A New Registration Year!

It’s been a terrific first year at Canandaigua Canine Campus! Approximately 260 dog owners are currently registered with one, two or three dogs. Dog park registration for 2020 begins on Monday, December 2, 2019.

To register your dog(s), you must visit the City Recreation Office at City Hall, 2 North Main Street, First Floor Atrium, Canandaigua, Monday – Friday, 9AM-4PM. Links for downloads to read and fill out prior to your arrival include Dog Park Permit/Acknowledgement of Risk, Release of Liability and Terms of Agreement, Dog Park Rules, Membership: Code of Behavior and the handout “Successfully Navigating an Off-Leash Dog Park” and can be accessed online: https://www.canandaiguanewyork.gov/index.asp?SEC=1F94E25D-DDDC-470E-8D6B-104C68B125A9&Type=B_BASIC

When registering, bring the filled out Park Permit/Risk Agreement, your photo ID, current dog license and rabies documentation (either a certificate or your vet’s health record). The city accepts cash or a check payable to the City of Canandaigua.

Membership fees are annual, not pro-rated, and run in the calendar year from January 1st-December 31st. Prices for residents, non-residents plus senior and military discounts are noted on the Park Permit. Fees underwrite operating costs including key cards and collar tags. New cards and tags are issued each year upon registration. Key cards from the previous year are de-activated and collar tag color changes annually.

Once you register, you will receive a key card to enter the park, collar tag, a copy of your signed Park Permit/Risk Agreement. Your dog(s) must wear the collar tag at the park as it is a visual cue to other users that your dog is registered.

Please be aware that owners who break park rules can have their membership revoked (see Membership: Code of Behavior).

Have fun with your pup!
