• Owner is responsible for bagging and disposing of any waste created by their dog.
• Dogs must be on a physical leash at all times – the leash should be no longer than 6 feet long.
• Owners are responsible for the actions of their dog, including any sort of injury or damage caused by the dog.
• All dogs must be accompanied by an adult.
• Any dogs acting inappropriately will be asked to leave by staff.
• Walk with only one dog per person.
• Do not bring a dog that is in season.
• Bring your dog only if he/she enjoys being around other people and other dogs.
• Dog owners will sign a release of liability stating that the dog’s vaccinations from a licensed vet are current. The waiver/release will hold the dog owner responsible for any and all liability in the event of an incident. Download the waiver here.

The following is a list of vaccinations that are required.

• Rabies
• DHLP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Para influenza)
• Parvo
• Bordatella

Yes, if your dog:

• Is old enough to be around other dogs and people (at least six months old).
• Is up-to-date on all required vaccinations listed above.
• Is in relatively good health and can walk up and down several flights of stairs.
• Does well on a leash and is not overly aggressive toward other dogs.
• Is friendly toward humans and not excessively fearful.

Probably not, if your dog:

• Is still too young to mix with a big crowd (under six months old).
• Is a senior dog that would have trouble navigating stairs and being outside for an extended period of time.
• Has aggressive tendencies toward other dogs or humans while on or off a leash.
• Is exhibiting any signs of illness close to the day of the game (i.e. cough, nasal discharge, lethargy, diarrhea, etc.) because these symptoms can be signs of potentially infectious illnesses, so it would be best for your dog and other dogs if he or she does not attend.
• Is a female dog in heat.
• Older dogs, dogs with short muzzles, and/or dogs in general that are quickly prone to heat exhaustion should consider not attending this event or possibly plan on not staying for the entire game even though there will be cool water and shady spots. The direct sun and heat can be a deadly combination for dogs. Dogs cool themselves down by panting and are not nearly as efficient as we humans. Please keep the comfort and safety of your dog in the forefront of your mind when planning on this fun day at the park!

No toys (including but not limited to frisbees, balls, chews, or ropes) are allowed. PROHIBITED DOGS/DOG BREEDS: Wolf; Wolf Hybrids; Mixed Breed of the Foregoing; Dog(s) with Prior Incident of Biting/Attacking/Setting Upon Another Person or Animal; Dog(s) with Vicious Temper
