ENJOY THE CITY OF SASKATOON’S NEWEST DOG PARK

With the summer heating up, it is a great opportunity to visit Saskatoon’s newest Dog Park!  Hyde Park Dog Park officially opened Wednesday June 3, 2015.  Located in the Rosewood neighbourhood, off Boychuck Drive and Slimmon Road, is a fenced, 4.1 acre, off-leash space fully equipped with pet waste bags and garbage receptacles.

There are also five more active Dog Parks conveniently located throughout the city.  The following Dog Parks are available for all well-behaved and licensed dogs:

• Avalon - south end of Broadway Avenue;
• Caswell - next to the Mayfair Pool;
• Silverwood - access off Kinnear Avenue or the east end of Adilman Drive;
• Southwest - off Valley Road by the landfill; and
• Sutherland Beach - west off Central Avenue, just north of Attridge Drive.

 With many people and pets enjoying the city this summer, remember these tips to being a responsible pet owner:

• Pick up after your pet;
• Keep pets on-leash in all areas of the city, unless the area is clearly designated (signed) as a Dog Park; and
• Be considerate and courteous to other people enjoying the outdoors, and keep in mind that not everyone is comfortable around dogs, even friendly ones.
