Woof! Dogs Now Allowed In Greenfield Parks

GREENFIELD, WI — Officials in Greenfield voted Tuesday to allow dogs into Greenfield parks for the first time.

According to a report by the Journal Sentinel early Wednesday, dogs will have to remain on leashes, stay on marked pathways, be kept away from the Amp amphitheater in Konkel Park. Dogs will also be restricted from picnic areas, children's play areas, and designated athletic fields, according to city officials.

Prior to Tuesday's vote, all dogs and cats were banned from city parks, with the exception of dogs for the sight-impaired.

And on top of those limitations, dogs aren't allowed at the city's Independence Day celebration, Dan Jansen Family Festival, and the Greenfield Farmers Market.

According to Wednesday's report, Alderman Bruce Bailey said that dogs are already allowed in Milwaukee County parks, except near playgrounds, sports, and picnic areas.
