No Shit: Dogs Not Allowed In Carroll Park Play Areas

NO SHIT: NO DOGS ALLOWED IN PLAY AREAS.
NO EXCUSES. GET IT?

NOT IN THE ROCK GARDEN

NOT IN THE TODDLER AREA

NOT IN THE SPRINKLER AREA

NOT IN THE BIG KID AREA

DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON LEASHES AROUND THE MONUMENT

AND IN THE SITTING AREA ALONG SMITH STREET

GET IT?
Last week, a mother wrote to the Committee To Improve Carroll Park to say that her baby sitter had seen a lot of dog feces in the toddler play area of the park. As a member of the committee, I reached out to the Parks Department. Parks verified that the rules are clear:

No dogs are allowed in playgrounds or ball fields. Dogs on leashes are only allowed in Carroll Park's passive seating areas near the monument area and along the front of Smith Street.

To enforce the rules and to discourage rogue dog owners, new signs have been posted .
