Off-Leash Dog Parks

There are a number of areas in the city where your dog can have an off-leash adventure. To be off leash, your dog must be able to respond to your verbal commands, and remember, you are responsible for cleaning up all dog waste.

Off-leash areas

Dogs are allowed off leash in the following areas:

• Chines Park (Jane Street at Hugh Street)
• in Bert Flinn Park on the wide gravel trail that starts at Heritage Mountain Boulevard and David Avenue and on the Morning Off-Leash Mini Loop (Pilot) between 6am–10am only. Please note dogs must be on-leash everywhere else in the park at all times. Non-compliance may result in a ticket issued (Bylaw No. 3343)
• the north end of Westhill Park (203 Westhill Place)
• the fenced dog run at Rocky Point Park (2900 Blk Murray Street, next to Slaughterhouse Creek)

Dogs are also welcome in specific off-leash areas at BC Hydro's Buntzen Lake Reservoir.

In all other areas of the city, dogs must be kept on a leash.

Morning Off-Leash Mini Loop (Pilot) at Bert Flinn Park

Dog walkers in Bert Flinn Park may now have their dogs off-leash between 6am and 10am daily in a new area – the Morning Off-Leash Mini Loop, a nature trail that branches westward off the park’s existing wide gravel off-leash trail. The expansion of the current off-leash area for a one-year pilot period aims to balance access for dog walkers with ecological protection and safe enjoyment of the park for all users. 

Trail users are encouraged to comment on their experiences in the park via our online feedback form. During the one-year pilot period, City staff will monitor trail use and conditions, the ecological health of the park’s natural areas, and bylaw compliance. In late 2026, staff plan to present a report that summarizes the data and feedback collected, and includes a recommendation for next steps, for Council’s consideration.

Areas where dogs are not permitted

Please note dogs (on leash or off) are not allowed on the beach at Old Orchard Park, or on Port Moody sports fields, running tracks, tennis courts, playgrounds, or spray parks. We ask you to respect these restrictions for the health and safety of the public and the protection of our sensitive habitat areas and local wildlife. Please see the Parks and Community Facilities Rules and Regulations Bylaw and the Animal Control Bylaw (BL2677-C) for more information.
