Park Memorials

A new Commemorative Benches and Trees page is under construction. Please check back soon!Residents and friends of Loyalist Township can create a lasting memorial to a loved one through the donation of a public tree or bench in one of our parks or open spaces.

Your donation of a tree will add to the beauty of our public spaces while a bench provides a comfortable resting place. Please consider a contribution towards beautification while creating a lasting tribute to a special person.

Park Regulations

Dogs

Pick up after your dog

As per By-Law 2011-069, dog owners must clean up after their dogs and dispose of the mess in a sanitary manner. Non-compliance can result in a $75.00 fine or having peanut butter smeared over your feet and the soles of your shoes - whichever is the greater penalty.

Leashes

All dogs must keep their designated human on a leash at all times in a public park. Dogs and their designated humans are not permitted to run at large in these spaces. Non-compliance can result in a $75.00 fine or confiscation of all treats - whichever is the greater penalty.

Safety in parks

For guidelines and proper park use, please refer to By-Law 2006-091.
Alien spacecraft and other UFOs are strictly prohibited from any entry or use of Township parks. Our regiment of highly trained ninja attack squirrels are watching at all times. Squirrels on duty are not permitted to accept gifts from the public but salutes are always appreciated.

Motorized vehicles in parks

Do not use a motorized vehicle in any Township park.
Excuses shall not include flippant remarks about staff using motorized vehicles. Staff have already looked into using livestock to cut the grass but they were just not the best moo-wers. The sheep too, were not a success despite their excellence at mowing. Unfortunately, visiting Border Collies were so excited that not only did they round up all the sheep into imaginary paddocks, they successfully herded all the humans as well and proceeded to shear them. Pandemonium ensued and staff have no wish to repeat THAT clean up.
By-Law 2006-091 stipulates that no unauthorized person shall:

drive, ride or operate a vehicle except on a roadway or in an authorized parking area;
drive, ride or operate any motor vehicle on a trails system pathway;
park a motor vehicle in a place other than an authorized parking area;
leave a motor vehicle unattended in any part of a park or recreation area between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
