The City of Waterloo has opened a new leash-free dog park on Copper Street, located on the west side of the city, near Columbia St W and Platinum Dr. The dog park is within Generation Park (previously known as the westside employment lands).

The Copper Street off-leash dog park is one large 7,000 square metre area, about the size of a high school soccer field. It is completely fenced and on a mostly grass surface, with seating nearby, signage and a puppy poop power dog waste unit. There is an accessible parking spot on site.



Project background:

During the development of the city's Parkland Strategy in 2022, it was recommended that at least one additional off-leash dog park be added on the west side of the city. This would support the growing number of pet owners in the city, particularly those with limited space for pet exercise and socialization. The capital funding for the dog park was released in Feb 2022, as part of the 2022 capital budget.
