Dog Park Rules:

  • FIRST TIME USERS SHOULD VISIT THE AREA AT NON-PEAK TIMES Peak times are Monday - Friday, late afternoon until dark. Saturdays and Sundays are busy by 9:30 a.m.
    The first visit can be a little stressful for both you and your dog. Ease the stress that first time by going when the park isn't so busy.
  • OBSERVE THE POSTED PARK RULES
    Park users must comply with those rules for the safety of everyone and every dog!
  • LET YOUR DOG OFF LEASH AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE
    Leashed dogs may feel threatened and growl or bark when off-leash dogs greet them.
  • KEEP WALKING
    This keeps the off leash area neutral territory.
  • PICK UP POOP
    This is the single most important thing you can do to help ensure the ongoing success of these areas.
    We need to pick up after our dogs and even pick up a few extras!
    Don't be afraid to ask "Do you need a bag?" or "Whose golden retriever is taking that dump over there?" when they see a poop about to be ignored.
    If you need a bag, take what you need from the bag dispenser box, but please bring some extra bags to share next time you come.
    Always pick up after your dog, even outside the off-leash area.
  • BE AWARE THAT DOGS HAVE DIFFERENT PLAY STYLES
    Educate yourself on dog behavior. Ask questions. A behavior that concerns you may simply be a rambunctious play style.
  • YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURIES INFLICTED BY YOUR DOG Prevent injuries by supervising your dog at all times. If your dog inflicts an injury, give your name and phone number to the other dog owner before leaving the area.
  • OWNERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CONDUCT AS WELL AS THEIR DOGS
    Don't scream or yell at any dogs unless it is during a fight. The best way to break up a fight is to use a whistle or a water pistol filled with vinegar and water.
  • LEARN AGGRESSION SIGNS AND BODY LANGUAGE FOR DOGS
    Understanding dog behavior is essential to having a safe and successful dog park experience.
  • AGGRESSIVE DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE PARK
  • SUPERVISE YOUR CHILDREN
    Do not bring children under 12 years old to the park. Prevent injuries by not allowing your children to run or scream around the dogs. In the confusion and fun at the off-leash site, some dogs may mistake a running or screaming child for another playing dog or even a wild animal.
  • I KEEP THE AREA SAFE & CLEAN
    Pick up cigarette butts and other trash lying around, garbage cans are provided. Do not bring glass containers to the park. Pick up trash left in the park. Don't let your dog dig holes. Bring fresh water to share -- just take home an empty jug from the site and bring it back full the next time you come.
  • TRAIN YOUR DOG IN BASIC OBEDIENCE
  • BRlNG ONLY LICENSED DOGS WITH UP-TO-DATE VACICINATIONS
  • DO NOT ALLOW OBSESSIVE BARKING
    Be considerate of our neighbors.
  • DO NOT BRING ANIMALS OTHER THAN DOGS TO THE PARK
  • BRlNG YOUR OWN WATER AND WATER DISH
  • DO NOT BRING YOUR SICK DOG TO PLAY
    Sick dogs can be contagious just like people so stay home until they are well.
  • PINCH OR CHOKE COLLARS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON DOGS WHILE PLAYING
    This is very dangerous because dogs can accidentally choke one another while playing.
