Small Dogs areas

• Mount Pleasant and Māmowimīwēyitamōwin Dog Parks offer a separate "small dogs" area.
• Dogs must be 25 pounds (11kg) or less and no more than 18 inches (46cm) tall.
• It is up to park users to determine if the small dog area is appropriate for their dog.
• All other dog park rules apply.

What maintenance is done in the permanent off-leash areas?

The parks are maintained by the City of Regina. Maintenance consists of mowing, scheduled garbage removal, snow removal to the gate and minor site repairs. We also look to users to help maintain and look after the space by picking up after themselves and their pets.

Why is Cathy Lauritsen not fenced on all sides?

The Cathy Lauritsen Off-Leash Dog Park is located within a floodplain. If fencing had been installed along the creek it would have needed to be set back approximately 100 feet from the creek side, and this would greatly reduce the dog park area. Fencing along the creek would also impede spring runoff and cause ice damming. For this reason, fencing has not been considered for this part of the park.

Has there been discussion about fencing off the creek at Cathy Lauritsen during winter months?

Using any type of barrier device to close off the creek side during winter months would have negative environmental impacts on the park. We recommend that during winter months when the creek is frozen that dog owners stay away from the creek or use at their own risk. Owners and their dogs are advised to stay off the ice due to thin ice concerns. All owners visiting off-leash areas are to have their dog under complete control by either physical or verbal means at all times, according to the Regina Animal Bylaw.

What do I do if my dog is attacked?

Dog owners are to use the off-leash park at their own risk. Unless you are able to get the contact information of the other dog owner and come to an agreement on who will be responsible for the vet bill, it is ultimately your responsibility. Dangerous dogs can be reported to the Regina Humane Society at 306-777-7700.

Do I need to clean up after my dog?

Poop n’ scoop is mandatory. Immediately dispose of any defecation caused by your dog. Failure to pick up after your dog may result in a fine.

Where can I park at the permanent dog parks?

• Cathy Lauritsen, residents can park in the parking lot off of 13^th Avenue, or on the street itself. 
• Ross Industrial, residents can only park on Solomon Crescent.
• Mount Pleasant, residents can park on site
• Māmowimīwēyitamōwin Park, residents can park on-street.
• Horizon Station, residents can park on-street

As a reminder, dogs must be leashed at all times coming to and from any parked cars, for their safety and safety of other residents using the park.
