Off Leash Dog Park

When Moosomin Parks and Recreation performed our community recreation plan community consultations in 2020, one of the facilities heavily requested was an off leash dog park. We have had a lot on our plate the past few years however we are now ready to proceed but we need your help. We are looking for donations to cover cost or any businesses willing to take additional eight signages to help offset costs. The park will go on the south west corner of Bradley Park and will be complete with 6-foot highway fencing. Project will move along as funds are available. If you would like to donate to the Dog Park or take a highway signage or would like further information please email us at msmn.rec.brd@sasktel.net or call 435-3622.

​

Terry Lynd Basketball Courts

Out Door Off Leash Dog Park
