The Merrill Park Dog Association began July 14, 2008 to deal with the City of Toronto new off-leash policy. For decades Merrill Bridge Road Park has been informally used as an off leash park for dogs to train, run, play and socialize by dogs owners in the neighbourhood.
The city policy permitting off leash parks has made it necessary for dog and non dog owners in the neighbourhood to come together to address the new regulations; the result was the formation of the MPDA.
The first order of business for the association was to file an application. The application has been received by the City of Toronto Parks and Recreation Department.
A flyer with information about the association will be circulated in the neighbourhood, or you can read it on the following blog: www.merrillpkdogs.blogspot.com
Dog owners and non dog owners are welcome to join
