Pets Allowed in Parks

Leashed pets are welcome in our parks, but not on the sport fields. Please make sure to pick up after your pets. Not only does cleaning up after your pet help ensure clean parks, it is the healthy and environmentally sound thing to do. Pet waste can be harmful to people and is a contributor to water pollution when washed into storm sewer systems and streams. Pet Waste Stations are available at most of our local parks. Please see our Pet Waste Information Sheet for  helpful hints.
