The park does not permit Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, or Rottweilers, including mixes of those breeds.

Cats are not permitted to roam the property and we ask that you please keep them indoors.  We occasionally will setup traps to capture stray cats and turn them over to a shelter or county animal control officer.  If we trap any cats that have a tag which clearly identifies them as being owned by a park guest, we will release the cat the first time and provide a warning to the guest.  Any subsequent capture(s) of the same cat will be turned over to a shelter or county animal control officer.

Pet owners are responsible for any property damage, injury, and disturbances caused by their pets.
