Laycock Park

Great off leash park and not too busy. It is not fenced so your dog needs a good recall as it is between a street and a busy bike path

Clean park, nice paths. If you want to run hills you can go full blackout wooooo!

Bit of a drive around to access the park. The landscape is aesthetically appealing. Has a well-designed foot bridge and the playground is a nice attraction for the children. Park is parallel to the highway so not very quiet due to traffic noise.

Great narrow city park with bike and walking path from end to end. Has 2 ball diamonds and kids playground. With all the rain the water is high.

Dog friendly off leash park. Not too busy and does have a playground. Good place to walk the dog or hang out with the family.

At the time of our visit (April 2021) it was very clean and spacious in a sense where there weren’t a lot of people (covid times is a factor I’m sure) but thoroughly enjoyed the double swing with an infant. Our son loved it and it fitted him perfect (11 months) he also loves going down the big slides supervised and supported of course. The parking lot (end of an industrial street) for the playground was slightly of a distance though but on a nice day was an enjoyable walk. There’s also a basketball court by the parking lot. There’s also picnic area that is covered by a roof, great for shade. There’s also a dog park area somewhere cause we kept seeing little four legged friends around.

This park is fantastic for kids that love to climb or act like Monkeys! My kids love this park and the short path over to it. The ground is rubbery type of thing so it can get hot, but stays soft in case of trips and falls. There's a nice shaded area nearby as well for any parents trying to find some shade at the park, as well as a smaller side park for a parent and child to swing together, and some fun drum things that make music when you hit them. All in all a cool park, my kids love it, so I do too!

Beautiful off-leash park. Not fenced if your dog needs that. Shared space with bikes.

We went tobogganing there. Decent sized hill. Steep enough to get some speed going down the hill and not too steep as to get tired after coming up the hill more than once. Would suggest going after a fresh wet snowfall for better snow if you'd like to build a small jump. Don't wait for the snow to dry out.

The park name makes me giggle but all jokes aside this is one of my most favourite spots in all of Calgary! The number of life changing moments I've had here are really profound. I go there to shake off my day and connect with nature in what ways I can. The lil bit or trees in the lower areas make for a sweet lil forest bush place to walk dogs. The play structures are pretty new and fun for lil ones (covid willing!) Theres even a shaded spot for picnics.All in all, it's small but mighty and a nice time for all ages
