Warden Woods Off-Leash Dog Park — Attraction in Toronto

Update - Dec 2019: A number of the issues mentioned below have been addressed. The North fence is still too low IMO but the other infrastructure issues have been resolved. Have not had issues with other owners in many months.

Note: Despite Google Maps insistence on the address on Firvalley Ct. (I have tried several time to correct it), the correct address is 125 Pharmacy Road in Scarborough. This is confirmed on the City of Toronto website. Parking is also available at the Pharmacy entrance.

There may be a walking path from Firvalley but you will have to find a place to cross the subway tracks and the only one I am aware of is in the opposite direction from the dog park itself.

The water fountain would be nice if they had a bag dispenser as we ran out of our But person that was there was kind enough to...

The trail isn't too long to complete so if you are looking for a challenge, this wouldn't be it. But they also have some easier off trail routes that could be fun. Most of the trail is nicely shaded. Not the widest of trails so if it is busy it can be a challenge to social distance. The one down side was the smell coming from the river. It was the worse at the bridge. Whether I had a mask on or off, you can taste it in your mouth. Not sure what it is like during the fall,...
