55Very nice area, fun little trails through bush and tons to smell. He ran like a crazy boy. The pond was a chilly one with a thin layer of ice starting to form in areas and my pup took the cold plunge lol. The only downsides were: the lack of fencing on the other side of the pond made me a bit nervous (I didn’t think he’d swim in that cold of water but he did so my fault for assuming haha); then the other was that one side of fencing backed onto a bunch of backyards, and my rambunctious teenage guy kept running over to the barking dogs in one of the yards. Overall clean, spacious and lovely set up! Thanks for a nice visit!! Remy C.
55Such a phenomenal spot! So much space to explore. Winston loved the property and we will be making this sniff spot a reoccurring location for sure. Can’t wait to come back :) Colleen E.
55Great fenced in area! Nice paths for training recall for puppies. Had a great time. Note, wear good shoes as the ground is uneven. Jennifer D.
55I love it here, as do the dogs. Unfortunately, they have figured out how to get out if they run around the pond. They come back to the gate, so it's no big deal. Just for your information. Barb T.
55Great spot for our meet up to let our dogs run! Nice paths through out the probably. Fenced area with the picnic table was a nice touch for a break! Jenn C.
55Owners were super nice and were able to squeeze us in today on short notice! I loved the off leash area, however it is important to note that the fenced in area faces neighbours backyards. We were able to see one of the neighbours dogs barking at us, and thankfully this was not an issue. Overall, the place was very nice, and it seems like the perfect spot for a doggie play date! Definitely recommend and hope to return soon! We had a blast. Allexia C.
55Our corgi and his two buddies had a great time at this property! We love the newer additions of the gate and the picnic bench in the fenced in off lease area! Our pup even had a sneaky splash in the pond at the end!Lina M.
55I am so grateful this place exists. My dog Lua and I have been coming here for a few months now and it was always a super pleasant experience. The fence is for sure safe for medium to large dogs (sometimes you can see that animals dug underneath the fence and a smaller dog could maybe fit through). Going there definitely changed our life since it gives an amazing opportunity to train off leash and simply having time to run and roll in the mud for your dog. We will be back as much as we can :)Katharina K.
45Beautiful spot! Not another dog or person in sight which was perfect for our pup! The only downside is there’s a small part of the property that does not have fencing! On the outer part of the small pond that’s to your left once you enter the fence. Thankfully my dog has pretty good recall, however if your dog is a runner/ if you are looking for a 100% fenced lot THIS IS NOT! otherwise it’s an amazing spot to bring your dog and we will definitely be returning! Hannah B.
55My family and I brought 4 dogs, 2 of who are quite reactive, to enjoy nature and have the chance to run without worrying about running into other dogs. They all had a blast! We will definitely be back! We did have one little escape artist slip under the fence into a neighbor's backyard but I would think most dogs 20 lbs and up would not be able to do that. Claire v.

**Gate is back up and Fully Fenced as of April 21, 2024**
Welcome to Goldenwood Acres! On our 26 acre hobby farm, we have a 6 acre fully fenced farm field/dog park. Ride up and park at the white barn, and walk your leashed puppers to the field past our gardens, woodlots, and ponds. From the barn to the dog park you will get familiar with our surroundings and other fences. There is access to the forest and two ponds on the property. Crossing through the tree line, you have private access to the 6-acre field. Four-foot tall fencing is installed for your security.
The best time to come is May to September. Come walk between the sunflower rows that grow up to 10 feet tall in the late summer! We cut the field between the sunflowers, make trails and play spots. We also leave big areas untouched for our honeybees (hives located in the other field).
Enjoy seeing natural landscapes, trees, and privacy. Have fun, play catch and let your animal have unleashed freedom!
We have uploaded a printable "safety map" for each season, that contains a legend for your use. Note the fire pit is not available during the winter season. Park has one main gate.
This season we will also be placing picnic tables with a BBQ for large groups. I recommend booking the summer weekends in advance as they will fill up fast!
Fencing Details:
The 6-acre Dog Park Field is permanently fenced with approximately 2,500 linear feet of 4’ tall farm fence. The farm fence consists of professionally installed 2” by 4” squares of wire mesh (commonly used for smaller livestock such as sheep, donkey, cows, etc) and cedar posts. If you look at the photos you can see the locations of the gate on the main photo or on “safety map” (see photos and captions).
We have more fencing on other parts of the property outside of our dog park in case your dog does not have good recall. Refer to the safety map (see photos).
If you have any questions, please let me know.
