A MESSAGE FROM CHUCK, THE DOG
Dear Friends, please pick up after your pooch. Parks & Recreation provides dog waste bags and garbage bins for your convenience. Consider the health & wellness of our community, the cleanliness of our green spaces, and the Parks Maintenance Crew - who ultimately have to clean it up if you don't.
Also, I like snacks.
WORK FOR A LIVING. PLAY FOR A LIFE.
