Courtice Leash Free Dog Park

All municipal leash-free dog parks are open.

Park users must keep a two-metre distance from another person who is not a member of their household. Practise strict physical distancing and stay safe. Bring your own hand sanitizer. If possible, wear a non-medical mask. 

Clarington's leash-free dog parks in Bowmanville, Courtice and Newcastle are places where dogs can run free and owners can enjoy exercising with their pets outdoors.
