It’s official: Burlington is getting another leash-free zone.
Construction is expected to begin next week on the area which will be located in Hidden Valley Park.
The long-anticipated playground for dogs will be situated next to the Burlington Model Railway Club along Hidden Valley Rd.
The site has long been anticipated as Burlington’s next leash-free park and follows the lobbying efforts of many area residents who have pointed out the popularity and high use of the park by dog walkers.
The new leash-free area will include:
- A 0.15-hectare (less than a quarter of the size of a soccer pitch)
- Double-gated entry/exit enclosure
- Accessible park benches
- 6-foot high chain link fence surrounding the area
The site also has easy access to parking and is centrally located in the Aldershot community.
Depending on working conditions, the leash-free area could be completed by early next year.
