Yes. Humber Bay Park West has a fenced dogs off-leash area, open 6 am to midnight. The City's list shows no drinking water at the area. Keep your dog on a leash in the rest of the park.
Last checked 22 October 2026. Rules change, so read the signs at the entrance.
Rules for dogs
- Off-leash hours: 6 am to midnight. (City of Toronto, Dogs Off-Leash Areas list)
- Fully fenced, on grass and dirt, about 6,200 square metres. The City's list shows no drinking water at the area. (City of Toronto, Dogs Off-Leash Areas list) Our tip: bring water for your dog.
- Commercial dog walkers may use it. (City of Toronto, Dogs Off-Leash Areas list; City of Toronto, Humber Bay Park West page)
- Everywhere outside the off-leash area, keep your dog on a leash no longer than 2 metres. Letting it run loose elsewhere can cost up to $615: a $500 fine plus surcharges. (Toronto Municipal Code, ch. 349, § 349-12.1; City of Toronto, Responsible Dog Ownership; City of Toronto, Dogs Off-Leash)
- In every City park, dogs may not go into playgrounds, splash pads, wading pools, sports fields, tennis courts, rinks or toboggan hills, or anywhere posted to keep dogs out. (Toronto Municipal Code, ch. 608, § 608-1 and § 608-34)
- City rules in every off-leash area: your dog must be licensed and vaccinated, and stay in your sight and under your control; never leave it there alone. Dogs with a history of biting, pit bulls and females in heat may not go in, and no training or electronic devices. Pick up the poop: the City has Green Bins in its off-leash areas. (City of Toronto, Dogs Off-Leash; Toronto Municipal Code, ch. 608, § 608-34)
The rest of the park
The park juts out into Lake Ontario in the west end. The City calls it an excellent spot for bird watchers, with ducks wintering along its shores, and suggests a loop with Humber Bay Park East. It has several parking lots and paved paths. (City of Toronto, Humber Bay Park West page)
