Free Zone Guidelines

Ten Guidelines of Responsibility of Users
|
| 1. |
Come prepared to "Scoop the Poop." Any bags in park bins
have been donated by our members. (Owners who fail to "Stoop & Scoop" their dogs
excrement can be fined). |
| 2. |
Respect the rights of all users. |
| 3. |
Dogs are allowed "off leash" in designated areas only. Be advised
that City fines are doubled for dogs found off-leash, outside the fences of Leash-Free
parks. |
| 4. |
Your dog(s) should be fully vaccinated. (Puppies should have had their 12 week
shots). |
| 5. |
It is advised that puppies be 4 months old before beginning visits to the
park. |
| 6. |
If your dog is in heat, please temporarily refrain from using the park. |
| 7. |
Carry a leash with you at all times. |
| 8. |
Parents, keep a watchful eye on your children. Some dogs are not accustomed to
children and may "startle" easily. |
| 9. |
Replace spiked collars with traditional collars when using the park. Other
dogs can be easily hurt when playing. |
| 10. |
Keep a watchful eye on your dog(s) at all times.
|
| Is Your Dog Being Aggresive? |
| Aggresive dogs should be handled responsibly by their owners. No dog should feel
frightened, threatened, or defensive. If playtime is escalating into aggression, it is
understood the aggressive dog should be leashed and removed from the park (if necessary) by
it's owner. |
