Off-leash boundaries and ordinary park users
An eligible sports field does not become exclusive dog space. A dog must be leashed immediately when someone arrives to use it, regardless of who arrived first or the purpose of play.
For designated unfenced parks, the city map defines the permitted area. Riverside’s listed area is GRCA land west of the Speed River and north of Woodlawn Road. John Gamble uses its hydro corridor. Do not extend these permissions across the rest of either park.
This directory preserves each listed sports-field name while grouping repeated fields at the same park. Inventory park positions and addresses do not identify the precise off-leash boundary.
