Choose a designated off-leash area
Dogs normally need a leash on public property and in city parks. Off-leash permission applies to the signed area, not the whole surrounding park. The dedicated Animal Services page supplies the permanent entrances used below; some older park tables use different addresses.
The complete current source scope is four permanent parks and eight ward pop-ups. Keep dogs leashed when entering or leaving. Handlers must remain inside the fence, keep full control and clean up waste.

Small-dog areas are limited to dogs weighing at most 20 pounds and measuring no more than 12 inches at the shoulder. Food, treats and glass containers are prohibited.
