When using the Dog Park, please keep the following in mind:

Most ‘scuffles’ occur as a new dog enters the park and is greeted by others already playing. Whether you are already playing or just entering, please be aware of this and take precautions if necessary.

Please remember to bring water for your dog, as there is no water provided at the park site. There are two large water bowls at the park so if you have extra water when you leave, please consider leaving your extra for the next pooch. If you forget to bring water, disposable water bowls and water will be available at the zoo entrance.
