Welcome to the Wilmot's Off-Leash Dog Park, a .75-acre (3,000 square metre) dog park located at Scott Park, 75 Hunter St., in New Hamburg. The dog park is open daily, 6 a.m. until dusk, and has two separately enclosed areas - one space designated for dogs under 30 pounds, timid dogs and aging dogs, and another for larger, more active dogs.

The dog park includes accessible paths in each section, a controlled entrance, waste disposal unit and accompanying parking lot. Please note that the park is used at the owner's risk.

Owners are encouraged to be respectful of the other dog park users. Remember to use caution to stay safe and follow the rules to keep the dog park safe for owners and our four-legged family members.
