Hello Connie, the Kettle Creek dog park opened today. This facility contains high touch surfaces that are not cleaned or disinfected. Users are entering at their own risk. Please practice proper handwashing. Washrooms are closed and water is not turned on. Please bring your own doggy bags. For the safety of our staff the facility will be closed if garbage is not properly disposed of in the provided containers. If the parking lot is full or you cannot practice proper physical distancing come back later. Please ensure that we can keep the facility open for all to enjoy.

I got a response that they park was not willing to add lights or change the hours. I asked if they could put some sand down or wood chips as it’s quite muddy. I was told someone from Maintenance would take a look. 🙄

Today I received a FB message and was asked to help post this. They would like information on if the dog’s shots are up to date. Please reach to myself or meirer. No intentions to have anything done with the dog just looking for it’s health info as the child had to get rabies shots.

Finally heard back from the Conservation regarding solar lights. Thinking of starting a online petition?

Here is the response:

Sorry for the delay in responding. Thank you for your interest in the Kettle Creek Dog Park.

During the creation of the Dog Park it was discussed by the partnering agencies that the operating hours for the park would be dusk to dawn. Therefore, putting lights in to assist in the use of the dog park after dusk would not be in keeping with the park rules and regulations.

We do meet annually with representatives of the City of St.Thomas and Central Elgin, who are partners in the dog park, and we can raise your request with them at that

I’ve sent an email and left a voicemail about the possibility of solar lights at the park still haven’t heard back anything. I’ll try again tomorrow:)

Hi Dog Lovers, I created this page so we can share park conditions in the messy weather, post about lost articles, coordinate doggo play dates. Also I’d like to pitch the idea of solar lighting and possible fund raising for that. Feel free to post pics of your doggos🐾
