Rotary Dog Park (Member Only)

History of Rotary Dog Park (Member Only)

Rotary Dog Park was established by the Belleville Rotary Club as a community initiative to provide a dedicated recreational space for dogs and their owners in southwestern Illinois.

Developed as a member-exclusive facility, the park reflects the Rotary organization's commitment to enhancing quality of life within the local community. The two-acre grounds were designed to offer a secure, fenced environment where members' dogs could exercise and socialize safely.

The inclusion of dedicated parking facilities demonstrates thoughtful planning to accommodate member access and convenience. Since its establishment, the park has maintained its status as a membership-based venue, ensuring a controlled and well-managed recreational environment for participating dog owners in the Belleville area.

Dog Park Rules in Rotary Dog Park (Member Only)

As a member of Rotary Dog Park, it's important to familiarize yourself with the guidelines that ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all dogs and their owners. These rules help maintain a relaxed environment for everyone while their dogs play.

Please adhere to the following essential requirements:

In addition to these requirements, you're responsible for filling any holes your dog digs and limiting yourself to two or three dogs maximum. Proof of your dog's current rabies vaccination must be provided during membership renewal to ensure all pets at the park are protected against disease.

Gates must remain closed except during entry and exit. The consumption of food, treats, alcohol, or smoking is prohibited within the park boundaries.

Please be aware that you're liable for any injuries or damage caused by your dog. By following these guidelines, you help protect your membership and foster a welcoming community for all members.
