Off Leash Dog Park

An Off Leash Dog Park has been developed on the north-east boundary of Rotary Park. Your four-legged friend can take part in special off leash privileges while you relax and enjoy the outdoors. The fenced park is an area where well-mannered dogs can enjoy a good run, or socialize with other dogs, while under the supervision of their owner.

Dogs in Rotary Park

Pets must be under the owner's control (leashed) when visiting Rotary Park.  Dogs are not permitted on park features (River Slides, Splash Park, Playground), in the pond or on the sportsfields (per Bylaw 1414 - Animal Control). Pet owner's are encouraged to visit the Off Leash Dog Park in the north-east corner of the Park if their pets need some time to roam and run.
