Proposed Off-Leash Dog Enclosure in Iroquois Park or Tulista Park
When Sidney developed its Parks Master Plan in 2018, residents highlighted the need for a dedicated fenced green space where dogs could run off-leash, particularly in East Sidney.
Since then, community members have continued to raise this request.
Following two rounds of public engagement in 2025, Council decided on Janaury 12, 2026 to advance a proposal for an off-leash dog enclosure in Iroquois Park for consideration in the 2026 budget.
Community members were asked to provide feedback on potential locations at Iroquois Park or Tulista Park, with stronger support expressed for Iroquois Park.
The dog park would be a small enclosed area as shown below, and could have a separated area for large and small dogs.
Budget meetings will take place in February and March 2026.
