Dog Park Guidelines & Tips for Use

• Keep walking or playing- this helps keep the off-leash area "neutral" territory for all.
• Keep your dog on leash until you enter the off-leash areas; carry a leash on you for each dog at all times while in the park.
• Dogs shall be under your visual contact and voice control at all times; stay within close range of your dog.
• Be aware that dogs have different play styles. Talk to your veterinarian, other park users and educate yourself on dog behavior.
• Ensure each gate closes behind you before you enter the next one.
• Fill in any holes your dog digs or make appropriate repairs to disturbed areas.
• Do not bring a dog with a known history of biting or fighting.
