Greenwood Dog Park — Attraction in Toronto

A clean and beautiful dog park. The "field" is filled with little pebbles which has its positives: clean, no grass upkeep, no mud. But I'm not sure how gentle they are on the paws.

There are some toy thieves in all time frames so be aware that you might lose a toy if you bring one.

The park is getting re-done later this year so if the stones are a concern to you (or your dog), just watch for...
