What to expect
The two enclosures use decomposed-granite surfaces and have different play equipment. The large-dog side includes a canine castle, arch runways, logs and a jumping bar; the small-dog side includes a ramp and natural logs. Check fountains, gates and equipment before play.
Rules and safety
Choose the size-appropriate enclosure, supervise your dog, close both gates and remove waste promptly. Bring backup water and a bowl in case a fountain is unavailable, and leave if equipment, surface heat or crowd behavior is unsafe for your dog.
Follow all posted City of Ontario rules and temporary closures. Keep dogs leashed outside the designated fenced off-leash areas.
