The City of Toronto is running a study to find out how the City’s existing Dog Off-Leash Areas (OLAs) can be improved to accommodate an increasing human and dog population.
Study Goals
- Improve existing OLAs through better design, maintenance and operation
- Encourage healthy relationships between dog owners and non-dog owners
- Elevate OLAs as spaces that provide a healthy, safe, accessible and sustainable environment
- Develop guidelines to ensure consistent maintenance and operation across Toronto
- Develop design recommendations that can be applied to all existing OLAs
- Improve community involvement and develop future ongoing partnerships
Pup-Up events at 10 of the City’s Off-Leash Areas will be held to engage with park users this month.
At the ‘Pup’-Ups the City and its consultant team will share and seek feedback on preliminary City-wide recommendations being developed as part of the study to help improve the City’s existing Off-Leash Areas.

All the Pup-Ups will take place within or adjacent to the Off-Leash Areas.
