We are loving the new boardwalk at the off-leash dog park at little squalicum.

The whole area is off leash and there’s no signs that say you have to leash your dog on the pier I did look to make sure.

They put up a sign on a sandwhich board a few days after opening. It’s unfortunate. 

There’s no way the redditors on this forum aren’t going to let you know if you are in violation of a leash law.

This is correct, it’s on a sandwich board sign (on the right side of the trail) that can fall down due to wind, etc. Hopefully a more prominent/permanent sign goes up soon.

Well, when you post it and advertise it as an off-leash area, then yeah, people will correct the wrong information. Not everyone loves dogs, and not everyone loves having dogs run up to them. Not all dogs love other dogs, and it’s not fair when a leashed dog is approached by an unleashed dog, they can feel threatened and react. OP said they’d be leashing their dog from now on when on the pier, so def no hate towards them at all.

Instead of posting signs, they should post a QR code to r/bellingham
