Park9 Downtown Toronto is a supervised dog daycare (Playcare) and grooming facility designed for dog owners living and working in the Distillery District, Corktown, St. Lawrence, and the wider Downtown Toronto core.
Dogs of all sizes are welcome, but the facility specializes in small dogs. Whether your dog needs daytime companionship, extra exercise, or intellectual stimulation and socialization, Playcare is built around enrichment, play, and rest.
The Downtown location was chosen because it is both walkable and between popular TTC streetcar and bus routes. Inside, Playcare is outfitted with large playrooms, play equipment, and an experienced team focused on your dog’s happiness.
At the end of the day, your dog goes home tired and relaxed — what Park9 affectionately calls the #Park9hangover.
Prior to attending daycare, all dogs must be registered and complete a Meet & Greet assessment, where the team confirms that Park9 Playcare is the right fit for your dog.
Park9 also publishes transparent pricing and streams live webcams from every playroom.

“We have been using Park 9 for 8 years and our doggie loves this place. We have done daycare at the downtown location, boarding at the Pearson location and grooming at both. Lovely, caring staff and a great experience all around.”
“Excellent Grooming and Playcare Experience. We dropped our pup off for the day and returned to a beautifully groomed, clean and happy pup. We appreciated that our dog was able to experience a fun day but also come back groomed.”
“We love this place, and most importantly, so does our Frenchie, Olive! If you utter the words "Park 9" she gets so excited and immediately waits by the front door until we head over. It's conveniently located downtown which makes it great to send her to playcare weekly. The webcams on their website are great for new pet owners who can peek on their babies to see them having a blast. Their prices are reasonable, too! Last year we tried their boarding and we thought it was good too! We got a bunch of photos while we were away, and getting the option to pick her up at the boarding facility the night of our arrival near Pearson was great.”
“Park9 Distillery District is the gold standard for doggy daycare. Our basenji Jimmy gives it five stars. Big play areas for large and small dogs allow for great socialization with all kinds of dogs. Professional, knowledgeable and friendly staff make the booking, drop-off and pick-up process a breeze. Jimmy comes home tired and happy after a day at Park9.”
“Park9 is an incredible place. The staff is amazing and really cares for your furry friends. We utilize their playcare, boarding, and grooming at both Distillery and Pearson. We tried multiple places before we found Park9 and they are honestly the best in the city!”
