Off-leash dog areas, or dog parks, provide a community setting in which people can gather and socialize and where they can observe the interaction of groups of dogs at play.  

Sechelt's well-behaved canine population can take part in special off-leash privileges at selected Sechelt Parks.  The designated off-leash parks are not exclusively for dogs but are to be shared with all park users.

Owners are responsible for the actions of their dogs, including picking up and disposing of their waste.  Owners must also license their dog.
