Important Information for Dog Owners from Newtown Parks & Rec

Parks and Recreation LOVE DOGS!

However we have received some complaints from parents and participants at sports events so we would like to remind all dog owners of the following rules regarding dogs:

Dogs are not permitted at any Town Park or athletic field location, with the exception of service animals. Dogs are permitted at The Park and Bark Dog Park. At all other parks, dogs are not permitted on the premises. Dogs may not be on the athletic fields, within playground areas or on tennis courts. Leashed animals are permitted on the walking trails only at Orchard Hill preserve and at the Fairfield Hills Municipal Campus.

Please respect other users and remember to pick up after your pets. Sports groups need to communicate this policy with coaches and participants. Coaches please be sure this message is made clear to opposing teams or when hosting special events.

Thank you!
