site as it was our first time there and showed us the park. The fence was secure, there were 3 garbage bins (and poop bags provided) inside the park. Lots of room to run around in the snow for our dog Harper! She even saw some squirrels in the neighbouring trees. We’ll definitely be back!Cassandra W.

55Was a great space to allow our dog to safely explore and sniff. Was also great for working on his recall. There were some dogs at nearby properties barking but for our dog who is dog reactive we were able to use this as a good training opportunity. Chelsea W.

55Second time out here. Very clean!
It’s a very nice wide open space.. perfect for the pups who love to open up and run.. the fire is perfect on crisp evenings. The fire wood is always stock up.. and on clear nights. The stars are beautiful
Thanks for having this option for our boy Chrissy2018 M.

55Perfect place for dogs that are reactive or just like to enjoy their own space. Nick was super friendly and had the fire ready for us when we got there. I have a 2 year old German shepherd who is high energy and she loved running around & sniffing everything, once we got in the car she slept the entire way home. Definitely will be coming back ☺️Ayesha B.

55What a great spot! Well maintained and fully fenced, my dogs had a blast running through the field. There's a nice sitting area and we paid the extra for the fire which was super nice! We went when it was dark out and I was worried it would be too dark, but the area is decently lit up I had light up tags on the dogs so I could see where they were at the whole time, we brought flashlights but didn't really need them. I also messed up while trying to book and the owner was really helpful and accomadating, easy to get ahold of for questionsJessica B.

55Excellent as always! Luna was spayed and had nor been at Bear Park for a month. The moment she realized we were heading there, I almost cried by just how happy and grateful she was! It is her favourite place on earth. Thanks for taking great care of it, Nick!Maziel H.

55Great spot to take our Huskies too. Lots of space to run and the groomed paths made it easy for owners to walk around with the dogs. The fire kept us warm. We had a great first visit. Will be back. Trinity K.

55We enjoyed our first visit to Bear Park! We were met at the parking lot and got some helpful information. My dogs very much enjoyed the park, and the big area they got to run in. It’s a very peaceful location. Also very clean no poop at all in the park.
Come winter I can’t wait to cozy up to a fire while the dogs run. We will be back! Donna W.

Frequently asked questions about Alberta dog park
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Alberta area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
