7. Discovery Dog Park

400 Park Ave San Jose, CA 95110 | map

This petite park is a shady downtown dog oasis that makes the most of a little-used urban landscape. The long, skinny, fenced park is surrounded by shade trees, and has dog water fountains to quench puppy thirst after a long morning of fetch.

Don’t feel guilty if you can’t find the time to exercise your pup sufficiently if you’re in Toronto. There are plenty of local dog walkers you can hire to take your four-legged friend out and about!
