Dog Park Committee

Dog Park LogoThe Richmond Dog Park Committee has developed a beautiful, well-maintained space open to all dog lovers and friends who are willing to uphold the park’s posted rules, restrictions and regulations. This park is a community asset, designed to satisfy the needs of dog owners and non-dog owners alike. The dog park provides personal and community enrichment through the promotion and well-being of the citizens and canines of Richmond and surrounding communities. Our regional park will be fully accessible, eco-friendly, and bring the community together.

Mission

The mission of the Richmond Dog Park is to establish a safe, fenced-in, sustainable, and owner-supervised off-leash dog park where well-behaved canine citizens can satisfy their socialization needs, interests and exercise in a clean, safe environment without endangering or annoying people, property or wildlife.

Dog Park Rules

Be nice

  • Don't come before dawn or leave after dusk. 
  • Parking is available and easy to get to. 
  • Respect peace, privacy and property of the neighbors.

Be Safe

  • Let your dog off leash only AFTER YOU'VE ENTERED through and closed the outer gate.
  • Prong (spike) and choke collars must be removed prior to entry.
  • Puppies must be at least 4 months old to enter the fenced-in area.
  • Never leave your dog unsupervised. Unattended dogs will be impounded.
  • Supervise no more than 2 dogs per adult per visit.
  • You must be at least 16 years old to bring a dog into the park unless accompanied by an adult.
  • Children under the age of 10 are not allowed inside the fenced-in area.
  • Provide water and a bowl for your dog.

Be Respectful

  • Dogs must have a current town dog license on non-choke collar, and be inoculated, parasite-free and healthy.
  • NO POOP LEFT BEHIND! Owners must immediately clean up after their dog. Not following this rule will result in the park being locked.
  • Do not smoke or bring glass containers or alcohol into the park. 
  • No matter how cute your dog looks while digging, please ask them not to dig in the park, and promptly fill in the holes they dug. (if your dog is a professional digger, you might need to bring your own)
  • Remember, YOU are the owner! Owners must always be in verbal control of their dogs to prevent aggressive behavior and carry a leash. 
  • Everyone has their moods, but if your furry friend becomes rough or unruly, we ask you to promptly leash him/her and leave for the day. Dogs exhibiting a continuous history of aggressive behavior will not be allowed back in the park indefinitely.
  • Please don't bring your female dogs in heat in the park.

And Remember:

  • Owners are legally responsible and liable for their dogs and any injuries caused by them. 
  • Violators will be removed from the park. Repeat offenders will be banned indefinitely.
