Roly Bird Park — Attraction in Burlington

This is a nice park located close to Costco. If you're shopping locally, this is a good place to stop afterwards for a stretch. they have an off leash pen for dog owners, and they must good people because there has never been an incident there. They have playing fields and a play ground for children and youth and creek with light forest for people to explore or find shade. There is no public washroom located here, so make sure you go, before you go. Located at the end of the Burlington hydro light bike and walking trail, it's the last end of the stretch before you have to get back onto the road to continue to the downtown. One development I'd like to see for this Park, is to build a trail tunnel under the train tracks and highway, to link it up to the green space south of the QEW adjacent to Brant Street so pedestrians and cyclists can enjoy a more direct route to Brant street by the court house, and people can access the hydro line trails easier from the city as well, one day the trail could link up to Mapleview and down to the lake and Lake Shore Drive forming a continuous trail from Bronte Creek at Appleby Line, all the way down to Spencer Smith Park and beyond (to Hamilton even), creating a premium venue for running and cycling events...

I came here with my dog yesterday for the first time. I used to take her to another park nearby but we recently moved and I decided to take her to a park that is closer. This park is clean, not muddy, owners seem to always pick-up after their dogs, and there are dog bowls and tennis balls dropped off from some community supporters that made it really fun and convenient for myself and my dog. There is a real sense of community at this dog park. Though it is smaller than some other dog parks, it is so clean and there is still ample space for dogs...

My usual dog park is Norton, but I went to Roly Bird to meet a friend today. When I arrived, I noticed branches growing over the fences and very little wood chips. If there were any rain yesterday the entire park would have been a mud pit. I also disliked how many trees were in the park as they pose a big risk to running dogs. The park is also in an L shape so it's hard to make use of the entire surface area. Overall I like how bright, large, and open Norton is and won't be returning...
