Jack Darling is a massive 22-acre off-leash fully fenced dog park with a dedicated small dog area &#8211; it\u2019s one of our top 3 favourite dog parks ever!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to its massive size, there\u2019s still plenty of space to run around and find a quiet space for you and your pooch to enjoy &#8211; even on the busiest of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If weekend crowds are an issue at Cherry Beach for you (especially during the weekend), but you still want to enjoy an off-leash beach day with your dog, I\u2019d suggest trying your luck visiting the slightly less popular, but nearby: <strong>Kew-Balmy Beach Dog Park<\/strong> instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Disclaimer:<\/em> <em>We haven\u2019t been to Kew-Balmy Beach Dog Park yet &#8211; so take this recommendation with a grain of salt.

I\u2019d highly recommend visiting the warm waters of Lake Erie at <a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/long-point-provincial-park-review-spending-a-dog-friendly-afternoon-swimming-in-ontarios-warmest-waters\/\">Long Point Provincial Park<\/a> too! They have much softer sand, gentle sand bars perfect for dogs that like to wade, and incredibly warm waters too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7200_489dff-4e,
