Park Reminders

As the weather continues to warm up we expect more and more people out in our parks. Here a few reminders to help keep everyone safe and our Village parks looking great:

1.) Pets in Parks

The Village Board recently revised the Village Code of Ordinances to allow all domestic pets in village parks and trails while on leash at all times.  Per the ordinance, pets are still not allowed in park buildings, in playgrounds, on sport fields, or in picnic areas.  We would like to also remind all pet owners and custodians to clean up and properly dispose of all pet waste immediately from all park grounds and trails.

2.) No Smoking in Parks

The Allouez Village Board of Trustees has recently approved a village ordinance prohibiting smoking and electronic smoking devices in all village parks and trails.

ORDINANCE 2016-09, SECTION 31.41, SMOKING PROHIBITED WITHIN AND UPON ALL VILLAGE PARKLANDS AND TRAILS

The purpose for the creation of this ordinance is to protect the health, welfare, and safety of the public as well as reduce littering upon public grounds.
