Brampton has three leash-free zones: White Spruce Park, Chris Gibson Park and Bramalea Community Park. The leash-free zones are open from dawn until dusk. Dog owners must have vaccinated, licensed and neutered or spayed their dogs before they can use the leash-free zones.
The city does not allow dogs that are aggressive to humans, other animals or dogs that have a history of biting in the leash-free zones. To protect children under 10 years old, the City does not permit young children in leash-free zones. Please follow all rules and remember to "stoop and scoop".
In Brampton, you must keep all dogs on a leash whenever they are on any property other than your own - unless you are in designated "leash-free" areas. You are responsible for making sure that your dogs do not "run at large". A dog "running at large" means that it is unleashed, off its owner's property and not under its owner's control.
Animal Services staff may pick up any dog running at large and keep it at the animal shelter. If you allow your dogs to stray at large or off leash in undesignated areas, you could be fined as much as $5,000 for each offense.
