Located just two minutes off Highway 3. If you're passing through Fernie and your fur buddy needs to vent some energy, this is the perfect spot to take a driving break. Also just a couple of minutes from downtown Fernie should you need to grab a refreshment or two before heading back on the road.

Dog Park Etiquette

• Please remember to clean up after your dog. Waste bags and bins are available throughout the park and are managed by volunteers.
• Watch your dog at all times at the park. This is your opportunity to set boundaries for your dog of acceptable behaviour.
• Leave dog toys at home that your dog gets protective over, especially if they show aggressive signs of resource-guarding. This is a common initiator for an altercation between dogs.
• Please be courteous to other dogs and owners, and exercise consent tests. If your dog is pursuing a less-willing dog, consider reining him or her back in for a moment to allow the second dog to decide if they want to play in this manner.

How to find the park

The Railyard Dog Park is found southeast of downtown just over the railway line. From downtown Fernie, cross over the railway crossing by Gearhub, and turn left onto a gravel path leading past the Fernie Skate Park. There is space for parking next to the Skate Park, and also at the northeast end of the park just off Ridgemont Avenue.
