Reopening of Mississauga dog park pushed back until next year

Work crews blame wet weather for the delay in the reopening of an east Mississauga dog park.

Peel Region is carrying out the work that is affecting Etobicoke Valley Dog Park and associated trails.

The work has closed the park for several months.

“Restoration of the park is almost complete. However, due to the significant rainfall events that occurred in July and August, the project end date has been further delayed,” read a bulletin released by the region. “We anticipate that the park will be open in late Spring 2025 to early Summer 2025. This will ensure that all landscaping and grassed areas are fully restored before opening the park to the public. All efforts will be made to open the dog park at the earliest opportunity.”

Trail closure signs are posted on site. Alternate dog park locations can be found by visiting mississauga.ca/events-and-attractions/parks/find-a-park/.

The work being carried is the installation of sanitary trunk sewer offline storage facility and replace the existing sewer. Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from to homes or businesses to a water resource recovery facility. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet.
