Sherwood Park

Lovely park for a stroll all year around. Also has a wonderful off the lease dog trail :) A number of steps so be careful during icey|snowy conditions.

Great off-leash park for dogs, with fenced trails and boardwalks. Beautiful established forest (in part due to the fencing) and wonderful nook of a splash pad in the summer. Fences do have openings however, wouldn't recommend for dogs likely to bolt or without good recall. A gem! Actively very icy though--with all the hills, I recommend ice cleats!

Nice place for an evening stroll. Good for humans and pups alike. Not a biking trail though. There are stairs which can be useful if you need to do some cardio.

Amazing location and park to hike and enjoy a nice sunny day. Almost in our backyard and I never knew it was even in the city unit I started researching Google Maps. Parking right off Sherwood Avenue and free. The park starts with a great snow hill for the kids to play on. Then it goes down into a gorge with hills on both sides that does keep you warmer on a sunny day, no winds. Trail maps at the top of the hill, parking lot entrance and down at the bottom. The entrance has tables to sit and relax or some lunch. The tails go off in a few directions but you can choose to go clockwise or counter clockwise and still come back to the beginning. Some stairs on the trails and some wooden structures to cross. Perfect for all family members even you're doggies. The trails are all fenced off on both sides and I assume to keep the wooded areas from getting destroyed. But even though everything is fenced in, still very nice, very quiet and you forget this is still in the city. Many people hiking were wearing Ice cleats and maybe a great idea as I was slipping and sliding a few times with snow covering ice areas.

An oasis within the city!
