Parks · Northwest Calgary
Nose Hill Park is one of the largest natural environment urban parks in North America, covering about 1,129 hectares of Rough Fescue grassland in northwest Calgary. Roughly a third of the park is designated off-leash, and the paved trail crossing the park is an on-leash zone. From the hilltop you get panoramic views of the city and the Rockies on clear days.
Huge open grassland trails with a large off-leash share make it a top spot for high-energy dogs that love long, scenic walks.
Dogs may be off-leash only within designated areas; the paved regional pathway is on-leash and cyclists use it. Park hours are 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. and entry is free per the City of Calgary. Watch for coyotes, especially at dawn and dusk.
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.
