The Municipality is proud to work with the Strathroy-Caradoc Dog Owners Association to operate and maintain the Strathroy Dog Park. The off-leash dog park features nearly 5 acres of open green space, benches, lighting, shade trees, and two fenced areas for off-leash play with controlled gate access. Hand pump ground water is also available (not for human consumption) to provide dogs with access to water, except during the winter season.
Open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily.
The off-leash dog park is located at 500 York Street (at intersection of Carroll St. E./Glengyle Drive) in Strathroy.

| Conditions of Use |
|
In an effort to promote safety within the off-leash park, the Municipality has developed the following conditions of use. These are not intended to hinder or limit anyone, but to prevent altercations and issues for dogs and owners. If the rules are followed, many problems can be avoided. Dog owners must take the initiative to be responsible and conscientious in their use of the park, ensuring that their actions support the privilege of sharing parkland and open spaces with the community. The following conditions of use apply: 1 ) Use the off-leash dog park at your own risk. 2) Up-to-date vaccinations and license tags must be on your dog’s collar at all times. 3) Leash your dog while entering and exiting. 4) Keep your dog within sight and under verbal control. 5) Do not allow your dog to chase wildlife. 6) Fill the holes if your dog digs. 7) Pick up poop. Failure to remove excrement could result in a $105 fine. 8) No glass containers are allowed at this park. 9) Help keep the park clean. 10) No puppies under 4 months of age, female dogs in heat, sick dogs, or aggressive/out of control dogs. 11) No play toys, balls, dog treats, or human food allowed at this park (any of these could cause aggressive behaviour to occur). 12) Children must be supervised by an adult at all times. Unsupervised children under 14 years of age are not permitted at this park. You are responsible for your own children and their behaviour. 13) Off-leash area users are subject to the Dog Owners’ Liability Act and the Strathroy-Caradoc Animal Care & Control By-law. |
