There are some unacceptable behaviors that have been occurring at the Gardiner Dog Park that need to be addressed:
1. More than one individual(s) have been coming down to the park under the influence, not only is this a danger to themselves, the dogs, and park goers;
This is a danger to the COMMUNITY as you should by UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. Dogs have been injured by such actions, IF you come down and seem to be under the influence and are: making a disturbance, causing scene, making the dogs/ owners uncomfortable, the police WILL be notified.
2. Cigarette butts have been found throughout the area of the park. Every park in Gardiner is TO***CO FREE, INCLUDING THE DOG PARK. This is a danger to the dogs who could easily mistake it for a treat and eat it, or even new puppies who cannot distinguish trash or treats. Please refrain from smoking inside the park and disposing of ci******es inside the park. Please exit the park to smoke and dispose of your cigarette butts in the proper manner. If you are found smoking and/or disposing of your ci******es on park grounds, the police will be notified.
Thank you for your continuing cooperation to keep the park clean and safe for both the dogs and the community.
