Burlington Dog Park: From Corinne - "There is a leash free park at Bayview Park on King Road North in Burlington. It is past the North Service Road. From 403, exit on Waterdown Road, turn left, right on North Service Road, left on King Road. Very nice with a lovely view. Friendly owners and well behaved dogs! Fenced an with smaller trees, grass, wood chips." Burlington Dog Park: From Virginia A. - "In Burlington, Ontario, there's a great leash-free area within Bronte Park Provincial Park. There is a small park admission fee (half and full-year passes available), but the leash free zone features trails for owners and dogs to walk so the dogs aren't bunched up in corners. Leashed dogs are welcome in the rest of the park zones. To reach the leash-free area, exit at Burloak Drive (from the QEW). Turn north and the park entrance is just above Mainway on the right hand side of the road." Burlington Dog Park: From Ria - Location: Shell park, on Lakeshore, west of Hwy 25. "A good size park that is completely open for good viewing of what your dog or other dogs are doing. There are a couple of picnic tables that people use for sitting on... but this is also a drawback as then they are not always supervising their dogs when they should be. Most owners keep an eye on their dogs though. There is also a small fenced area for small dogs only! Facilities: fenced, gated entrances, water tap, ground cover is grass with dirt, open space with a couple smaller trees for shade." Cambridge Dog Park: From Ria - "There is a dog park at Maple Grove Road - Off Hwy 24, North of 401. A good size park that is completely open for good viewing of what your dog or other dogs are doing. There are a couple of picnic tables that people use for siting on... but this is also a drawback as then they are not always supervising their dogs when they should be. I have seen a number of squabbles arrise due to owner not supervising their dog's behaviour... as well as a small dog being mauled. :( A lot of great owners/dogs there most of the time... but at other times it's not the place i'd want to be. Please supervise your pet at all times. Facilities: fenced, gated entrances with additional gate to enter, ground cover is grass with dirt, open space with a couple smaller trees."

It's a great stop if you're enroute between Toronto and Montreal on the 401 with your pups. Exit 750 at Morrisburg, south - drive straight past lights and stop sign, and then turn left on Canada Way. Dog park is on left, across from the beach."
