Pets are welcome at most regional parks and regional trails.
Dogs in Parks
Are you and your pup up to snuff on your park etiquette? The PAWS acronym makes CRD regional parks bylaws and pet etiquette easy to understand and remember:
- Protect nature by keeping your dog away from wildlife and sensitive areas - stay on trail.
- Always respect others who might not welcome your dog’s attention.
- Watch that your dog is under control, in sight, and on a leash where required.
- Scoop your dog’s poop and take it to the trash - abandoned dog waste bags can be hazardous for wildlife.
