New Off-Leash Dog Park at Sturgeon Road Athletic Field
Official title: Sturgeon Athletic Field Off-Leash Dog Area
Winnipeg built a new off-leash dog area in St. James after residents asked for one. The park at Sturgeon Road Athletic Field includes separate areas for large and small dogs, plus picnic tables, benches, and shade trees. The city gathered feedback on the design before moving forward.
Why This Matters
Got a dog in St. James? This new park gives your pup a safe, fenced space to run free. The separate areas for big and small dogs mean less worry about mismatched play. It's also a spot to meet other dog owners in your neighbourhood.
What Could Change
The off-leash dog area is being built at Sturgeon Road Athletic Field. It will have perimeter fencing with partitioned areas, expanded parking, and a fenced walkway from the lot to the dog area.
