Dogs in ParksSeveral citizens have recently expressed concern about dogs notbeing on a leash and concerns about citizens not removing dogwaste while walking their dogs in park areas. Dogs are welcome inthe parks as long as the handler has the animal on a leash (less than6 ft. in length) and properly cleans up after the animal. The citationfor violation of ordinance 184-14(B) Dogs not on leash is $101.40and the citation for violation of ordinance 152-10(I) Dog wastenot removed is $120.30. These ordinances will be enforced bythe New Berlin Police Department. However, during softball andsoccer seasons, the Parks & Recreation Department has experiencedsome problems with dogs in the parks mixing with sports partici-pants and spectators.
