TAKING DOGS TO OTHER PARKS

• Events or festivals may choose to not allow pets.  This is up to the event organizer.  Dogs must be on a leash at events outside of Morad or Lake McKenzie Dog Parks.
• Scoop the Poop - When taking your dog to the park or walking them on streets or pathways, don't forget to bring a waste bag.  Some parks have poop bag stations to help owners pick up.  Even if there are no stations, pet owners are required by city ordinance to pick up after their pet.
