Parks · Gloucester-South, Ottawa
A large National Capital Commission green space in Ottawa's south end, popular as one of the city's biggest off-leash dog areas, with woodland trails adjacent to Pine Grove Forest. Dogs can run and explore off leash within the designated pit area, making it a favourite exercise spot for local dog owners.
Nearly 100 hectares of NCC parkland where well-socialized dogs can sprint off leash through a former sand-and-gravel pit and forest trails.
The official NCC Pine Grove page states: 'Conroy Pit is a popular off-leash dog park. Dogs are permitted off leash only in the designated area. They must be on a leash everywhere else, including the parking lot, and are not allowed at the toboggan hill.' Leashed dogs are permitted on Pine Grove trails April 15 – November 30 and year-round on the Greenbelt Pathway East. Free parking is available at lots P17, P18 and P19, but the lot is small and fills quickly. Hours were not published in the material reviewed.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
