Doggy Beach
Dogs feel the heat too. To cool them off, take them to the
Doggy Beach located
at Peach Orchard Beach. This is a fenced beach area and owners are asked to
obey all signage and to use good
judgment with their animals. As per
signage posted, dogs are also now
allowed to run at Peach Orchard
Beach from approx. October - April.
Please be sure to use your doggies
bags!!
Owner Responsibility
Responsible
owners license and vaccinate their
dogs. If you leave home with your
dog, be prepared to clean up after
it by carrying plastic bags. The
municipality has joined in the clean up effort by placing several doggy bag
stands throughout the downtown area for owner convenience. Please feel free to
grab one "just in case". If you want to take your dog on the road with you,
please know that all dogs traveling in vehicles must be tethered or confined.
It is recommended that you use a leash no longer than 2 m (6.5ft).
You must have your dog on a leash while on a highway, in a park or other public
place unless it is a designated dog area, and try to stay at least 10m (30 ft)
away from playgrounds. Please look for and obey all signage.
