Will I have to go to the park in the dark?

Due to the weird hour restrictions, the answer to that question will soon be "Yes" if you plan on taking advantage of the evening hours at "shared" parks. In the chart below, you can see that beginning sometime in very early September, it will be dark, or almost dark, by 8 pm, the time when you can legally take your off-leash pooch to one of the priveledged few parks in town. That situation will last for two full months until the "Fall Hours" kick in November 1.

If your "Shared Use" park happens to be next to a school, please note that your daily allocated park use time (morning plus evening) will amount to less than an hour a day for much of December and January.



It's also worth noting that no other park activity is limited by time of day like dog activities are.
