At Canine Meadow Dog Park, creating a safe and welcoming space for our furry companions goes paw-in-paw with being mindful neighbors to the community around us. 🐾

Here’s how you can pitch in:
✅ Visit only during park hours (sunrise to ½ hour past sunset)
✅ Avoid arriving early or staying late
✅ Curb excessive barking in the early morning out of consideration for nearby residents
✅ Stay close to your dog and quickly address any disruptive behavior

If early morning disturbances continue, park hours may be adjusted to open later. Let’s work together to keep Canine Meadow a great place for everyone!
