Off Leash Areas
Provided that owners can control their dogs so that they do not interfere with people or other dogs, dogs are allowed off leash:
- on designated HRM sports fields
On June 26, 2007 Halifax Regional Council adopted the HRM Off Leash Parks Strategy. HRM operates five pilot off leash park areas that are open year-round from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
