A new local off-leash dog area is coming to Pierre Elliott Trudeau Park

View the plan and provide your input until April 9

A new fenced-in local off-leash dog area is coming soon to Pierre Elliott Trudeau Park (60 Promenade Cir.) – and you can have a say before the plans are finalized! 

Vaughan is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada – and its dog population is growing too! There’s a need for safe and secure spaces for dogs and their families to exercise outdoors, socialize and roam safely, so the City of Vaughan continues to add off-leash dog areas across the community. 

The new local off-leash dog area at Pierre Elliott Trudeau Park will feature separate secure, fenced-in spaces for small and large dog breeds to safely exercise and socialize. It will also have a combination of woodchip and natural turf, as well as signage, picnic tables and waste bins.

We want your feedback!

How we're keeping off-leash dog areas safe 

Each of the City’s off-leash areas has a locked gate providing safe access for residents with dogs. This fenced area is always separated from playgrounds and other park facilities. These spaces enable dogs, their families and park visitors to safely co-exist and enjoy all that Vaughan’s outdoor amenities have to offer. To learn more, watch this video.

To read more about Off-Leash Zone Regulations, see the Animal Control By-law (PDF). For general information about Animal Services, visit vaughan.ca/AnimalServices.
