Should Sturgeon Road Athletic Field Get an Off-Leash Dog Area?
Official title: Sturgeon Athletic Field Off-Leash Dog Area
St. James residents asked for an off-leash dog area, and the City of Winnipeg designed one for Sturgeon Road Athletic Field. The proposed design includes separate areas for large and small dogs, fencing, benches, shade trees, and expanded parking. The survey ran from May 4 to June 1, 2022, and is now closed.
Why This Matters
Got a dog in St. James? This could give you a safe, fenced space to let them run free. The design includes separate areas for big and small dogs, so your pup can play with dogs their own size.
What Could Change
If approved, Sturgeon Road Athletic Field would get a new fenced off-leash area with separate zones for large and small dogs. The city is now investigating site conditions to determine next steps for construction.
