Description

FOR OUR FULL BOOKING CALENDAR AND MORE INFORMATION PLEASE VISIT: FINNOBIFOREST.CA Finnobi Forest is a fully fenced, private dog park located just outside Arnprior, a short drive from Kanata/Stittsville or 45 minutes from downtown Ottawa. The space is approximately 1 acre and is named after our two dogs, Finn and Obi. We have created a small trail and cleared an area atop the higher point of the forest which provides varied levels of terrain for your dog to explore. There are plenty of trees, bushes and fallen logs that offer a multitude of sniff spots! The forest is a place to relax and simply let your dog be a dog, without you worrying about encountering dogs unknown to you. Your dog can explore, but you know they are safely fenced in the area.

Hazards

We recommend wearing sturdy footwear! The ground is not level and has mixed terrain and may be slippery due to various weather conditions such as rain, snow and ice. At any time the forest may have naturally occurring hazards including but not limited to rocks, tree branches, weeds, fungus, berries, acorns, corn cobs, vines, etc. that have the potential to be harmful to people and/or dogs. Bug spray recommended in the warmer months and ice cleats on your boots are a good idea. We provide some if you don't have any!

I opened Finnobi Forest in September 2023 because I knew so many people that needed a safe space to enjoy time with their dogs off leash and I wanted the same thing for my own dogs, Finn and Obi! Over the past year and a half we have welcomed so many Forest Friends! I am also the Operations Manager for Ottawa Therapy Dogs so you could say that my days have pretty much "gone to the dogs"! I hope you enjoy the calm of the forest with your dogs as much as we do!
