Thank you to all who shared their feedback and ideas during the Temporary Off-Leash Dog Park trial period. The trial period has now concluded. Survey responses received will help inform a future Council decision on establishing a permanent off-leash dog park location.
The Village has explored options for an off-leash dog park since 2015, as first recommended in the Village’s Age-Friendly Action Plan (2015), and most recently in the draft Parks and Trails Master Plan (2025).
The temporary off-leash dog park will be available for users from late September until December 1, 2025, from dawn until dusk.
The purpose of the trial is to:
Minimize permanent infrastructure costs while gauging community use
Collect data and feedback on operations, maintenance, and neighbourhood impacts
Inform a future Council decision on establishing a permanent location.
The dog park is located south of the sports courts at Spring Park. The temporary off-leash dog park is a shared space for large and small dogs.
