Parks
City of Kenora operates and maintains several seasonal parks. These recreation facilities are open May 1st to September 1st from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. unless otherwise posted. You can rent our parks and green spaces for public gatherings and events.
Please be considerate of others enjoying theses recreational spaces. Always be water safe.
We appreciate your help in keeping our parks in great condition. If you notice any areas that need our attention or maintenance, please submit a Request for Service.

You may rent select areas of a park for events, such as celebrations of life, weddings, BBQs of 50 or more people. Park rentals are limited to privately reserving green spaces, gazebos, and picnic areas. Beaches or booking the park in its entirety are not permitted, as these are spaces meant for public enjoyment. Please note that school trips to the park do not require a booking.

Off-leash dog park
The only place where your pup can run free is the Kenora Dog Park, located on Fifth Street South behind the A&W ballfield. It’s a great spot for dogs to run, play, and socialize off-leash.
The off-leash dog park is a secure, 2.5-acre fenced area with two separate sections: one for puppies and small breeds, and the other for large dogs. This layout helps ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all pets.
The dog park features walking paths, benches, agility equipment, and lighting for evening visits. Additionally, a repurposed fire hydrant provides fresh City water, keeping your pet hydrated while they enjoy their time at the park.
Keep your dog under care and control at all times. Please clean up after your dog to keep the park clean and pleasant for everyone using the off-leash park.
