Old Business: New Business: Two Resolutions for the new changes to Craig Park 1 August 10, 2020 1) Resolution to allow the use of Craig Park Lands of removed Tennis courts and small parcel, to operate a Dog Park in accordance with the attached Rules and Guidelines. Established under Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning & Finger Lakes 501c3. Not to bourdon the tax payers of cost of operations. DETALIED DOG PARK RULES These rules are very common nationwide, 1. Dogs must be current with all vaccinations 2. Must have current license 3. Must have on leash entering and exiting, (Park is located on a common Access walking path safety to residents walking is priority) 4. No Puppies under 4 months 5. NO children 12 yrs and under, reasons are many dogs that visit here DO NOT like kids. When a dog owner pulls up to visit and sees a kid they leave. also, for safety of children. IT’S A DOG PARK NOT a playground (many dog parks actually require no one under 16, some no one under 18yr) 6. Aggressive dogs are not permitted 7. Owners MUST be in the park within view of their dog 8. NO dog food or people food 9. Must pickup and dispose of in bin outside of gated area (This is convenient for DPW to pick up on their weekly trash pickups) 10. NO choke collars, reason being when dogs get playing and their collars could become entangled causing vicious fighting 11. ALL pets must be fixed, reason, they become aggrieve and also create a hostile environment 12. NO roller blades or boards of any type. (I actually saw this really!!) 13. Absolutely NO strollers, (when dogs go into their puppy runs, they can hit the stroller and become injured) IT’S A DOG PARK 14. NO EXCESSIVE BARKING, (This gets other dogs going, also not good for the neighborhood) 15. Wheel chairs are permitted, the fiber on Large side is designed for wheel chairs, small side is compacted for wheel chairs. Both sides Large and Small are (Handicap assessable) 16. Entering Dog Park is a NO PEE Zone, (Residents Shouldn’t have to smell urine while walking by) 17. No more than three dogs per handler OTHER SPECIAL NOTES When entering QUICKLY move away from entrance area. Stay away from the entrance area, walk around!! That will help disperse the group at entrance. Keep your dog away from entrance when other dogs entering. Most fights happen getting overwhelmed entering gates. 2 August 10, 2020 Don’t leave dog on leash once inside. Leash dogs tend to be defensive, other dogs get confused PAY ATTENTION know where your dog is and what your dog is up to. TEXING is not paying attention. Leads to unsafe conditions, attacks, annoying to people, missed poops Do not brush or otherwise groom pets inside park Each handler is LEGALLY responsible for his or her dog. The COMMUNITY will assume no responsibility of any injuries to humans or animals. ALL handlers MUST remain in the park at all times. To maintain a safe and fun environment for all breeds, temperaments, and sizes, most parks have a basic set of rules. “Dog Park Etiquette” is advisable to follow. Be sure to check out the rules typically posted at every Dog Park entrance in the country. FINAL NOTE Craig Park Dog Park is an additional amenity to the Village of Painted Post reutilizing abandon tennis courts and small parcel of unused land, designed and built by a Village Trustee, incorporation with the Village Board. The Village DOES NOT FUND any portion of the Dog Park. It runs on donations ONLY. If people miss use or do not comply with RULES, you will be told to leave. No niceties, your disrespecting all that has been accomplished. We lose control of the park will result in closing. The Dog Park is 100% complete, no additions or alterations will be needed. Extra amenity’s such as water system, Electrical and trash pickup can be removed at any time when abuse has been noted. Only assistance from the Village DPW will be grass cutting as applicable, trimming will be done by Dog Park staff. For social network you can visit Craig Park Dog Park on Facebook, there is a playmate site also, Painted Post has web site as well villageofpaintedpost.com (Under Parks see WEBCAM) Cam shows the entire Park 2) Resolution to allow Craig Park lands to be redeveloped also per State Guide Lines of pool area for recreational facilities such as two Pickle ball courts, Volleyball court, two corn hole courts, two horseshoe pits and a bocce ball court.
