Off-Leash Dog Parks offer fun and safe recreation areas for dog owners and their canine friends. You know they really are family. For us who live in communities with Dog Parks, we know it is a great way to exercise and socialize with our dogs. It also brings a community together as we socialize with each other.

The off-leash dog park benefits the community in many ways:

• Allows socialization and exercise of dogs in a safe environment
• Promotes responsible pet ownership
• Provides elderly and disabled owners an accessible place to exercise their companions
• Enables dogs to legally run off-leash
• Promotes public health and safety
• Provides a tool for realistic enforcement of dog control laws
