The City of Calgary has planted Ohio Buckeye trees in a dog park, creating a safety concern because the trees produce nuts that are toxic to pets. The Cambrian Heights community has raised the issue, stating they filed reports about the problem two years ago.

The presence of these trees in a designated dog park poses a risk to animals that may ingest the nuts or other parts of the tree. Ohio Buckeye nuts contain compounds that can be harmful to dogs if consumed.

The timing of the community's reports suggests the issue has remained unresolved for an extended period, raising questions about the city's response to safety concerns raised by residents regarding the planted trees in this public space.
