About Gaiarine Gardens
Off-Leash Dog Area at Gaiarine Gardens
Gaiarine Gardens has an off-leash dog area that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Because the dog area opens onto the surrounding streets, owners need good recall to keep their dogs close. Plastic netting laid under the lawn stops dogs from digging through it, and a sandpit gives dogs a separate place to dig. Benches are set around the area so owners can sit while their dogs run. Dogs must stay on a leash outside the dog area, because the children's playground sits right next to it.
Children's Playground at Gaiarine Gardens
Gaiarine Gardens has a children's playground next to its off-leash dog area, equipped with swings, slides, climbing equipment, a seesaw, spinners and ball play. The playground gives young children their own space to run and climb while adults stay nearby. Families visiting with toddlers or school-age children can use the playground as the main activity for a short visit.
Garden Entrance and Grassy Space at Gaiarine Gardens
Gaiarine Gardens opens with attractive garden beds at its entrance, with a few benches set among them. The open grassy space is not huge, but it leaves enough room for dogs and walkers to sniff and wander. Plastic ground mats are laid across the ground to help the grass grow, and the lawn is limited, so much of the park's surface is bare.
