Area Off-Leash Dog Parks

Dog Park Etiquette

• Keep your dog from jumping on or interfering with people and their dogs.
• Off-leash does not mean out of control. Aggressive dogs must be removed.
• Don’t smoke or eat while at the park. Cigarette butts and food wrappers are tempting treats to dogs, but bad for them.
• Don’t bring more than three dogs. It subjects parks to overuse, and if they’re not your dogs, you may not have full control over them.
• Dogs cannot be left in the park unattended.
• If you must bring children to a dog park, supervise them closely.
• Dogs must have up-to-date vaccinations and dog license.
• Females in heat are not allowed in the park.
• Pick up and properly dispose of your dog’s waste. It’s the law.
• Have your dog on a leash when entering and leaving the park.
• Make sure that only one gate is open at a time.
• Use the park at your own risk.
