- DO NOT bring your dog to the dog park if you are sick or if you have been in close contact with anyone that is sick
- Dogs should not share toys, treats, or other materials with dogs that are not within the same household
- Visitors of dog parks should supply their own bags associated with dog waste and take dog waste with them if designated trash receptacles are not available for normal use
