It is very important that you and your dog follow the rules. These rules have been established to assure the safety of all dogs and dog owners who enter the dog parks.
1. Entry into the dog park is at the risk of the dog owners or handlers. Dog owners or handlers are responsible and liable for any damage to property, persons, or other animals caused by their dog(s). 2. All dogs must remain on leash until they are inside the dog park. The official dog park tag must be displayed on the dog(s) at all times. Choke, pinch, studded, and chain collars as well as gentle leaders must be removed upon entering the dog park. 3. Dog owners or handlers shall not have more than three dogs in the dog park at one time. All dogs shall be accompanied and supervised by an adult owner or handler at all times. Dog owners or handlers shall remove their dog(s) at the first sign of aggressive behavior. 4. The small dog area is limited to dogs weighing less than 30 pounds. If small dog owners are comfortable letting their small dog play in the main area then they may do so. 5. All dogs must have current Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, and Bordetella (Kennel Cough) vaccinations. A Rabies tag must be worn and displayed by all dogs at all times. It is also recommended that dogs be on a flea and heartworm preventative medication. 6. All dogs must be licensed through Louisville Metro Animal Services as required by Louisville Metro Animal Control Ordinance (not applicable to non-Louisville residents). 7. Do not bring a dog into the dog park that you know to be ill with a viral infection (kennel cough, Parvo, Distemper), a parasitic infection (worms, fleas, ticks), or has any open wounds. 8. All owners or handlers must pick up any waste left by their dog(s) to ensure cleanliness and to avoid potential health risks. Failure to do so may result in loss of park privileges. Bags have been provided so please use them. 9. Children under the age of 10 are not allowed in the dog park. Children over the age of ten must be accompanied by an adult. 10. Food (both human and canine varieties) and glass containers are not allowed inside the dog park. Smoking is also prohibited within the dog park. Please place all litter into the provided trash receptacles. 11. Dogs under four months of age are not permitted in the dog park. This is for their own safety, as puppies under four months old usually do not have fully developed immune systems and have not completed a full program of vaccinations. 12. Female dogs in heat may not enter the dog park. 13. Dogs, owners, and park users creating a disturbance or violating posted rules must immediately leave the dog park if requested by LDRA officials, law enforcement personnel, park personnel, or their designated agents. Persistent violation of rules can result in revocation of park privileges. 14. E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park, Louisville Metro Parks and/or the Louisville Dog Run Association reserve the right to close the dog park at their discretion. |
