Kettle Creek Dog Park

The Kettle Creek Dog Park is open. 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. Face coverings are recommended while occupying the dog park. For the safety of our staff the facility will be closed if garbage is not properly disposed of in the provided containers.

This park is made possible through a partnership between Kettle Creek Conservation Authority (KCCA), the Municipality of Central Elgin and the City of St. Thomas. The park is owned and managed by KCCA. The St. Thomas Dog Owners Association provides assistance to make sure the user rules are followed.
