DOG PARK PERMITS

The Louisville Dog Run Association's primary goal is to oversee the maintenance and continued improvement of dog parks in E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park and the Louisville Metro Parks system. Since the LDRA does not receive funds from any local or state governmental agency, all users of the dog parks will be required to have an official Dog Park Permit to use the area. This type of system has been used very successfully in many communities across the nation (including Indianapolis and Minneapolis).

The cost of the 2010 Dog Park Permit is $30.00 for the first dog, $20.00 for the second dog, $10.00 for the third dog, and $5.00 per additional dog in the same household. All funds from the sale of the Dog Park Permits will go towards the dog parks' maintenance and improvement costs. The permit will allow unlimited use of the dog parks through December 31, 2010.

You may apply for a permit by completing and returning the permit application along with proof of your dog's vaccination and Louisville Metro registration (click here if you don't have a dog license ).
