As a friendly reminder, please keep your dog(s) leashed when utilizing public spaces outdoors. Unfortunately, we receive many complaints from our residents about dogs off-leash attacking small dogs, young children, and adults. With school out for summer, and warmer weather upon us, we can expect more foot traffic at our famed parks and recreational attractions. Be courteous and keep your dog(s) leashed.
