Pilot Project: Shared Use Off-Leash Area, Albert Crescent Park

Since July 2024, the pilot project off-leash area at Albert Crescent Park has been active. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all, please follow these important dog etiquette tips:

Take a leash: Owners must carry a leash at all times. Any dog displaying aggressive behavior must be leashed immediately to ensure safety.

Well-trained dogs only: This off-leash area is intended for dogs with excellent recall and obedience skills. Dogs that do not return immediately when called or dig holes should use a different area.

Not for training: The off-leash area is not suitable for dog training. For training sessions, fenced areas during non-peak hours are recommended for the safety of all park users.

Stay attentive and keep dogs within the designated area: Owners must always watch their dogs and ensure they stay within the designated area while they are off-leash. Distractions such as mobile phones should be avoided.

Clean up: Please keep the area pleasant for everyone. Bring baggies and dispose in provided bins.

Visit the project page for detailed information including a map of the area, hours of use, frequently asked questions, and how to provide feedback during the pilot period.
