Although many SUNA residents walk their dogs to University Park at 23rd St. and University Ave., we do not as of yet have an official off leash park inside SUNA boundries. Please keep in mind the following rules when caring for your pet:
Parks Policies, City of Eugene
(1) No pet shall be left unattended and unsupervised in a City park or open space area.
(2) Dogs are prohibited in park and open space areas posted as no dog areas.
(3) A dog brought into or kept in all other park and open space areas shall be on a leash not more than 8 feet in length, or confined in a vehicle, and must be kept under control at all times.
(4) No dog may deposit solid waste matter on an park or open space property unless the dog’s owner immediately removes the solid waste.
(5) A dog’s owner is responsible for the dog’s behavior at all times while the dog is in the park or open space area.
(6) Authorized City employees may require a person in charge of an animal to undertake any measure, including the removal of the animal from the park or open space area, necessary to prevent interference by the animal with the safety, comfort, or well-being of park or open space area visitors or resources.
(7) No animal may be hitched to a tree or shrub in a manner that endangers the tree or shrub.
If a dog barks continuously for 15 minutes or more, you may contact Lane County Animal Services at 682-3647 or, if after business hours, the Eugene Police Department non-emergency number at 682-5111.
