Dog Park

The Lake in the Hills Dog Park was developed with dogs and owners in mind; shade, drinking water, onsite parking and a large area for dogs to run and socialize. 

The Dog Park provides year-round opportunities for dogs (and owners) to socialize as well as exercise.  Both are important to the animal’s health and temperament. A dog park promotes responsible pet ownership as well as allows dogs to legally run off-leash.

The “Scoop on Poop”
ALWAYS carry equipment sufficient to clean up your dog’s waste. Dog waste is not only offensive, it can spread disease and parasites to other dogs and humans. Do not allow your dog to defecate on any public property, unless you immediately remove and properly dispose of the waste.

Dog Conflicts
Due to the concentration of dogs, dog conflicts may occur. It is the responsibility of the owners/handlers to maintain their dog. To prevent injuries, supervise your dog at all times. If your dog inflicts an injury, give your name and phone number to the those involved, before leaving the area.
