Dogs must be kept on a leash and on the trails
at all times while in all City of Pasadena Parks, with the exception of
Alice's Dog Park
off-leash area in Vina Vieja Park.
According to
Municipal
Code Sections 6.12.010 & 6.12.015: Violation is subject to a $500 fine
and/or 6 mo. in jail
Why
must dogs be kept on leash?
Some people are intimidated by dogs, even friendly ones. While keeping
a dog leashed prevents discomfort for other park users, it can also save
a dogs life from the threat of passing cars. In addition, many parks
support a variety of wildlife. Dogs that are not on a leash or stray
from the trail can disturb the natural activities of these animals. An
encounter with wildlife can also endanger the health and safety of your
pet.
Please clean up after your pet! Dog
waste along trails is a nuisance to encounter and contaminates the local
water supply. Park regulations, common courtesy, and good judgment all
require that you take special care when bringing your pet to Pasadena
natural areas. Thank you for your cooperation!
Off Leash Areas
The
only park within the City of Pasadena that allows off-leash dogs
is Alice's Dog Park at Vina Vieja Park,
which is located on the east side of Pasadena, south side of Orange Grove
Boulevard between Sierra Madre Boulevard and Sierra Madre Villa (map).
At the park, there are designated areas for large and small dogs, water
and dog waste stations.
Dog Obedience Training
Pasanita
Obedience club has conducted novice, open and utility training classes
for over 60 years on Wednesday evenings in Brookside Park. The training
facilities at Brookside Park have improved through the years from an
asphalt parking lot to a large dirt area, to what is now considered the
ultimate in training areas – a beautiful grass area with modern
lighting and public address system and also a club equipment building.
Novice classes are also conducted on Saturday mornings. For more
information, please see the Pasanita Obedience Club
