| As of January, 2002, the City now has a leash
law which requires that dogs be on a leash and under control in all city
parks, except for inside the fenced off-leash area at Azalea
Park, and for certain designated portions of the Rivanna
Greenbelt Trail only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Pay
attention to the signs! This time-sharing option is being provided
on a 6 month trial basis; successful compliance will determine whether
time-sharing will be extended beyond that time. Violations
of the City leash law are a Class 4 Misdemeanor.
Darden Towe Park, although
jointly funded by the City, is a County park governed by County regulations.
Dogs must be on leash and under control in Darden Towe except for inside
the newly created fenced off-leash area located about 200 feet east of
the picnic shelter. (The picnic shelter is located at the north
end of the upper parking lot.)
Remember, since 2001 the City also has a law requiring
cleanup of dog feces -- look for the plastic poop bag dispensers/waste
containers in the parks. Failure to clean up after a dog in your
care is a Class 4 misdemeanor. |
