Off-Leash Dog Areas

Burlington now has two fenced, off-leash areas for dogs:

Waterfront Site
Located about 1,000 feet north of the Moran Building (old Burlington Electric generating station), this site provides access to the lake and can be reached via the bike path. It is a walk-in area only, with parking available at the north end of Waterfront Park or at North Beach. It is open year 'round at all hours.

Starr Farm Park
This area is located just west of the bike path and adjacent to the community garden. Convenient parking and water are available at the site. It is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. April - October, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. November - March.

Dog owners are expected to maintain control over their dogs, clean up after them and ensure that their dogs are properly licensed and vaccinated. Children under age 13 are not allowed in off-leash areas without adult supervision. Dog license revenues currently finance the parks.

Volunteers are needed to help monitor the sites, remove trash and inform users of park rules. Please call 865-7247 to help with this effort.
