A CAUTION about CHILDREN ::.

This is a DOG PARK and is not a safe place for children to play. All children entering the park must be in the company of an adult and under close supervision at all times. A screaming, running or unattended child may become a natural target for dogs that are bred to herd, hunt, chase or guard. Even a playful dog can knock over or inadvertently run over a child.

A note about Animal Control ::.

Animal Control has the authority to patrol Clark County, including our dog parks. In fact, we welcome their presence, as a deterrent to unsafe and unlawful behavior.

In addition to license, leash, and scoop, your dog must wear their required license at all times, failure to wear a required license may result in monetary penalties pursuant to VMC 8.24.020, CCC 8.07, CCC 8.11.060, WMC 2.20, WMC 8.00.

Pet license fees pay for important programs that protect you and your pet. The animal emergency assistance, public education, and stray-vicious-cruelty-noise investigation, are all supported by license fees.
