The City is adding a new off-leash area for dogs to the open space on the north side of Lawrence Avenue East and Starspray Boulevard. The off-leash area design will be determined through community engagement and is proposed to also include accessible pathway(s) and seating.
While we aim to provide fully accessible content, there is no text alternative available for some of the content on this site. If you require alternate formats or need assistance understanding our maps, drawings, or any other content, please contact Sung Sim at 647-567-1571.
The timeline is subject to change.

Take the online survey to help shape the new off-leash area by sharing your thoughts on two design options. The project team will use this community feedback to develop the final design.
The survey results will be shared on this page.

This project has been classified as a Consult project based on the International Association of Public Participation Spectrum. This means we collect and consider public feedback on proposed design options to inform the development of a final off-leash area design.
Two design options for the off-leash area will be presented to the community for feedback, which will inform the development of a final design. Both designs comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, are similar in size and cost about the same amount.

Design Option A is 759 square metres, measuring 11 metres wide by 69 metres long.
Design Option A includes:
Design Option B is 825 square metres, measuring 11 metres wide by 75 metres long.
