- Dogs may be off leash in open space and undeveloped areas, if they stay in view, under voice control and return to the leash when called. Carry a 6-foot leash for each dog. [3]
- No dogs at swimming pools, beaches, wetlands, marshes or designated nature study areas. [3]
- Walking more than three of your own dogs, or walking dogs for a fee, needs a revocable annual district permit. [3]
- Pick up your dog's waste and put it in a trash can or carry it out; never leave bags along a trail. [3]
- Do not leave a dog unattended anywhere in the parks. Dangerous dogs are not allowed. [3]
