Respectful Dog Ownership Among the most frequent complaints we receive at the municipal office are dogs running off-leash at parks. Whether you are in a park, on a trail or walking along the street, dogs must be leashed unless you are in a designated Dog-Off-Leash Area. Please pick up after your dog and properly dispose of any waste. These rules, found in the Animal Control By-law, always apply, even if “no one else is around.” You may receive a fine or other penalties if you do not obey the by-law. Remember that all dogs living in Middlesex Centre must have a valid dog tag. Tags are issued for the lifetime of your dog at no charge to you. Apply for your dog tag by calling the municipal office at 519-666-0190 ext. 5241 or online at middlesexcentre.ca/dogtags.
HAVE YOUR SAY New playgrounds at Meadowcreek Park and Komoka Park officially opened in May. Both feature climbers, slides, and swings, as well as new landscaping and benches. The Government of Ontario and the Ontario Trillium Foundation provided funding for the project at Meadowcreek. Funding for the Komoka playground was included in the municipal budget, with generous donations from the Komoka-Kilworth Optimist Club and Middlesex Paving & Maintenance. Middlesex Centre – Municipal Minute Middlesex Centre Parks in Full Swing With the summer weather now upon us, Middlesex Centre parks are in full swing! Splash pads at Heritage Park, Kilworth Westbrook Park and the Komoka Wellness Centre and park washrooms (where available) are open for the season. New this year, the municipality is introducing paid parking at Douglas B. Weldon Park in Arva. Weldon Park is the municipality’s largest and most visited park, featuring tennis and pickleball courts, a disc golf course, trails, an off-leash dog area, pavilion, playgrounds, baseball diamonds and wonderful green space. With many of those visiting the park coming from outside of Middlesex Centre, the municipality is adding paid parking to ensure all users contribute to the maintenance costs of the park and its services. Parking payment is through Honk Mobile, which allows visitors to pay on-site on their mobile phone or in advance at honkmobile. com/find-parking. An annual pass is also available.
