We are planning a new off-leash dog area in Bridgwater Trails.

Off-leash dog areas are places where dogs can run and play without a leash. They offer a place for people and dogs to exercise and socialize. We want to create off-leash areas that are safe, easy to access, and fit well within the surrounding community.

We chose a one-hectare area at the north end of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Park, that contains an unprogrammed baseball diamond. We will install a fence to separate the dog area from the rest of the park. The off-leash area will be about the size of two Canadian football fields.

This will be a community off-leash area. We design this type of off-leash area for residents and their dogs who live within a 10-minute drive.

The design features:

  • Two entrances
  • Separate fenced areas for large and small dogs
  • Secure fencing
  • Benches/seating
  • Open areas for running
  • Climbing logs
  • Garbage cans
  • New shade trees
  • By-law/enforcement information signage
