Notice of Closure: Temporary Dog Off-Leash Area (68 Sixth Street)

What’s Happening?

The temporary dog off-leash area at 68 Sixth Street will be closed on September 27, 2024. The site is owned by the BC Provincial Rental Housing Corporation (PRHC), who agreed to the temporary use of the site as a dog off-leash area from September 2023 to September 2024. The site is being returned to the PRHC for the construction of the planned supportive housing development.
 
 

Project Background

The 68 Sixth Street temporary dog OLA replaces the Downtown Dog OLA (located at 824 Agnes Street). The existing dog OLA will close permanently at the end of September and will be transformed into a new commemorative community park that will be constructed as part of an adjacent high-rise development at 810 Agnes Street.

Learn more about the 810 Agnes Street development.

What will happen after September 2024, when the temporary dog OLA closes at 68 Sixth Street?

Parks planning staff are actively exploring options for a permanent off-leash space(s) in the Downtown neighbourhood. This may include opportunities on vacant or underutilized lands, as well as the potential for a shared use area or enclosed dog OLA as part of the discussion with the community to develop a Master Plan for Albert Crescent Park towards the end of this year.
