Board of Parks Meeting tonight-Dogs in Parks

Update!

The Dogs in Parks Policy was adopted last week.  For a list of god free parks click here

Hello,
This topic was in the WSJ today, a correction was made via the online version found here. The proposed policy doesn't exclude parks with playground. 
"In general, dogs are allowed in all Madison parks except for the following park classifications/areas/uses:
• Conservation parks
• Burial mounds
• City of Madison Golf Courses (during the golf season)
• Olbrich Botanical Gardens
• Playgrounds and areas within 20 feet of a playground surface
• Splash parks, fenced areas(s) surrounding a splash park, and areas within 20 feet of the splash park surface
• Goodman Pool and Breese Stevens Field (except for special events where dogs are specifically invited)
• Programmed sports fields and facilities that are enclosed or substantially enclosed by a fence, whether in use or not"

The full policy to be reviewed can be found here
