Park rules

PARK RULES The following rules are based on the DC Municipal Regulations (DCMR), Chapter 7, Title 19 (Amusements, Parks and Recreation). Shaw Dog Park Association is the sponsoring dog park group primarily responsible for enforcement of these rules, with the assistance of the DC Department of Parks and Recreation, the DC Metropolitan Police Department and other DC agencies. Usage of Shaw Dog Park signifies your agreement to abide by these rules. The Dog Park Committee reserves the right: (1) to suspend or ban individual dog owners and/or individual dogs from use of the dog park in the case of persistent or repeated violations of these rules; and, (2) without prior notice to modify these rules. 1. HOURS : The hours of operation of Shaw Dog Park are Monday-Friday 7:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, Sunday 8:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. No persons or dogs are permitted within the dog park (a) when it is locked and (b) between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. 2. LIABILITY : All persons use Shaw Dog Park at their own risk. Neither the District of Columbia, its agencies nor Shaw Dog Park Association shall be liable for any injury or damage caused in the dog park. Every dog entering the dog park shall be accompanied by a person (“dog handler”) aged sixteen (16) years or older who shall be personally and legally responsible for that dog at all times while using the dog park. No unattended dogs are permitted and no more than three (3) dogs are permitted per dog handler. 3. PROHIBITIONS : Shaw Dog Park is not a recreation area for use by children or by adults without dogs. Children under sixteen (16) years of age may enter the dog park only when accompanied and supervised by an adult. The following items are prohibited from the dog park: alcohol, food, glass containers, soccer or other sports equipment. Any balls for use by dogs or other dog toys are brought into the dog park at your own risk. 4. CAPACITY : The maximum number of dogs permitted within the main enclosure of Shaw Dog Park is twenty-eight (28). The maximum number permitted within the small enclosure is five (5). Only dogs weighing less than twenty-five (25) pounds, senior dogs and physically challenged dogs are permitted in the small enclosure. When the maximum capacity is reached in the main enclosure or the small enclosure, handlers in those enclosures shall limit their dog’s stay to thirty (30) minutes or less when others are waiting. 5. NOISE : Persistent barking by dogs is not permitted. Dog handlers shall control barking or remove their dog from Shaw Dog Park. In addition, dog handlers are not permitted to create excessive (human) noise at any time while using the dog park. Handlers shall strictly control noise levels between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. If requested to do so by a nearby resident, church congregant, user of the athletic field, school official or other DC official, please reduce your noise level. 6. PARK ENTRY/EXIT : Entry to Shaw Dog Park is via a double entry gate system so as to ensure no dogs can escape from the park. Both entry gates shall not be opened at the same time and handlers are required to close each gate securely after use. This is an off-leash dog park and it is preferred that leashes be removed on entry. Leashes must be replaced when exiting. All dogs using the park shall wear a collar. However, the use of retractable leashes and spike or choke collars is not permitted in the dog park. 7. DOG CONTROL / DANGEROUS DOGS : Dog handlers shall accompany, maintain visual contact, and have voice control over their dog(s) at all times while using Shaw Dog Park. While vigorous dog play is encouraged, aggressive dogs are not permitted and any dog behaving aggressively shall be immediately leashed and removed from the dog park by its handler. Dogs that have been legally designated as “dangerous dogs” are not permitted in the dog park. Dog handlers shall report all animal bites to the Department of Health within twenty-four (24) hours in accordance with communicable disease laws, and shall comply with all animal control, dangerous dog and communicable disease laws and regulations before entering the dog park. 8. WASTE REMOVAL : Dog handlers shall collect and bag all solid waste created by their dog(s) while in the dog park and dispose of it in the designated on-site “Dogipot” receptacles. If the park’s Dogipots and regular trash receptacles are full: (1) bag and carry out your dog’s poop and other trash for disposal in an alternative public trash can or in your home trash can; and (2) e-mail [email protected] or call (330) 737-1364 to inform the committee about the full trash cans. 9.

Spacious backyard right in the heart of Arlington! Your pup should enjoy a place to run around even in the city. Parking: I had a gravel drive way feel free to park in and behind my car if I’m home. There’s also a parking lot next to me that has two hour free parking. Note: my house is right off Glebe so you can hear cars passing while in the back, but it is pretty sheltered from people passing on the sidewalk.

Willow Tree Yard

Fully Fenced
0.17 acres

**Potential noise/distraction warning for sensitive dogs: There is a new house being built on a lot near our spot, and sounds from the construction work might disturb some dogs (or people). The timing of the workers is unpredictable and out of our control, but they are finished by 6pm most days, and they haven’t been working most Sundays. If you make a reservation, I will give you a heads up if they are working that day, so that you can decide whether to reschedule.** Description: Let your dog run free in our backyard that has a wooden privacy fence. They can play or lounge under our large weeping willow tree, and we have many other amenities for dogs and people (see pictures and amenities list for details). Seating/shelter: The lower deck has 3 lawn chairs and a canopy for protection from sun/rain. The upper deck (accessible via stairs in the backyard) has 2 rocking chairs and a picnic table with 4 chairs. Use of the shed in the backyard is not an option (it will be locked). Parking: There is easy free street parking in our cul-de-sac, and the entrance gate to our yard is marked with a sign. Operating hours: We are open all day on most Saturdays/Sundays (plus some Fridays and holidays), and on weekday evenings. For after-dark visits, our yard has lighting, and we can also provide a flashlight for you and a clip-on light for your dog (2 available). Note 1: There is a public sidewalk that runs along the outside of the fence on one side of our yard. So, people occasionally walk by (and sometimes have their dog walking with them). The fence is a bit higher than 5 feet on that side, so people can be seen/heard briefly, and a passing dog could be heard/smelled by your dog if they are near the fence at the time. Most people have said this was not a significant issue for their dogs, but I'm stating it here for the awareness of people with more reactive dogs. Note 2: When walking between your vehicle and the gate to our backyard, there may sometimes be other people or dogs on the street/sidewalk or in their front yards. Or there may sometimes be someone from our household leaving or arriving home (which involves walking between the front door and a car in our driveway). So please keep your dog on leash until you are inside the backyard with the gate closed (per standard SniffSpot rules).

Spacious Half Acre Off-Leash Retreat

Fully Fenced

Our home sits on a half-acre of space, giving plenty of room to roam without feeling overwhelming. It's perfect for a good game of fetch, leisurely sniffing along the edges of the yard, or just relaxing in the sun. Whether your dog is a zoomies-all-day type or prefers a slower, sniff-everything pace, there's room here for both.
