Small and/or timid dogs have priority in the Small Dog Area at all times. Other park users are allowed to use the Small Dog Area if it is not in use. Example of acceptable use include new dog introductions, dogs new to a dog park setting, etc. However, small and/or timid dogs have priority to use the Small Dog Area at all times. Small dogs are not excluded from the main dog park, and can use either space as their comfort allows. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Behavior</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Gates must be closed immediately after entering or exiting park.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dogs must be kept leashed until inside the park lobby. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>When a dog enters the park, owners/custodians should control their dogs to allow access to the newcomer. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Do not keep your dog on leash inside park unless there is a good reason (e.g., you just had to separate 2 dogs, or/and you are leading your dog out).</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dogs must be under control and in sight of owner/custodian at all times.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Leaving dogs unattended is prohibited. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Park users are responsible for picking up their dog’s feces.
