Glendora Park New Off-Leash Area

Stop by a pop-up event at Avondale Park on August 6, 2025, to learn about the project and provide feedback.

The City is planning a new off-leash area at Glendora Park and will pilot one proposed location this summer to gather feedback from park users. The temporary off-leash area will be installed in the east corner of the park, near the tennis court and tobogganing hill. Feedback collected during the pilot, along with input from an online survey about all three proposed locations, will help determine the preferred location.

  • Mid-July to Late September 2025: Temporary off-leash area open to the public (pilot period)
  • Summer 2025: Two surveys open: one collecting feedback from users of the temporary off-leash area, and another gathering broader community input on the three proposed locations for a future off-leash area
  • Fall 2025: Community feedback reviewed and final location identified

The timeline is subject to change.

Located northeast of the tobogganing hill, this site is farther from main park features and closer to Glendora Avenue. It is approximately 1,300 square metres in size. This location is all-season.

Option 3

Located directly adjacent to the toboggan hill, the area stretches from the tennis courts to the eastern boundary of the park. The area outlined in red would be permanent (approximately 1,300 square metres), while the remainder – approximately 4,600 square metres – would be seasonal, operating as an off-leash area from May to November and as a toboggan hill from December to March. A temporary off-leash area will be piloted at this location in summer 2025.
