News Releases

As the weather gets warmer, many are looking for opportunities to get outside and the City’s Dog Parks are a great place for dogs and owners to get exercise and socialize. The City currently operates 13 dog parks at various locations throughout Saskatoon. Each Dog Park has unique natural and manmade amenities that provide different experiences for dogs and their owners to enjoy. From small urban parks such as Pierre Radisson and Caswell to large rural spaces like Chief Whitecap and Hampton Village and even dedicated spaces for small dogs at Hyde and Charlottetown, there are a variety of off-leash spaces available to explore.

In 2023, the Animal Services team completed a number of Dog Park upgrades including adding the two Dog Parks dedicated for small dogs, installing concrete pads at the entrances to 8 Dog Parks to prevent soil erosion and posting new signage reminding users to be responsible pet owners when visiting off-leash areas.

For 2024, new shared pathway signs and pathway markings will be installed this spring at Silverwood Dog Park. Silverwood Dog Park features an asphalt pathway that is shared by pedestrians, cyclists, dogs and their owners. Markings down the middle of the pathway will separate traffic flow, providing a split roadway for users to travel though the park space. The Animal Services team would like to remind park users to share the pathway, follow the markings and posted signs, be aware of your surroundings and travel at a slow speed when cycling through this shared space.

Dog owners are reminded of their responsibilities when enjoying off-leash time with their pet. Here are some reminders for a safe and successful off-leash experience:

• All dogs must have a valid Pet License.
• Bring a leash. Use when entering and exiting the Dog Park.
• Keep your dog in sight and under control. Off-leash doesn’t mean unattended.
• Pick up your dog’s poop and drop it in available waste containers.
• Be prepared! Attend a free Behaviour Awareness Training session held throughout the summer at Dog Parks to learn basic training tips, recognizing and understanding dog behaviour, how to have a more PAWsitive off-leash experience with your dog and more. Dates will be announced online.

Most importantly, have fun! When dogs and owners play by the rules, everyone has a good time. If you have concerns regarding nuisance behaviour of a dog while at the Dog Park, contact the Saskatoon Animal Control Agency at 306-385-PETS.
