Dog park, bike park and skateboard park

Whether you have fur babies or human babies, Moose Jaw has several parks in which your children can burn off energy by running around or by riding around on their bikes and skateboards.

Dog park

There is an off-leash dog park located on the corner of 16th Avenue Southwest and Manitoba Street — on the west end of Hamilton Flats — that caters to both small dogs and big dogs. Dogs less than 18 inches in height should use the small dog park while dogs taller than 18 inches are expected to use the big dog park. There is a dog house entrance that pets can go through to determine in which field they should play. There are also dog stations, garbage cans and tunnels for dogs to run through and play in. Accessible pathways have been made available for people with disabilities. The City of Moose Jaw reminds dog owners, however, that all pets must be licensed. This means you must obtain an animal licence from city hall before your dog can use the park.

Bike park

Moose Jaw is host to a great mountain bike skills park that is the first of its kind in Saskatchewan. Close to one acre in size, this site is located near a major city thoroughfare — 1220 High Street West — and is adjacent to the Yara Centre, a sports fieldhouse and soccer centre. The area is a very visible central node and recreation location for the community, with opportunities to connect with local municipal trails for walking and hiking. This bike park caters to riders of all skill levels and abilities while also providing natural obstacles and engineered features.

Skateboard park

Moose Jaw’s multipurpose skate park is located near the corner of Ninth Avenue Northwest and MacDonald Street West. The lights are on from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily. The current design of the park consists of an asphalt surface of 30 metres by 34 metres with five concrete structures. These include a banked wall, spine, transitioned wall, fun box with handrails and a pyramid in the centre. This accommodates skateboards, inline blades and BMX enthusiasts.
