Dog Park set to open Saturday

The city’s first off-leash dog park will have a grand opening on Saturday.

The park is located at the end of Champlain Park Road and is run by the North Bay and District Humane Society.

Executive Director Daryl Vaillancourt says right now the park is mostly gravel but he says there will be amenities added on down the road. He says that includes grass, pergolas for shade and more.

Vaillancourt says there will be a lure course for your dog.

There will be vendors and more on hand at the grand opening which gets underway at 10am.

Champlain Park Road is off Premier Road.
