Before you go
- •Rabies and DHPP should be current, and most parks expect dogs over four months old only.
- •Bring your own water and a collapsible bowl — shared bowls are a common way kennel cough spreads.
- •Leash on until you are inside the second gate, then remove it so it cannot get tangled in play.
- •Skip the park entirely if your dog is in heat, recovering from surgery, or has any cough or discharge.
Etiquette that keeps places pet friendly

- •Pick up every time, even when nobody is looking; waste complaints are the #1 reason cities close runs.
