Dog Park Rules Could Include No Female Dogs in Heat

Rules for Diamond Bar’s new dog park will be discussed at the July 17 City Council meeting.

Several of the standard rules are included in the draft list being presented to the council. The proposed rules also include:

• Owners cannot bring more than 3 dogs at a time
• No female dogs in heat
• No spiked dog collars on the pets
• No children under 14 are allowed without a parent or guardian

“There are 26 rules on the attached draft that are recommended for the dog park,” said Bob Rose, Director of Community Services. “These rules are intended to provide a safe and pleasant experience at the dog park for both users and their dogs.”

The full report with the entire list of proposed rules is included with this article.

Construction crews were scheduled to begin work Monday. The park will be built adjacent to Pantera Park. Plans include two enclosures, a 19,400-square-foot area for small dogs less than 25 pounds, the other a 39,400-square-foot area for large dogs 25 pounds or larger.

A 6-foot-high chain link fence will surround the enclosures. The park will have American with Disabilities Act accessible drinking fountain with pet bowl, hose bibs for additional water access, trash receptacles, park benches, ADA accessible walkway leading to trail and doggie walk waste bags.

The council will meet at 6:30 p.m. at the AQMD/Government Center auditorium, 21865 Copley Drive.
