Where, Oh Where Can My Little Dog Go? Here’s the scoop! Dogs and their owners are welcome in many of our parks - as long as the pets are on a leash at all times and owners clean up after their animals. However, make no bones about it! We can’t sidestep the issue of pet waste. Out of courtesy to others using the parks, pet owners must take responsibility and help to keep our parks clean. Please bring a scooper and/or bag with you when you enjoy the parks with your four-legged friends. Appreciation and thanks are extended to responsible pet owners who, along with their pets, respect other park users and the park system. Bike Trails Urbandale has an extensive bike trail system. A map of the bike trails is located at the end of this guide. Additional maps are available at the Parks and Recreation office. If you are sponsoring an activity that includes the use of the bike trails, there are guidelines that need to be followed. Please call the Parks and Recreation office at 515-278-3963 for more information.

INFORMATION Please don’t feed the Waterfowl! While it may be tempting to feed the ducks and geese at City Parks, doing so is actually quite harmful. Human food causes malnutrition in waterfowl. Their delayed migration as a result, increases disease, erodes the landscape, and pollutes the water. Please help us preserve the balance of nature, the beauty of the parks and quality of life for neighbors - do not feed the ducks and geese! Thank you for your cooperation. For more information, contact Urbandale Parks & Recreation at 515-278-3963. Urbandale Community Theatre http://www.urbandaletheatre.com. All ages and talent levels are encouraged to be involved.
