Work will start this week on a new off-leash dog park that will be located adjacent to the community ice rink on Southridge Avenue between St. Anthony Crescent and Dakelh Ti.
The spot was chosen for its off-street parking and central location.
The construction that starts this week includes general utility and earthworks, final surface grading and fence installation.
The budget for this project comes from the $75,000 approved 2024 capital funding for the Off Leash Area program.
The goal is to open the park by early summer.
Residents are reminded of the pet park regulations:
- Dogs must remain under the owner's control and supervision.
- With the exception of designated off-leash park areas, all pets must be on a leash when in public.
- Owners must carry a leash with them at all times.
- Use the pet waste stations.
- Observe pet etiquette rules and all other rules and regulations when visiting a park with pets.
