From the source
- Off-leash strip along the lake beside the airport runway, past the Lakeside Park playing fields
- The main Rotary Lakeside Park area (beach, playground) is dog-free; leashed dogs allowed only on the playing-field perimeter walkways
- Dogs must be leashed in all other City parks and the downtown core
- The dog walk can close for airport events, as it did between the main gate and the bridge during the September 2026 airshow.
