1. VISIT BLVD BARK

Our team at BLVD has partnered with PARK to bring the most fun, colourful outdoor dog park experience to our neighbourhood here in Beltline.
 
BLVD BARK is a welcoming and open space for pups and humans alike! Everyone can enjoy the Instagrammable vibrant murals, incredible sculptures, and artistic picnic tables in our fully fenced park – which were painted and designed by Kiran Rai, a very talented local YYC-based artist!

BLVD BARK is open to the public, and if you pay BLVD BARK a visit, be sure to tag us in your photos – we would “ruff” to see you and your furry friends!

St. Patrick’s Island is the perfect place for spending your time with family and your dogs! You’ll find a fishing cove, naturalized wetlands, wooded areas with meandering pathways, a playground, and a hill that offers some of the best views in the city. There’s also a monumental public art installation, a completely accessible picnic area and an amphitheater.

4. VISIT PET-FRIENDLY PATIOS DOWNTOWN

There’s no better way to end off the day than to visit a few pet-friendly patios, and there’s a few with some great eats near us at BLVD Beltline. A few that come to mind for us are Flower and Wolf Calgary, Garage Sports Bar, and Bottlescrew Bill’s.
