Stanley park is a fantastic to let your pooch run free in downtown Toronto. Part of the park is completely fenced in - which is perfect when you don't want your dog chasing a squirrel into King St...
The dog area is relatively clean, but there are some owners who don't pick up. I'm hoping this is just because they are busy chatting and didn't notice, and not because they don't care.
The only downside to this park is that the ground is some sort of dirt/sand combo, which ends up coming home in my dog's fur.
Overall, a great spot to let Fido run off leash
