Off-Leash Dog Area, Little Lake Park

There is one fenced-in area within Little Lake Park where dogs can be off leash. This park is open to all dogs with a current dog licence. The off-leash dog area is open May 1 – October 31.

In response to feedback from the community, the Town recently piloted an increase in winter maintenance service by adding snow clearing activities on the road that leads to the Little Lake Park off-leash dog area. This increase in service came into effect on January 13, 2026, and remained in effect for the remainder of the 2025/26 winter season. The interior of the off-leash dog area continued to not be maintained in the winter.
