MEDICINE HAT, AB — New rules have come into effect for what was once an off-leash dog park in the city.

A sign has been posted near the tunnel in Kin Coulee park, which leads to the Saamis Archaeological Site, reminding dog owners that as of January 1st, their four-legged friends need to be kept on-leash and to stick to the designated trails.

There is still an off-leash water access on site.

Many dog owners have said they aren’t happy about the change, but the city said the site is showing signs of wear and tear.

The city is legally obligated to preserve and protect the land.
