Dog Walking & Map
The City of Nelson has established a number of dog-restricted zones to ensure that streets in the downtown core and public park areas are kept clean and safe for all residents and visitors. Leashed dogs are welcome in other parts of the city, and an off-leash dog-walking park can be found along the waterfront, adjacent to the Norman Stibbs Airfield. Wherever you walk in the city, please remember to clean up after your pet.
Dogs are not permitted within the restricted zones indicated in Schedule D and Schedule E of Bylaw 2333. The red highlighted area on the downtown map below shows the dog-restricted zone between the South side of Vernon Street and the North side of Victoria Street from Falls to Hall streets. Dogs are also not permitted within Lakeside Park or on the waterfront playing fields adjacent to Lakeside Park as indicated in Schedule F.
