Local rule · Calgary

Everywhere else in Calgary, dogs must be leashed unless a sign marks an off-leash area, including parking lots at off-leash areas and paths in natural environment parks. On pathways the leash can be no longer than 2 m, and dogs must stay at least 5 m from play structures, school grounds, sports fields and other no-dog areas. City of Calgary
