Leash Law
It is unlawful for any animal to be in or upon any city park, street, sidewalk or trail property unless the owner or person in control of the animal restrains the animal by a leash. The only exception to this is the Aspen Park area. Trail access to the Park is located across the street from Golden Lake Park.
