Reviews of Victoria West Dog Park (Park)

Mandy Wilson

We had a great time. I was babysitting my grand puppy. Never been to a dog park before. All the dogs and owners were very friendly!!

Jason Dixon

VERY small off leash area. No grass, huge rock in the middle makes it hard to keep track of you dog. Very small parking lot.

Brenda Leo Moranchel

Nice place, but no grass and can be crowded.

Van iLander

There were only a few dogs in the park this morning, the weather was nice. A great day to be out with the dog.

Michael Smith

Great place to let your dogs off leash. Fully fenced in, usually other dogs there too! It is a really dirty park though, not appropriate for kids or puppies. Bring towels for your back seat, haha.

Marc Gosselin

Great park. Free parking, fully fenced, water faucet available, and fine gravel so no mud on rainy days.

Kaitlin Woods

Great space for dog socialization, esp for dogs that cannot be off leash without running away.

Spring Waters

A great facility with easy parking. Water available except during periods of freezing temperatures. Poop bag dispenser is usually full but bring your own just in case. There are a few low spots that fill with water after a rain and it's kind of dusty in the summer ... otherwise a fantastic facility.

Cute little space, lots of nice dogs. Bit small, but my retriever doesn't mind.

Joanne Smith

Interesting park, I’m not used to the size off of leash parks on the West Coast yet, they seem so small after Calgary. The dogs and the owners where very friendly, it’s a nice spot for a short walk or a long play!!

Shellina Mitchell

Lots of cool little things for your dogs to do! Sometimes some wierd dog owners here... Keep dog politics out of the dog park!

Daniel Wilkin

A great dog park/ parks there are two areas one fully fenced off with chain link and the other a grassy area that can get a bit muddy and its not fully fenced off.bylaw comes by often so make sure licence is up to date also stay away from main field if not on leash . Only complaint is ignorant people that bring small children in there to run or the lady that showed up with a hamburger and was upset dogs wanted it... but oh well there are these people walking around everywhere

My dogs favorite place to Poop in Victoria (and yes I pick it up everytime ) The dog families are so amazing. Everytime is pure Joy!

Leah Hoerger

The playground and ice-skating is pretty good.

AJ Bast

A great dog park, I live that it is fully fenced and that there is a water station. The people who come here are super friendly. The only thing I can complain about is that it is super dark, there are no lights in the park and none of the street lights reach it. So in winter it's basically pitch dark at 6pm, which makes it hard to see your dog let alone the deuce he dropped.

Ashleigh Ward-Axworthy

Lots of dogs, lots of space. A good place to let your dog run or socialize whatever they want...

Sarah A

Love bringing the dog here when she comes to work with me. Never had an issue with careless owners or aggressive dogs. Sometimes animal services strolls through giving out treats and answering questions about license etc. Seen a few people without them and they're given a brochure rather than a ticket, so that's nice.

Dionne LoForte

A safe fenced in area for pups to run around. Easy to pick up poop and dispose of it. A bit dusty but oh so helpful to have this space available.

Al Thomson

Great place to play with your dog. A little smelly and dusty when its hot out and theres some spear grass near the back, but the regular dogs make it worth it.

Selena L

Best place to see dogs having fun and socializing while their 2-leggeds do too!

Julia Simmons-Finnie

Two areas for dogs. One chain- link fenced that has great areas for climbing & play with other dogs. The other is split log fenced & grassy. A favorite park for us.

Sadie Thomas

We are vacationing from Alberta and love it. Our dog loves it as well. Edmonton could take some lessons on building dog parks from this park. Importing the boulders a different problem :) It has changed however since the last time we were here in 2018. It has become over-taken by a large dog contingency, so that it is uncomfortable to go in if you have a smaller < 25 lb dog. *** It would be really nice if they would set aside a couple of 1 hour time slots a day for smaller dogs only ***

Candace Derksen

Fenced off area. My only draw back is the open run area gets muddy as heck after a rain. Overall convenience high with a Starbucks across the street and a pet store. Close to trails

Leica Nelson

Nice group of people who keep a good watch on their own dog's behaviour. Lots of fun loving dogs.

Brian Koval

Great place for dogs to play. A little small but lots of different ground types.

Sylvia Oertel

Small little off- leash park. FULLY fenced... virtually impossible for our dog to escape (and she is small and wily). No grass only sand and rocks but the dogs all seem to love it.

Nikki Sacco

Great place for your pup! Love the double gate system and benches for the humans! Parking lot is a little tight, but at least there is a parking lot!

S. Rao

Ok location had ball game there

Cindy Ignacz

Not a good place for small dogs. Irresponsible large dog owner think that because its fenced in they can let their big dogs do whatever they want. No grass..its gravel with a large rock in the middle of it. The only good thing about it is that it does have water during the summer. but it smells really bad.

Danielle Drouin

kewl little compound for ur dog to play with other dogs... Starbucks across the street .. has a grass field as well for playin in

Happy Chika

Little doggie oasis in the city

Nuala Power

Pretty nice park for your dog to run and play fenced in with lots of other dogs to bounce around with. Good community to connect with as well as there are always lots of people on a nice day. The only complaint is no grass in the enclosed area but nearby are some fields that are segregated from kids areas that are more conducive to throwing a ball for fetch.

peter Forrest

Dog paradise. Off leash area with ramps and nice spaces for them to enjoy.

Jim Burke

Perfect place to bring Nova to tire her out. Definitely going to be a regular stop when Nova visits Victoria.

Jordan Elliott

Nice thing about this dog park is the double gate and the gravel, so it doesn't get muddy after rain. Bad part, I saw some spear grass there. Overall great park

Rippy Snippittz

Best fenced Dog park around Victoria, wish we had more... been going here for the past few years and unfortunately there are some transient people that hang around the washroom building every day like they own it.

Brock Randolph

Nice park, fully fenced. Love to grab a coffee and enjoy it here while my pups run around with their friends.

Laura E

Fantastic place for dog's to socialize.

Jayne Marsh

Many very good dogs. Highly recommend.

Megs HG

It's a nice and clean enclosed dog park. It had a big boulder in the middle, a tunnel a tree, just a nice fun park!

Wendy Coles

Great enclosure, lots of room to jump, run and play. Fully secured. Water faucets during hot months, dog bags available, very clean.

Jaymie Chudiak

Fully enclosed!! A rarity in Victoria area. Water for the dogs and bench seating for the people. Good parking, a people washroom and a Starbucks across the street. Only thing needed is a bit more variation of terrain and it would be perfect but very happy to have found this.

Natalie Kelt

Fences plus lots of walking are and nice playground too! Develop friendly conversations with other pet owners while dogs get to run and play with other dogs.

Drew Ellis

Very wet. Nice still. Would love a gravel or woodchips path/s across more of the grass especially around play areas and walking towards Henry St. Shoes too wet.

Travis Mitchell

Its a good park, small enclosure and often busy.

Tanis Waher

Great place to bring your dog, clean, fully fenced, drinking water and poop bags. Shame there's no grass.

Michelle Ferris

Great dogs and owners. Bit gravelly and dusty which my dog doesn't like but she's weird.

Steele Explosion

Lively place for dogs to play and frolic with each other here and for owners to meet and socialize with each other also here!!

Garret Zhang

The park next too it is great. Food close by and Starbucks,apinnakers,and dollar store

Supa mic

1 of the 2 only true dog parks in Victoria. Crowd can be hit or miss. Park is not bad but could be a lot better given there are only 2 dog parks in the city.

David Hannah

Lots of space to run around and some rocks in the middle to climb. Two benches and water for the dogs. Usually a good mix of big and small dogs.

Gavin Iverson

My dog didn't like the gravel dog area and there were only big dogs in the off leash area. But there was TONS of open green space for us to play (just with leashes on)

Timothy Zemanek

Lots of space for dogs and kids to run around, playground and large natural stone are great for kids to play on.

Will Nikl

Watch your car windows during base ball season. Got my window smashed. Park by Save on Foods. Love this fenced dog park. Water spout and nice climbing rock and tree area.

Richelle Berg

Any dog park is a great place. But its not about you its for the dog and his adventures and smelling his pee-mail.

Sarah Grace

It is a nice added bonus to the park. A bit dusty and stinky during the summer months without rain to wash it down.

Court Fooks

This isn't a destination park, but it is a good-sized neighbourhood park. It features a decent playground and a skate park. It also has a public washroom and plenty of green space.

monty louis

Great playground, open field, rocks to play and rest on. Agacent to a skate park and bball court.

Erica Leslie

Get dog park for being in the city.
