Off-Leash Dog Trail Pilot Project – Community Feedback Survey

The City of Fredericton has been piloting an off-leash dog trail at Killarney Lake Park, giving dogs the freedom to roam while owners enjoy the outdoors together. Unlike fenced dog parks, these trails let dogs explore while off-leash in a natural setting.

The designated area includes Trail 9 and parts of Trail 7, clearly marked for off-leash use.

Pilot goals:

• Create more space for dogs to exercise and socialize
• Offer an alternative to fenced dog parks
• Encourage responsible pet ownership
• Test how well trails can be shared by all users

As the pilot wraps up on October 15, we want your feedback! Your input will help decide if off-leash trail options should:

• Continue,
• Be improved, or
• Be discontinued.

This initiative is part of our commitment to affordable, inclusive, and accessible recreation for residents of all kinds, including the four-legged ones.

The survey will close October 24, 2025.
