PARK RULES

The Leisure Services Department is committed to providing a safe and quality park system for our community. Park rules exist to ensure park visitors have a pleasant experience. Two specific rules that need to be remembered when taking a dog to a city park are: (1) dogs are to be leashed at all times; and (2) pet owners are required to pick up and properly dispose of their pet’s waste.
