4. We are always in need of clean plastic bags, such as those your newspaper comes in, for use in picking up dog poop. Please put them loosely in the two green mailboxes at either end of the park. You can also place them all in an outer bag and hang it on the shed door handle.
5. Please help keep the park clean by making sure everyone picks up after their dogs and has them in sight at all times.
