A new, temporary Downtown Dog Off Leash Area at 68 Sixth Street (between Agnes Street and Victoria Street) in will open in mid-September. This temporary space will be available for approximately 10 months and will be fully fenced with a double-gate entry, wood mulch surfacing and a dog waste receptacle.

The 68 Sixth Street is a short walk from the previous site (see map below) and will provide an interim Off Leash Area in the heart of Downtown until a new location is determined.
