Off-leash area update and call for spring cleaning…

April 8, 2008

On March 27, 2008 the City Parks Department held an important meeting in which there was a heroic attempt on the part of Parks to bring together the majority of the interested stakeholders of the Park together to discuss the off-leash area. This was not a dog vs non-dog meeting- there was finally acknowledgement that Cedarvale is a park of a multitude of stakeholders- this is a Park of students, soccerplayers, cricket players, ultimate frisbee, cedarvale children’s garden, baseball players, and runners just to name a few. And yes, there are also families and dogs and dog owners (with none of these categories being mutually exclusive). A commitment was made to take everyone’s needs into account, and a renewed commitment by everyone to establish a fenced-in off-leash area was stated. Parks also announced that there will soon be 12 more bylaw officers, to help in enforcing the existing bylaws of the many City of Toronto parks. Hopefully by this summer, we will see some progress as to where and how big this off-leash area will be, so that people and dogs can both use the Park to its full potential.

Until then, I would urge everyone in the Park to be considerate of the many users of the Park: if you see garbage, pick it up. If you see kids running around, leash your dog. And if you can, help with the Cedarvale Ravine Cleanup…details below

The group will meet at the foot of the Glen Cedar foot bridge and work south from there. A day or so before the community clean up, students from Vaughan Road Academy will clean the portion from Arlington Avenue to the Glen Cedar foot bridge.
