CITY DOG PARKS TO HOST “SCOOP THE POOP” EVENT AT ALL DOG PARKS ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2014
Fall frenzy is in the air for both dogs and their owners. With the weather starting to cool off it is a great time to get out and enjoy the seven active off-leash Dog Parks operated by the City of Saskatoon (City). On Saturday, October 4, 2014, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the City and volunteer Dog Park Ambassadors invite everyone to the first annual “Scoop the Poop” event being held at all parks:
- Avalon - south end of Broadway Avenue;
- Briarwood - south of Wilson's Greenhouse on McOrmond Drive;
- Caswell – next to Mayfair Outdoor Pool;
- Hampton Village - north on Range Road 3060, near the airport;
- Silverwood - access off Kinnear Avenue or the east end of Adilman Drive;
- Southwest - off Valley Road by the landfill; and
- Sutherland Beach - west of Central Avenue, north of Attridge Drive.
Come out and meet your Dog Park Ambassador, volunteers, and fellow dog lovers as you join together in keeping your Dog Park clean and welcoming for all visitors. Refreshments and cleaning supplies provided.
With the increased use of Dog Parks, here are a few tips for being a responsible pet owner:
- Pick up after your dog;
- Dogs must stay ON LEASH in all areas of the city unless the area is clearly designated (signed) as an off-leash Dog Park;
- Dogs must be licensed to enjoy Dog Parks; and
- Please be considerate and courteous to other people and children enjoying the outdoors and keep in mind that not everyone is comfortable around dogs, even friendly ones.
