Dog Park Rules & Regulations:

These guidelines will help to ensure that your dog parks stay clean and safe.

  • Please use the mutt mitt dispensers and waste containers located at the parks' fence lines. Owners/custodians must clean up after their dog(s) to decrease the spread of disease.

  • Dogs must be accompanied by their owners/custodians.

  • Owners/custodians must maintain voice control over their dog(s) and keep them in sight while visiting the dog park.

  • To help keep the dog parks clean, please do not groom animals at the park.

  • Maricopa County requires that all dogs in the county be licensed. In addition to being licensed, dogs must be older than 4 months and be currently vaccinated.
