Safe Shared Spaces

The City of Markham’s Pop-Up Dog Parks are intended to provide residents with safe areas where dogs can play, exercise, and socialize. As we prioritize the safety and well-being of all community members, Animal Services emphasizes a zero-tolerance policy for off-leash dogs outside designated areas. This is to allow everyone to enjoy the shared park spaces together and minimize potential for conflicts between dog owners and the broader community. By adhering to leash regulations, residents contribute to a positive experience for everyone, fostering a community that is not only pet-friendly but also respectful of shared spaces. We appreciate the cooperation of all residents in making Markham a dog-friendly city!
