Dog Park Rules

Enter at Your Own Risk
You are entering an off-leash dog park and you enter at your own risk. Dog owners or guardians are legally responsible for any damage, injury, or illness your dog(s) may cause to itself, other dogs, other people or yourself. Neither PAWS, the City of Vacaville, their officers, employees, agents or volunteers will be responsible in any way for people or their pets while in the dog park.

PAWS reserves the right to change these rules at any time

• Dog owners/guardians must accept full responsibility for themselves, their children/guests and their dog(s) while in the park. Owners are legally responsible for any damage, injury, or illness your dog(s) may cause to itself, other dogs, other people or yourself.

• Owners must carry a leash at all times. Please leash and unleash your dog inside the double-gated holding area. Never carry your dog into the Dog Park. Never open more than one gate at a time. If an owner and his/her dog(s) is in the holding area, stand outside and wait for him/her to enter or exit.

• Dogs must wear a collar with identification at all times, be licensed and vaccinated, healthy (have no contagious conditions or diseases), and be parasite-free.

• Dogs showing aggression towards people or other animals must be immediately removed from the park by the owners/guardians. If you feel that you or your dog is in danger, simply leave the park, report the situation, and come back another day.

• Owners should not leave their dogs unattended or allowed out of sight.

• Minor children must be accompanied by an adult. Parents should refrain from bringing toddlers or small children into the park, unless they are willing to keep the children out of harm’s way, totally under control and accept full responsibility for their safety. Please remember this is a Dog Park and not a playground for children. If your children create problems for owners and their dogs, you may be asked by other participants to leave the Dog Park for safety’s sake. Children should not run with the dogs or chase them while in the park.

• Puppies under four months of age are prohibited as they are not yet protected from diseases.

• Owners must clean up after their dogs. Waste disposal bags and trash cans are provided free.

• Owners must stop dogs from digging and immediately fill holes.
