Dog deposits are becoming a mounting problem at Buck Park. Our maintenance crew has, from time to time, voluntarily helped in this regard, but we don’t budget for this and need to ask all dog owners visiting Buck Park to please take responsibility for your pet’s ‘contributions.’

We know that most of you are responsible with your pets and suspect that much of this occurs when dogs are roaming, off leash and out of sight of their owners. But we can’t blame the dogs and, in fact, they are not actually allowed off leash at Buck Park. If you want to let your dog roam, we are a very fortunate community indeed to have a public Dog Park only a couple hundred yards away where this is allowed.

Your tax dollars have paid for a Buck Park that is better maintained than it has been in years – how about let’s keep it clean so everyone can enjoy it.
