Delta offers 12 leash-optional areas for licensed dogs.  Dogs can enjoy off-leash privileges in the designated off-leash areas only, and are not allowed near or on children’s playgrounds, school grounds and sports fields. A Guide to Off-Leash Areas in Delta (5534 KB) is available for pick-up from any Delta facility.

To provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all, off-leash etiquette and safety rules must be followed:

• Leash your dog while entering and exiting an off-leash area
• Keep your dog within sight and under verbal control at all times
• Clean up after your pet
• Up-to-date dog license tags are required
• No aggressive dogs allowed (see Delta Animal Control Bylaw No 6893)
• No more than 2 dogs per person are allowed
• Dogs identified by law to be leashed and muzzled must remain so
