Town Of Danville : Residents Reminded Of Danville Leash Ordinance

Press release from the Town of Danville:

January 24, 2022

The Town of Danville is calling on residents to follow Town ordinances and keep their dogs on leash while out and about.

A common complaint in Danville’s community parks and school parks is pets who are being allowed off-leash by their guardians. This is occurring in areas where children play and user groups have activities ranging from picnics to sports activities. This creates several issues, including:

All Dog owners are responsible for keeping their pets on leash, cleaning up after them, and preventing them from damaging grounds in parks and schools. Contra Costa County and Town ordinances require that dogs must be kept on leash. For those who wish to take their dogs off-leash, it is recommended they use the Canine Corral Dog Park at Hap Magee Ranch Park.
