Leash-Free Dog Parks
Leash-free dog parks are fully fenced areas where owners are allowed to have up to two dogs off-leash at a time. They are self-funded by dog walking groups and operate seven days a week from dawn to dusk.
The following leash-free parks are available for you and your dog to enjoy.
- Glenashton Park — located on Glenashton Drive
- Kingsford Gardens — located on Sherwood Heights Drive
- North Park — located on Neyagawa Boulevard
- Palermo Park — located on Dundas Street, east of Bronte Road
- Post Park — located on MacDonald and Chartwell Roads

Outside of leash-free areas, the requirements of the dog control by-law must be met at all times:
- Dogs must be on a leash
- Dogs must wear an up-to-date Town of Oakville license tag
- Owners must "stoop and scoop" their dog's waste
- Owners must maintain control at all times — other dogs and people may not appreciate your dog approaching them

Dogs are not permitted in the following areas under any circumstances:
- The sand base surrounding or beneath playground equipment
