We used to live in Prestwick and off leash dogs were a problem at that time and I'm sure they still are. My fiance and dog were attacked by an off leash dog at the pond. There were also countless other times we were approached by aggressive off leash dogs. I would often remind owners that there are no off leash areas in M-Towne and was told to F OFF each and every time. I certainly agree with a previous poster about owners not picking up there dog. It was everywhere. Also, after the attack I pleaded with bylaw officials to put up some signs to which they told me they didn't exist and that it is considered to be on leash unless it specifies otherwise. I told them I saw signs at another park and before to long a few signs were up. I also made them very aware of the trouble spots, one is where you were. So I'm glad to see they were actually making a patrol of the area and honestly if you want your dog to be off it's leash leave it in your yard or take it a few minutes up Deerfoot to the off leash park.
