Off-Leash Dog Parks

When planning new off-leash parks for your four-legged friends, the City considers guidelines set out in the Off-Leash Dog Park Policy to create a safe space for off-leash fun.

What makes a good off-leash park?

  1. New parks should be a minimum of 1.5 acres (that’s the size of four hockey rinks)
  2. Parks must be located 15 metres from park amenities like playground equipment and splash pads
  3. To limit neighbourhood noise, the off-leash area should have good separation from residences
