Sunnidale Dog Off-Leash Recreation Area

Absolutely fabulous dog park. Nice forest and path layout, like a secret gem in North Barrie. Ou Saluki loved running through the trails and forest. Good gates and fences.

Love this dog park and so does my pup. In the winter months it can be really icy, so it'd be nice if someone would go around with dog safe ice melt, but I digress.There's lots of different paths you can take and mostly the people are super friendly

Not a lot of parking and it is a STEEP walk to the off leash area. The park itself is very dense forest with paths worn by users so dogs with no strong recall can get out of sight and lost - I'd like to think this is why there is a lot of unscooped poop. It is a hike and there are steep and muddy/sandy areas, no map of trails/paths. I found that people did not leash their dogs on the path from the park to lot so caution to those with leash reactivity. Great park once in but no flat, open grass areas. Sign up says it will be closed Sept-April 2019 to allow nature to recover. Try the Sunnidale Arboretum park if you want paved, leisurely on leash walk in a maintained park. Great park but not for everyone (strollers, mobility challenged)

My favorite off leash dog park in Barrie. Completely fenced with hills, grass, tall trees everywhere for shade, seats, good footing. My dogs and I have an excellent time there. Afterwards, we go to a cool stream out of the dog park for a water soak and let them drink to cool off. It's really great!

Awesome very large FENCED off-leash forest TRAIL for dogs. Recently overhauled sometime 2019-2020. Quickest access via the community garden parking lot (across the Bowlerama). [see picture] there is a mulch pathway to the left of the community garden, follow the path about 5 minutes (a bit of downhill, small bridge, look for double gated entrance along the fenced area). Inside the off-leash area, there is an easy-walking loop trail along the fence, and deep forested branching trails throughout the middle. Seating and picnic benches throughout. Bring water and poop bags, bug spray, closed-toe footwear recommended. Bark-bark park!

The off leash part of the park is quite large. A good walk for a puppy, an old dog and myself. Everyone seems friendly and there isn't much in the way of poop all over the place. I credit responsible dog owners for respecting this nice park.

Fully fenced, average-sized, great for summer because of the shady trails. Not a lot of parking, but you can park across the Street at the Bayfield mall. Watch for coyotes between the parking lot and the fenced dog park as it starts to get dark.

Beautiful trails and woods for pups to explore off-leash. Park was clean and maintained nicely. We thought this fort in the woods was really cool!

One of the best dog parks I've ever been. Winding trails that are fully fenced in. Can be muddy/wet at times so be prepared but overall amazing trails

This is the best dog park I have ever been to. So much activity for the dogs if they don't have other dogs to play with. Great maintained trails with lovely flowers. Visited end of May, the flowers are so fragrent and lovely smelling!The trails are very steep so make sure you bring your walking shoes. Great that I can get a workout same time as my dog!
