7
8 Agenda Item No. 7B. Discussion: Potential revision to Southlake City Code to allow
9 doss `off leash" to swim in Bob Jones Park pond The Board discussed the possibility
10 of revising the City Code to allow dogs to swim unrestrained in ponds on City property,
11 specifically at Bob Jones Park pond. The request proposed that the pond at Bob Jones
12 Park be made available for dogs to swim in during a specific window of time on a
13 specific day of the week. Currently dogs are required to be on leashes at all times in
14 public parks per Southlake City Code, Chapter V, Section 4 -56. The exception is when
15 visiting the Community Dog Park. The Southlake City Code, Chapter 12, Section 12 -32
16 does not permit water activities such as swimming or wading in any area unless it is
17 designated for that purpose or authorized by the Director of Community Services for a
18 temporary occurrence. Currently, the Bob Jones Park pond is not designated to allow
19 swimming, wading, boating or canoeing. The consensus of the Parks Board was not to
20 make any revisions to the Southlake City Code that would allow dogs to swim
21 unrestrained at the Bob Jones Park pond at this time.
