Survey Says...

In the first month of the 2023 Pop-up Off-Leash Dog Area Pilot Program over 315 survey responses have been submitted! These contributions from residents across the City have provided valuable insights in shaping our community and how we plan Pop-Up Dog Parks.

So, what does the survey say? Well, we know that almost 75% of residents took a healthy mode of transportation to arrive at the Pop-Up Dog Parks - Walking!

By having more parks across the City, we can reduce our dependency on vehicles to access parks/natural spaces, and this may help reduce pollution (in the form of greenhouse gases) while at the same time promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Reminder that the survey is open between Summer 2023 to Spring 2024. We encourage you to take the Pop-Up Dog Parks Survey every time you visit a Pop-Up Dog Park (once per visit).

Thank you for being a part of making Markham a dog-friendly city!
