Bring at most three dogs, each with current rabies tags. Leash them going in and out, keep them under visual and voice control inside, and leave food, treats and glass bottles at home.
In detail
The City of Dallas off-leash rules, which apply to all of its dog park sites, in the order of a visit.
Before you leave home.
Each dog must wear tags showing a current rabies vaccination. Dogs of Dallas residents must also be registered with the city. Dogs that are known to be dangerous or aggressive, and female dogs in heat, may not come in.
Count your dogs.
One person may bring no more than three dogs at one time.
At the gate.
Lead the dog on a leash when entering and exiting. Remove any pinch, prong or spiked collar before entering the fenced area. Inside the off-leash site the leash comes off.
Inside the park.
Keep the dog under visual and voice control at all times, and take it out at the first sign of aggression. Fill any hole the dog digs.
What to leave out.
Food and treats, for dogs or people, are not permitted. Glass bottles are not permitted.
Clean up and report.
Put dog waste in the receptacles provided. A bite or scratch to a person must be reported to Dallas Animal Control.
Tip. The city's rules say that breaking them is punishable by a fine of up to $2000.
