There’s nothing better than a day at the park with your pooch.

Off-leash dog parks are a fantastic place for your pup to run around and let off some steam. It’s also a great way to meet new people and pets, and we’re pretty fortunate to have some amazing dog parks in our area.

We made a list of the best nine parks in and around Edmonton, along with a map to help you find them:
