City seeks public feedback on location of new temporary off-leash dog park

The City of Leduc expects to open at least one temporary off-leash dog park next summer and invites residents to provide input on where it might be located. Three sites under consideration are Deer Valley Gardens, Harry Bienert Park, and Suntree Greenspace.  

The survey results and technical considerations such as accessibility, land ownership, and future projects in the park will be used to determine which, if any, neighbourhoods will be piloted. We received 433 completed surveys and now information is being downloaded and evaluated to be presented to council in late 2023/early 2024. These results will be shared once they have been completed.

Details about the proposed off-leash dog park(s): 

• The park(s) will be available from early summer through the fall; hours of operation will be the same as all City park spaces.
• Sites will have temporary fencing, dog waste recepticals and signage that clearly identifies the off-leash boundaries and outlines the responsibilities of dog owners. 
• The park(s) will be open to dogs of all sizes.  

The community is also encouraged to review the existing off-leash dog park locations, which includes a site at William F. Lede Park that is for small dogs only
