Dogs in Parks

Dogs that are leashed and under control are permitted at our Day-Use Parks.  Dog owners are responsible to immediately remove and dispose of any dog waste (poop and scoop).  Dogs are not permitted in the beach area or to swim at Kendrick's Park. 

Currently the Township does not have any designated off-leash Dog Parks. For the nearest ones check our neighboring dog parks in Gananoque, Kingston and Brockville.

A service animal is trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability and therefore accompany people with disabilities in all areas where members of the public are allowed to go.
