OFF LEASH DOG PARK RESTRICTIONS EXPLAINED
Some residents have been questioning why local off-leash parks were closed, including Riverdale Park West (an unofficial off-leash area) and Allan Gardens, when it seems to be an activity where social distancing is still possible.
A recent article in blogTO provides a bit more clarity on why that decision was made and is worth a read for those wondering asking the same question.
