Great little park for an off leash walk with your dog in the neighborhood. There is a nice open field on one side with a beautiful wooded area for your dog to run around. Off leash timings 5am-10am and 5pm-10pm.

Great park with playground area, lots of trees and shade. Field with good coverage. Dogs are welcomed, except for the playground area. Lots of benches for picnic.

Nice little park off of 49th Avenue near Boundary. Located in a quiet neighborhood beside a school with a playground. It has a small forest in the North end of the park where I dropped off my son for a foam flinging event.

This park is a nice one in amongst a long line of parks in the area. Attached to Champlain heights elementary it can get hectic during school days/events so if your looking for quiet maybe head to Everett Crowley park during those times. It loses a star since the field has a incline in some parts. If your playing badminton or volleyball you can avoid it but soccer could be affected. For baseball there is a gravel field so they got that covered at least and the school has 3 basketball courts but that's school grounds not park. It's also ok for sunbathing/yoga if that is your thing. Happily it has benches but they are usually exposed to sun so it's not much a relief. It has a good forested area that I enjoy seeing in parks, it offers respite from the heavy sun. As mentioned it's attached to Champlain elementary so there is a good playground rated for kids (don't recall age) so toddlers should be restricted/watched. Then the trails in the area cut through between the park and school so it integrates right into the community pathways. Overall a nice park to have around, not stellar but good for little explorers and those wanting to play small court games.

Clean green space. Natural shaded areas from the trees makes good picnic spots - bring your own gear. Watch your dogs in case of coyotes. Washrooms at the gas station across the street.
