Dog Lovers: Clean Up After Your Pet
For dog owners, access to Regional Parks is one of the best features of the East Bay Regional Park District. While many other park agencies limit or ban dog access, the Park District allows them at most parks with specific rules to maintain safety, cleanliness, and protect wildlife.
One important Park District rule is that dog owners must clean up after their pets. Dog waste smells, contains pathogens and diseases that threaten wildlife, and is a major eyesore that takes away from enjoying nature – even when bagged.
Leaving poop bags on trails is not acceptable and is considered litter. There are even attachable poop bag holders to help carry dog waste on a leash, so the bags do not need to be carried by hand.
