Addison is a dog-friendly place.  The town boasts two dog parks where dogs can run off-leash safely.  The smaller park, situated near the south end of Les Lacs Trail, is open from 5:00 am til 11:00 pm, while the newer park, accessible through the trail at the south end of Le Grande Dr., is open from 7:00 am to dusk.  This second park has separate areas for large dogs and small dogs.  Both parks have bench seating for the humans, pooper scooper stations, and doggie water fountains.  These dog parks are for Addison residents only!

Complying with the rules (below) for the dog parks is a condition of using the parks:
