Local rule · Metchosin
Metchosin's own parks have no off-leash areas: its bylaw requires dogs to be under direct and continuous control. The regional parks listed here follow the Capital Regional District's rule instead: dogs may be off leash when in sight and coming when called, except where signed, with dogs kept off Matheson Lake's and Witty's Lagoon's beaches from June 1 to September 15.
