DOG PARK

Proposed Rules

The City of Chariton and the Dog Park Committee are excited to have the opportunity for members of the community to enjoy this dog park. 

​

We do ask that everyone who visits follows the rules: 

• Everyone is responsible for their own dog and it's actions, including but not limited to: attacks on both dogs and humans, waste pick up after their dog, digging of holes, and other actions of their dog. 

• Each person is limited to two dogs during their visit inside the fenced in area. 

• Dogs with aggressive tendencies should not be in the park. Any dog showing signs of aggression should be removed from the premises immediately. 

• Only dogs are allowed in the gated area. 

• No puppies under the age of four (4) months are allowed, due to vaccinations and age. 

• No female dogs in heat allowed. 

• Prior to entering and upon leaving the fenced area, all dogs must be leashed. 

• Leashes are to be no more than 6 feet in length. 

• No pinch, prong, or spike collars on dogs are allowed. 

• Owners must closely supervise their dogs and, at no time, can leave them alone. 

• Children under 16 years old must be supervised by adults. 

• No children under the age of five (5) are permitted in the park. (Small children, especially running children, may be regarded as prey animals by strange dogs.)

• No food or drink is allowed in the fenced in area of the dog park (for both humans and dogs.)

• Smoking and alcohol are not permitted.

• No wheeled vehicles are allowed in the park unless used for a disability. 

• All dogs in the dog park must have their vaccinations up-to-date, including rabies and parvo. Owners must be able to show vaccination information on request while visiting. 

• Dog owners who do not adhere to the rules set by the City of Chariton and the Dog Park Committee will be requested to leave and/or banned from future use of the dog park.
