Parks · Southeast Calgary
Sue Higgins Park, formerly Southland Park, lies along the west bank of the Bow River in southeast Calgary and covers about 62 hectares. It is home to the largest fenced off-leash area in Calgary, with river access, marshes, grasslands and wooded trails. The park also has picnic tables, pathways and washrooms.
The city's biggest fully fenced off-leash area with direct Bow River access gives dogs room to run, play and swim in a secure setting.
The majority of the park is designated off-leash; Calgary is otherwise an on-leash city and parking lots remain on-leash zones. City of Calgary hours are 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. and admission is free. Keep dogs under voice control and away from playgrounds and sports fields.
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.
