Let Fluffy off the leash to play with canine friends, sniff an unhindered path or splash in the surf. Just be sure to keep your pet’s waste picked up and behavior in check.
Leash & Scoop
Your dog is welcome in our parks, but please be a responsible pet owner.
• Dogs bite more than 4.7 million people each year - don't let it happen to you or your pet.
• Even good dogs can be unpredictable in a open setting.
• Your loose dog may encourage others to let less well-behaved animals loose.
• Save yourself liability claims from injuries, damage or medical bills caused by your dog.
• Leashing also protects your dog from cars, curious kids and other dogs.
• Unleashed dogs are harder to clean up after.
• Dog waste is a health hazard, spreading diseases and parasites to other animals and humans.
• Precious park land is shared by a variety of users.
• Failure to follow these regulations may result in fines of $250 and potential closure of off-leash sites.
Guidelines for use
For everyone's enjoyment of this area, please observe the following:
