There are numerous benches, lots of grass, woodchips, pine trees, shade, and even a 3 tier water fountain! It’s located right next door to St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, and across the street from Niko’s Pizza, and Galaxie Diner.<\/p>\n
The main entrance for the big dogs has a pen\/airlock to prevent them escaping while you’re trying to enter or leave.<\/p>\n There’s plenty of seating, and lots of room for them to play in the grass. It’s not huge though, the entire park is about the size of a hockey rink, so while your fur babies will get some exercise in the sun, this park isn’t somewhere you’d wanna take them to play frisbee for example.<\/p>\n There are actually two fenced off areas within the footprint of Connaught\u00a0dog park, one for smaller dogs up to 30lbs, and one for the larger dogs. The gates are not close to each other, so there shouldn’t be any issues getting close. Unless they can jump the fence? O_o<\/p>\n The dog park has 2 stations with free bags you can use to scoop up and mail your dogs waste to the dump. They even provided a sweet foot pedal garbage can! You don’t even have to touch the thing, just step on it and insert waste. The system works.<\/p>\n These garbage cans should be everywhere, not just limited to dog parks. I’d much rather step on something than have to touch a door flap. However I guess not all garbage cans need a flap to keep the smell in…<\/p>\n![\"Connaught](\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Connaught-Dog-Park-Fountains.jpg\")
