8 FALL 2017/WINTER 2018 CHILLIWACK LEISURE GUIDE
Vedder North Dyke Trail at 5400
Lickman Road
To access this area a visitor could either
use the parking lot at the Lickman Vedder
Rotary Trail parking lot and walk to the
DOL entry area to the west, or by way of
Webster Road. Signage at the beginning/
end of this off leash trail informs of the
etiquette for this off leash dog trail which
runs between Lickman Road and Webster
Road along the North Dyke. A centrally
located area close to the Vedder Rotary
Trail was selected for the DOL trail and
vegetation will be managed to allow for
a large grassy area where dogs can run
free. This addition of 8830 square meters
of designated off leash area has been well
received both in the local neighbourhood
and community wide.
Sheffield Dog off leash area at
7215 Sheffield Way
As this parcel of land is in the Agricultural
Land Reserve application was made
to the Agriculture Land Commission to
approve a non-farm use for a public dog
off leash area. An existing paved parking
area on the north end added to the
potential for this parcel as a community
DOL park. Further adding to the suitability
of this property are the vehicles traveling
on Sheffield Way which provides a level
of natural surveillance or eyes on the
park.
This will be a welcome addition to the
dedicated dog off leash area in the City of
Chilliwack with over 2300 square meters
in the small dog area and 3800 square
meters in the large dog area.
