Great Western Park (Windsor)


Name: Great Western Park
Location: Riverside Drive East & Parent Avenue, Windsor
Website: not found

Dog Notes:

  • Must use leash
  • There are lots of garbage cans along the path
  • Waste bags are available at some of the parking lots but on this day they were empty
  • Washrooms are available during the day in front of the casino
  • Paved and gravel trails (1.6 km round trip if you go from the parking lot on Parent to the casino and back)

Family Notes:
  • Lots of benches and some picnic tables
  • Some shade along the waterfront but mostly open
  • Lots of playground equipment and swings
  • Walk, run, bike or rollerblade (fully accessible)
  • In front of the casino there is a bike rental and ice cream stand (ice cream, slushies, hot dogs, chips); bike rental for Monday & Tuesday was $6/hr for 2 bikes with child cart available (for an additional fee)
  • Washrooms are open during the day

Notes:
Bring a lot of water as there is not much shade and on a hot day, your dog may need to take frequent breaks. Bring some cash to enjoy a snack at the ice cream place and sit at one of their shaded picnic tables.
