Pets
Your parks are a great place to
walk your furry four-legged
friend. Please be a
responsible pet owner and
clean up after them. Pet waste
transmits disease. Dog waste
bags are located at Ferguson
Grove, McLane, and
Hendrickson Parks. It is
always a good idea when
walking your pet to bring
along a bag just in case bags
are not available. PETS
MUST BE ON A LEASH AT
ALL TIMES. Ordinance
