Dog Code

Please follow these simple rules.

Fouling

• Always pick up after your dog. It is everyone’s responsibility to keep the environment clean and tidy for all park users
• Collect poo in a bag and dispose of in any litter bin in the park or take it home.
• You can be FINED up to £1000 if you fail to clean up after your dog

Control & Respect

• Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times whilst in the Garden of Remembrance and the East Court Terraced Gardens
• Never let your dog damage trees shrubs, flower beds or other park features. Council maintenance teams and Volunteers spend a lot of time and money making East Court a beautiful place to be
• Dogs are not permitted in the children’s play area

Courtesy

• Respect other park users
• Be aware of what your dog is doing all of the time
• Ensure your dog is under close control when approaching the drive and car parks
• Please don’t let a dog chase or disturb any wildlife
• The number of dogs one person can take onto council owned parks is restricted to six

Other ways we can be responsible owners

• Dog walkers, as regular park users, help look after our open spaces by reporting any problems or damage in the park, collecting litter and help improve safety.
• Report a found or a lost dog
• If you find a dog bin which has not been emptied then please note the number painted on it before contacting Mid Sussex District Council using the online report a missing dog bin form.
