Gold Bar Park

FreeLeashed, off-leash zone on site

Gold Bar Park lies on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River at the end of 50 Street and includes an off-leash area, picnic sites and an extensive network of walking and cycling trails. A year-round pavilion offers accessible washrooms and a water bottle refill station, and the park is also a winter cross-country skiing hub.

Why it made the list

A quiet riverside park with a designated off-leash area and easy paved access, great for combining off-leash play with a leashed river walk.

Good to know before you go

The City of Edmonton lists an off-leash area within Gold Bar Park; dogs must be leashed elsewhere in the park. Park access hours are 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. and entry is free. Stay off groomed ski trails in winter.

Practical notes

  • Pair the off-leash area with a leashed stroll to the river viewpoint.
  • The pavilion's refill station is handy for topping up dog water bowls.
