The public can access the trails and beaches but please be aware that there are no staff or services i.e. garbage collection or snow removal. Gates are closed so parking may be affected in some locations.

- Dogs off leash in some areas may impact protected vegetative species or impact sensitive sites like sand dunes.
- Part of the NSPP mandate is the protection of wildlife. By instinct many dogs want to chase wildlife or scare them away. Keeping dogs on lead also protects them from quills, skunks, or other altercations with wild animals.
- Even a friendly dog can scare or knock down a child or senior.
- With all the distractions in a park setting…new people, other dogs, wildlife, watercourses, events and activities…even a well-trained dog may act differently than it does at home.
