Local Off-Leash Dog Area Strategy
Page Content

 
The City of Vaughan recognizes the value local off-leash dog areas bring to dogs and their families. In June 2021, Council endorsed the Local Off-Leash Dog Area Strategy (PDF), which identified a need to find spaces for pets to safely roam free. Now, after extensive public consultation, five local off-leash dog areas are under construction in the city of Vaughan and are expected to be ready for public use in summer 2022, weather permitting. Once construction is complete, new local off-leash dog areas will be located in the following parks at these planned dates (weather permitting):
 
  • Mackenzie Glen District Park (PDF) - Construction completed and open for public use
  • Matthew District Park (PDF) - Construction completion week of May 30, 2022
  • Chancellor District Park (PDF) - Construction completion week of June 27, 2022
  • Sugarbush Heritage Park (PDF) - Construction completion week of June 13, 2022
  • Legion Park (PDF) - Construction completion week of July 18, 2022

 

A new proposed location in Thornhill

In addition to these parks, the City is currently reviewing options for an additional off-leash dog area to serve the Thornhill community. From Tuesday, March 22 to Tuesday, April 22, the City invited the community to review three potential locations for a new off-leash dog area in the Thornhill community and provide feedback on their desired location.

Thank you to those who participated! Your feedback will help the City determine the final recommended Thornhill community off-leash dog area location by June 2022.
