The city is one step closer to getting more off-leash dog parks.
The city’s Protection and Community Parks Committee voted in favour of spending $1.8 million to add dog parks — $300,000 each year over the next six years.
Right now, there are 11 off-leash dog parks in Winnipeg. In November 2017, the city opened the Bonnycastle Dog Park downtown, which is a fenced, 0.12-hectare area on Assiniboine Avenue.

The city will also look at sharing unused community centre hockey rinks that could be flipped in the summer months.
