I hereby apply to use the Monroe County Dog Park (s) with my dog (s). Being physically present inside the Dog Park (s) with my dog (s), whether leashed or unleashed, necessarily involves risks of injury to me and my dog (s) from other dogs.

We are happy to announce that the latest natural playground in the Monroe County Parks system is open! The playground is free and open to the public and features a number of fallen logs, tunnels, towers, swings and even a log cabin fort for kids to enjoy.
