Off Leash Areas

Dog parks are a great way for dogs and owners to have fun and make new friends. By following the rules of the park, being considerate of other owners and dogs, and closely supervising your own dog, you will contribute to the safe and inviting atmosphere many parks provide.

The Town has two areas where dogs may walk off of their leashes:

 

Rugged Fitness Trail

This trail is located along the shoreline north-west of the Salt Docks on Salt Dock Rd.

Yvonne Williams Park Dog Park

This park is located at the corner of William St. and Mill Lake Rd. Within the park there is a fenced area labelled as the "Dog Park". This is where dogs may be let off of their leashes.
