(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to allow or permit any horses, dogs or other domestic animals to run at large in the park and it shall be unlawful to ride any animal in any park except upon designated and marked bridle trails or at a special event or activity approved by the Town Manager or designated official. Dogs must be leashed at all times and no more than 4 feet from the owner at any time except within designated off leash areas. Pet owners are required to clean-up pet excrement prior to leaving the immediate area. Service dogs are allowed in all park areas with their owner. Service dogs must remain leashed unless a restraint prohibits the animal from successfully performing its trained service. Animals are not permitted to pull any individual on skates, rollerblades, scooters, skateboards, or bicycles with the exception of trained service animals. The Henderson County Animal Ordinance (Section 66A, Henderson County Code) is enforced in all parks, and trails.

Only 2 pets are allowed per handler at any given time within the fenced area. Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to enter the fenced Dog Park areas. Additional rules and regulations are posted at the site and must be obeyed by all patrons using the Dog Park.
