The City is improving the off-leash area for dogs in Baird Park. The improvements will include new fencing, surfacing and accessibility upgrades.
The timeline is subject to change.
Construction for the off-leash area improvements will start in mid-September and is anticipated to continue until late 2026. Improvements to the playground are also being completed, and sections of adjacent pathways will be temporarily closed during construction.
The nearest off-leash areas are located at Earlscourt Park and High Park.
The project is in the detailed design phase where the technical details are finalized for the improved off-leash area. A construction team will be hired in summer 2026.
