Attention Dog Owners and Park Users
We want to notify you that next to all Mutt-Mitt dispensers there is also a dispenser which will hold plastic grocery bags. We want to encourage everyone who uses the parks to contribute their extra plastic grocery bags to the dispensers. Due to the tightening of the budget we are limited on how many Mutt-Mitt bags we can buy. However, with your help there should be plenty of plastic bags available on-site to help with the removal of dog waste.
