Dog Park Rules:
- Canine and human members and visitors
are expected to behave with common courtesy and respect for
the property as well as the other park users.
- Owners must stay with their dogs as they
move around the park. Owners are expected to control their
dogs, and to encourage and supervise them as they move
around the park.
- Dogs are expected to have basic
obedience training and respond to voice commands.
- All park dogs must be evaluated and
approved to use the park. If you get a new dog, obtain a
foster dog, or are pet sitting a dog, they must be
evaluated, have proof of vaccinations, and obtain a day pass
before they are permitted to enter the park.
- Dogs that are exhibiting symptoms of an
illness or injury are not permitted into the park.
- Owners will assume responsibility and
liability for the actions and behaviors of their dogs at all
times, including loss, damage or injury of any kind
sustained by any human or dog while using Royal Acres
Country Club.
- No choke or prong collars are allowed in
the park. They can snag on trees, fences, furniture, as well
as another dog's mouth.
- Please clean up after your dog. The
necessary supplies are provided for you.
- Puppies must be four months old and have
completed puppy shots.
- No female dogs in season are allowed in
the park.
- No children under 10 years old (and no

dog only.
- Please keep treats in a sealed plastic
bag, and be discreet when dispensing them. Do not “share”
treats with other dogs without owner’s permission.
- Frisbees, balls, and retrieval toys are
allowed and encouraged, but be prepared to “share” with
other park visitors (Please don’t bring “favorite” toys as
they may be misplaced/lost within the park.)

but owners must carry the leash.
