An off-leash dog park in Okotoks is possible. Canines in Okotoks will soon have an off-leash area... but some residents are concerned over its potential location.
Community Services Manager Susan Laurin says the Town has strict guidelines on what properties they can choose.
She says areas must be within close proximity to, or immediately in the town, open and a suitable size, as well as not immediately adjacent to any homes. 
Laurin says negotiations to purchase one proposed property (north of the new stadium) are underway, and will be complete before any further discussion on the issue.
She adds there will be a series of public consultations on the location, but doesn't expect them until later next year.
