ACAPO FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND – TEMPORARY DOGS OFF-LEASH AREA

For ACAPO this coming weekend, June 6,7,8, the Parks, Forestry & Recreation. has agreed to make the ‘Bellwoods Park’ area of the park the official off leash zone - this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is the area bordered by Dundas, Shaw and Crawford - where the Farmers Market is located on Tuesdays - which is regularly on-leash. The market organizers ask dog owners to please be respectful to our market location and to pick up after your pets, as there are environment health concerns. Also please be mindful of the recently mulched areas under some trees.

There have been complaints about dogs running loose in the on-leash zones - particularly in the evening when people are commuting through the park. By-law enforcement officers will be called in if the situation continues.

Thank you for your cooperation. And please let the Friends know how well this temporary alternative off-leash area has worked.
