Description
Ian Galloway Park is on Whitehead Street near the corner with Curtis Road. It’s a small unfenced grassy area right beside the skateboard ramp. Don’t confuse it with the large sportsfield where dogs aren’t allowed.
Ian Galloway Park in the distance behind the skateboard ramp. It’s the small patch of grass you can glimpse through the U of the ramp.
I was very pleased with this off-leash area when I arrived to review it and took several photos because it was large and moderately fenced. The problem was I hadn’t actually checked the Council map beforehand and was in the wrong place. We were on the (forbidden) sportsfield.
See the photo of the sign on Page 2 which is poorly placed and doesn’t show which part of the larger park is the actual off-leash area.
I hope to return and take a better photo of the off-leash area.
This is area #23 on the City Council map: Ian Galloway Park (87Kb PDF).
