In November 2020, our dog park opened to the community of paw-rents and their dogs!
The off-leash area is 0.46 hectares (1.14 acres) in size, and the perfect place for both small and large dogs to lose the leash and run, jump and play.

Features:

  • Seating
  • Shaded areas
  • Water supply
  • Separate areas for small and large dogs
  • Secure double gate entry
  • Dog-friendly landscaping (grass and woodchip)

Please read the following rules before coming to Dogsview Park.

Here’s a fun fact:
In October 2021, we held our first-ever event at Dogsview Park: Howl-o-ween Unleashed (which was a huge success!). As a result, we now have an album with 150+ photos of adorable dogs in costumes on our Facebook page

P.S. Howl-o-ween Unleashed will be making a comeback, so stay tuned!
