Grimsby offers dog owners access to well-maintained leash-free parks where dogs can run, play, and socialize in a safe, fenced environment. These dedicated off-leash areas provide space for both large and small dogs to enjoy outdoor recreation.
The Town of Grimsby provides leash-free dog park facilities operated in partnership with the Grimsby Leash-Free Dog Park Association. The parks are fully fenced, include double-gated entry systems, separate areas for small and large dogs, waste disposal stations, and seating for owners. These parks are open year-round and maintained with the support of the community to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all users.
