Walking your dog

We welcome dogs in our district. There are some places where dogs are banned or where they must be on a leash, this is to maintain health and safety for our community and wildlife.

Check out the information and map below to find out where you cannot take your dog or where it will need to be leashed. If the place you are looking for is not listed that means you are free to walk your dog there any time. 

Happy dog walking!
