Seems it has come time for another reminder post that dogs are more than welcome in the park but they must be on a leash at all times. Yes, we know the park isn't as busy but there are still people utilizing all areas of the park including the trails. So for the safety of other visitors, their dogs and the safety of your own dog, please keep your dog leashed at all times, including on the trails.
