Description
There are many loose dogs in the park, especially after work and on weekend mornings. The bike path passes though here, and kids have athletic practice after school; but still no one seems to enforce any leash laws here. Folks let their dogs run loose around the big field, at a much greater disctance from which they can grab the dogs when other people come along.

Thank you for contacting the 311 Service Center City Code states the following for animals either on a leash or under voice command:
2327.11 - Animals running at large.
(A) No owner of any animal shall permit such animal to run large on any property not his own.
(B) No owner of any animal shall permit the animal to enter upon any properties not that of his owner, when it is not securely leashed or under direct control. It shall be prima-facie evidence that a dog is not under direct control if it chases, injures or kills any person or domestic animal or damages or commits any nuisance upon property other than that of its owner.
(C) Whoever violates this section is guilty of permitting animals running at large, a minor misdemeanor. If the animal is a dog, a violation of this section is a misdemeanor of the third degree. If the animal causes physical harm to any person, or if the offender is, or has been, the owner of a dog which was declared a dangerous or vicious animal, a violation of this section is a misdemeanor of the first degree.
(D)This section does not apply to homing pigeons bearing official bands.
(E) Strict liability is intended to be imposed for a violation of this section.
