Jack Purcell Park

The park part is not that great, however it is a dog friendly park as it has some fox facilities.

An outstanding dog park. I've tried several around the city and this is easily the best. Friendly owners, clean park, and double fenced gates. There's good water supply in the warmer months.The rest of the park looked nice too. The nearby community center seems to take good care of it.

This a great off leash Dog Park located in the downtown core of Ottawa. It's not too big so it's easy to keep an eye on your pet. Most people that go are very friendly and true animal lovers. I have never seen any problems (pets or people). My dog goes crazy in the car as soon as he sees the park. You should check it out.

Wonderful locals with well behaved dogs frequent this fully-enclosed park. There is a dog-friendly water fountain on site and picnic tables for humans to sit.

Although small, this park has a lot to offer. From a fenced-in dog park to a tennis court to a picnic table. This well utilized green space serves the community very well.

Great dog park. Some of the dogs are not friendly but most are..

If you have a small dog breed unable to defend itself, or a puppy, I do not recommend this park. While there are many responsible dog owners who use this park and many larger dogs there who love and play well with small dogs, unfortunately not all of them are and it is not worth the risk of trauma to your dog. There are a few regulars who do not stop their dogs or leave once their dog becomes aggressive, and/or still enter the park even though their dog has gone after dogs that are already in the park and immediately targets them again once they are inside. We moved nearby partially for this dog park but my partner and I have experienced this multiple times and know of at least four other people this has happened to, so we avoid it now unless we are the only ones in the park, and we leave once other dogs show up.

Not much of a dog park but was ok for a quick. I was in Ottawa to pick up my daughter and head home to Toronto so it gave Hazel the time to play and meet some dogs in the Capital. Justin was not here! Do they have a dog?

Great dog park. Secure double fence system at the entrances. Lots of tennis balls. Water bowls are provided, but the water is off because of construction currently so bring your own. Lots of benches, picnic tables, etc. This park is very dusty, your dog will probably need a rinse after coming but it's worth it.
