Many humans and their dogs enjoy walking and running in Shea Woods. The City of Ottawa has acquired 12.5 acres of the cedar forest to preserve as a permanent off-leash dog park.

The nearby church parking lot is private property, and is owned and maintained by Holy Spirit Catholic Parish. For residents who are using the parking lot to access Shea Woods, please remember:

  • Keep your dogs on leash when in the parking lot.
  • Drive slowly.
  • Be responsible and pick up after your pet. (Dog waste can be disposed in a sealed, leak-proof bag in your green bin at home.)

Thank you for your co-operation!
