About OLDPUG
OLDPUG brings Regina’s off-leash dog park users together to share information, support responsible park use and turn community concerns into practical action.
We are volunteer-led, grounded in real park experiences and committed to helping Regina’s dog parks remain safe, clean, welcoming and well cared for.
What we are
OLDPUG provides a structure for people from Regina’s off-leash communities to identify shared priorities, exchange information and support practical improvements.
Our work includes community education, park stewardship, useful resources, communication and relationship-building.
What we are not
OLDPUG does not investigate individual incidents, determine fault, enforce bylaws or replace the work of emergency responders, animal protection officers or other public authorities.
We can help people find appropriate information and reporting contacts while raising broader issues that affect Regina’s dog park community.
What guides us
These values shape how we communicate, make decisions and work with one another.
We create ways for Regina dog park users to share information, raise concerns, contribute ideas and stay connected.
We support practical care for off-leash spaces through education, reporting, cleanup efforts and constructive advocacy.
We promote considerate behaviour toward dogs, people, volunteers, public spaces and the wider community.
We work with park users, community organizations and public agencies around shared goals and workable solutions.
How OLDPUG works
OLDPUG is structured so that Regina’s dog park communities help shape the organization’s direction.

Practical action
Useful information, stocked bag dispensers, safer park practices, cleanup projects and better communication may seem like small things individually.
Together, they help create parks where people feel informed, supported and able to enjoy the space responsibly with their dogs.
Explore Respect the ParkBuilt from local experience
The photographs, concerns, suggestions and everyday park experiences shared by local users help keep OLDPUG’s work grounded in what is actually happening in Regina’s parks.
You do not need a formal title to contribute. Participation can be as simple as attending a meeting, sharing an idea, reporting a maintenance issue, volunteering at a cleanup or sending us a gloriously imperfect photograph of your dog.
