Linda off-leash dog area temporarily closed

Linda off-leash dog area temporarily closed open as of March 8, 2024

UPDATE (March 8, 2024): Linda off-leash dog area is now re-open.


The Linda off-leash dog area is temporarily closed due to hazardous conditions.

Rain has saturated the hillside, causing slippery conditions, soil erosion, and unstable walking surfaces, which make the space unsafe for both dogs and pedestrians.

Off-leash dog areas remain open at:

  • Blair Park: Moraga Avenue between Coaches Field and Maxwelton Road
  • Dracena Park: entrances at the end of Artuna Avenue and 130 Dracena Avenue
  • Piedmont Park: entrances at 711 Highland Avenue and 305 Wildwood Avenue

Public Works staff is regularly monitoring site conditions to determine when the dog area may safely re-open.

It is likely that the park will need to temporarily close after most, if not all, future rain events.
