off leash dog park

Cobourg Has a Leash-Free Dog Park 

We are pleased to offer all dog owner's the opportunity to let their pups run leash-free in our Cobourg's leash-free dog park is a place where dogs can run free. The park is conveniently situated at 700 Ontario Street. View Map.

When visiting leash-free parks, be aware that there are unleashed dogs at play. You are entering the park at your own risk. Parents should supervise their children at all times. With the exception of designated leash-free parks and private property, all dogs must be on a leash.

Dog Park Information

Dog Etiquette in Parks

 

In addition to knowing when and where dogs are allowed off leash, there are some simple rules for dog owners to follow:

  • You are responsible for the actions of your dog.
  • Ensure you have control of your dog at all times, whether on or off the leash.
  • Stay with your dog at all times.
  • Owners should carry a leash at all times.
  • You may have a maximum of three dogs off the leash at one time.
  • No aggressive dogs are allowed.
  • Pick up and dispose of your dog's waste.
  • Make sure your dog is wearing a current licence tag on its collar and has current vaccinations.

Pit bulls must be muzzled and leashed at all times (Dog Owners Liability Act R.S.O 1990 C.D.16 Ontario Regulation 157/05).

Potential Fines

Animal Control bylaw enforcement takes place at all parks. Dog owners who do not have proper control of their pet or who do not follow the off-leash rules can face fines.Failure to clean up after your dog may result in a $100 Provincial Offences ticket, or upon summary conviction, a possible fine of up to $5,000 (exclusive of costs).

There is one Town park where dogs can run leash-free:
