Dog Park Waste

Several people have been telling me about dog droppings left in the park that have not been picked up and what we should do about them. We do have some very dedicated park patrons who graciously patrol the park every morning picking up the droppings from the previous day, and I definitely thank them for their hard work and diligence.

It is up to the individual dog owners to pick up after their dogs and remove the waste they make. We do have signs that were generously donated put up in the park to remind people to keep an eye on their dogs and pick up after them.

The main purpose of FIDO is as a fund raising organization, and not for the purpose of maintenance of the dog park on a daily basis. FIDO can help to organize people for fund raising, obtaining a kiosk, ground cover, and water, but FIDO has NO power over the day to day activities or rule enforcement at the dog park. It is up to the individual dog owners to control their dogs, pick up the waste and keep the park clean.

The rules on the dog park sign are based on the rules at other dog parks around the country, and must be reviewed by the city of South Euclid Law director prior to posting at the dog park.

Please help keep our dog park a clean and healthy place to have fun.

See you all at the dog park
