Off-leash dog area coming to Jinkerson Park in Promontory
CHILLIWACK — There’s good news for Promontory residents who might be eager for a new venue where they can bring their dogs for an off-leash adventure but don’t want to drive into Sardis.
The city of Chilliwack wrote on social media Thursday (August 3) that construction is underway for a new off-leash dog area in Jinkerson Park located at 5869 Jinkerson Road. The city estimates it will be open by this fall.
According to a city-linked website called Engage Chilliwack, Jinkerson Park will undergo a series of upgrades in 2023, including the addition of a dog off-leash area, a beginner/novice asphalt pump track and a multi use gaming area.
- The dog off-leash area will consist of two separate areas for small and large dogs.
- The beginner/novice pump track will be designed to help riders build the necessary skills and experience before moving to the advanced facilities at the Chilliwack Pump Track Facility located at the Landing.
- A multi-use game area is an outdoor, steel-fenced area with built-in goal post units for various types of sports games, such as football or basketball. Outer fencing makes it easier to keep the ball in play.
