A popular Halifax dog park is set to receive upgrades — and work begins this week.
The Mainland Common off-leash dog park is set to receive a new surface in the dog area, repairs to the park’s fencing, installation of “dog agility elements” and a “shade structure,” as well as improvements to the lighting and trail section of the park.

The park will remain open as the work is underway although the active work zones will be fenced off to ensure safety.
Halifax says work crews will be on-site from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The park’s drainage system will also receive improvements.
WATCH: Man forced to euthanize dog following incident at Halifax park
Complaints about the park have been reported since last year — with one man being forced to euthanize his dog after it fell into a hole at the park and became traumatically injured.
The HRM says the improvements will result in a better experience for dog owners in the municipality.
