The dog-park bag

Water plus a collapsible bowl, twice as many poop bags as you expect to need, a leash for the parking lot and the gate, and a towel for the ride home. If recall is still a project, a 10-metre long line gives freedom without the risk.

Choosing the right park for your dog

Not every off-leash area suits every dog. Fencing is the first thing to check: a fully fenced park with a double-gated entry is the only safe choice for escape artists and unreliable recall. Separate small-dog areas matter if your dog is under about 15 kg -- being bowled over by a boisterous large breed is no one's idea of fun. Surface counts too: grass is kindest on joints, while gravel and wood chips can be rough on paws and get surprisingly hot in sun.

First visit to a new park

Walk the perimeter on-leash before unclipping: check the fence line for gaps, note where the water is, and watch the resident dogs for a few minutes. Keep the first session short and end it yourself while things are going well -- your dog will remember the park as the place good things happen.

Off-leash etiquette that keeps parks open

Vaccinated and licensed. Most parks require it; all of them assume it.
Watch your dog, not your phone. Off-leash is a privilege that depends on owners paying attention.
Pick it up. Every time, no exceptions -- this is the number-one reason parks get complaints.
Know your dog. Reactive or unneutered dogs and puppies under four months generally do not belong in busy off-leash parks.
Leave when it is not working. If your dog is overwhelmed or overwhelming others, a short walk beats a bad incident.

Frequently asked questions

Do dog parks cost anything?

Public off-leash parks are almost always free. If a park ever charges, it will say so on its own signage.

Are the dog parks fenced?

Fencing varies by park and is not always tagged in map data. Treat any park as unfenced until you have walked it yourself.

How many off-leash dog parks are here?

0 are currently mapped in open data. The list above names each one.

What if my dog does not like the park?

Not every dog is a dog-park dog, and that is fine. Leashed walks, sniff spots and playdates suit plenty of dogs better than a busy off-leash crowd.
