Description
Park Rules & Regulations Dogs are welcome in public parks that are not designated as a dog exercise area, but they are to be kept secured by a leash. The leash may be removed from a dog on private property provided that the owner or person in control of such private property has permitted such dog to be present without a leash. For the enjoyment of City residents and their dogs, the following rules apply at the Dog Parks and Exercise Areas: • Unless otherwise posted, dog parks and areas are open from sunrise to sunset. • All dogs must be under their handlers' control. • Only three dogs per handler are allowed. • Dogs must be on leash when entering and exiting the park. Each handler must have a leash in hand at all other times. • No dogs in heat are allowed. • Only dogs four months and older are allowed. • Dogs must be legally licensed, vaccinated, and wearing both current tags. • Handlers must keep their dogs in view at all times. • Any bite occurring to a person or dog must be immediately reported to Alexandria Animal Control. Persons and dogs involved must wait for an officer to respond, except when immediate medical care is needed. • Unleashed dogs must remain within the boundaries of the dog exercise area as defined by bollards. • Handlers must immediately pick up all feces and dispose of them in trash receptacles. • Aggressive dogs (defined as dogs posing a threat to human beings or other dogs) are not allowed at any time. Handlers are legally responsible for their dogs and any injury or damage to facilities caused by them.
