Vesta Energy Fish & Fetch Off-Leash Dog Park

Fish and Fetch Park Sign

The Vesta Energy Fish & Fetch Off-leash Dog Park is located off 53rd Avenue, across from 37th street, directly north of Blindman Brewing.  It is fully fenced and includes agility equipment, waste receptacles, benches, solar lighting, seasonal potable water, and dedicated parking.

To maintain the health and well-being of human and canine users of the park, dog owners are required to pick up their dog’s feces and dispose of it in one of the waste receptacles provided. Failure to do so is a $100 fine for the first offence, $150 for the second and $200 for subsequent offences.

Dog park users are to observe the following rules of etiquette to ensure their time at the off-leash area is a pleasant and safe experience for everyone – people and dogs alike:

Please ensure that your dog: 

  • Has up-to-date licenses and vaccinations. 
  • Does not chase birds or wildlife. 
  • Interacts well with dogs of all ages and sizes.
  • Is not in heat, sick or aggressive.
  • Has good recall and will come to you immediately when called.

Please ensure that you:

  • Do not allow your dog to dig holes, and if it does, fill them immediately to prevent tripping hazards and injuries to other dogs or people. 
  • Are near your dog and it is under verbal control.  Dogs must not be dropped off and left in the park to run on their own.
  • Keep your dog on leash until it has entered the fenced area.
  • Clean up after your dog and dispose of all waste in the receptacles provided. 
  • Do not allow your dog to jump up on other people using the park.
  • Have a leash in your possession in case you suddenly need to remove your dog from the park.
  • Remove your dog from the park at the first sign of aggression.
  • Do not bring glass containers or food into the off-leash area.

Users of the Vesta Energy Fish & Fetch Off-leash Dog Park do so at their own risk. Vesta Energy and the City of Lacombe are not liable for any injuries or damage caused by dogs in the dog park.

Adjacent to the dog park, the Lacombe Fish & Game Association has improved the west fishpond area, including a new aerator, casting docks, and a pedestrian bridge that improves overall access and functionality throughout the park. Dogs are to be kept quiet and on-leash in this area to avoid disturbing families and individuals fishing.  

The pond is home to muskrats and various waterfowl.  Please do not allow your dogs to chase or swim after them. 

During the winter months, the pond is fenced off to prevent people and animals from walking on the ice, as ice thickness varies greatly, and open areas may exist under the snow.  Any dogs or persons who cross the fence do so at their own risk.
