Dog parks
Enjoy our open spaces and keep your pet and others safe by having your dog on a leash or chain in public areas, except for in designated off-leash areas.
Off leash parks
Our off-leash parks contain dog training, exercise and agility equipment. They are designed to give dogs physical exercise and mental stimulation, which can help prevent behavioural problems.
We encourage all dog owners to use these parks. They're a great place to safely exercise your pet, contribute to your own health and well-being and meet other dog owners.
Conditions of use
Dog owners must keep all dogs under effective control and clean up after them. Under effective control means:
- the dog must return to its owner on command
- the dog must not bother or worry other people or animals.
