In this article, I want to give you a bit more than just the list of parks. So here are some of the best green spaces to walk your dog in Bordeaux metropole. Berges de La Garonne is one of the hidden gems of this region. Take your dog for a walk along the river and enjoy the metallic sculptures along the way. Where to park: You can park near Cultura in the main parking of the shopping center and go in the direction of the Garonne river until you see the park.
You can equally find parking at the port of Begles and start the walk from the northern part of the park. The Thouars forest is located on the border of Talence and Gradignan and has 4km of walking paths in the woods and around the lake as well as different sports facilities. The hilly path around the lake is especially beautiful and is a great adventure for dogs and kids alike. The path follows the Bourde stream that goes through Gradignan and continues to Canejan, a great hiking path for the more avid walkers among you.
Where to park: There are several parking spots around the mills at Chemin des Moulins, Gradignan. How about a hike in a magical forest with a beautiful lake where your dog can swim? It has plenty of trails that are perfect not only for hiking but also for cycling.
Moving on to rive droite to the beautiful Domaine de la Burthe in Floirac. This park is part of a beautiful forest and is a perfect place for hiking and for spending the day enjoying the hidden spots between the trees. The place is also home to the equestrian center so you can see plenty of horses all over the park.
