Exercising Your Dog

The Town has designated on-leash and off-leash dog exercise areas, as well as time-restricted zones and prohibited areas. Dogs are not permitted in playgrounds.

Download the Dog Exercise Areas Map(PDF, 2MB) or search for a park online and filter by features to locate an exercise area near you.

In off-leash areas, your dog may run freely, but you must follow these rules to avoid on-the-spot fines:

  • A person capable of controlling the dog must be near it at all times.

  • Always carry a leash to quickly regain control if needed.

  • Remove and dispose of any dog waste immediately.

  • Dogs must not chase or harass any person, animal, or bird.

  • Remember: even playful dogs can make others feel uneasy.

The Town provides red dog waste bags and matching red bins in all dog exercise areas. If bags are unavailable, it remains the dog owner’s responsibility to clean up after their pet.
