Off Leash in the Off Leash Zone
Trinity Bellwoods has one of the largest off-leash areas for dogs in all Toronto City parks – the pit (or bowl) – which lies between Dundas and Queen Streets and is accessible using either roads and stairs from both the north and south ends of the park.

Please let your dogs off leash in this area only. This area was designated as off leash with the support of the community, and if the community becomes concerned about dogs running off leash in other parts of the park, that community support can be withdrawn and the off leash area can be revoked.

Control your Dog at All Times

LIFE SCIENCE

Bird Transit Lounge
Every year, from late August to early October, there is a fantastic gathering of birds at sunset in the trees near the intersection of Lobb and Crawford Street. The birds, possibly Grackles, appear to gather in the trees prior to heading off on their winter migration. Some locals call it the “Bird Transit Lounge”. For a short while, it sounds like the deepest, wildest jungle... a fantastic racket, when suddenly, in complete synchronization, the birds fall silent... and then, all together, they start up their chattering again. In addition to making people nervous by swarming the trees, the birds swirl and swoop through the air like an aerial school of fish.
