Dogs on leashes are generally welcome in the outdoor areas of the Aquatic Park Historic Landmark District.

However, dogs are not allowed on the beach, inside the Visitor Center, on the historic ships, or inside other park buildings.

Service animals are legally permitted anywhere that visitors can go.

Attention Bark Rangers!

Learn the rules of B.A.R.K. to help protect your park!

Bag your poop! Keep our park a clean and healthy place to visit. Please dispose of your pet's waste in trash cans available throughout the park.

Always wear a leash! Pets must be restrained on a leash no longer than 6 feet (2 meters). Leashes protect dogs from becoming lost and protect the experience of other visitors who may be afraid, allergic, or who do not want a dog approaching them.

Respect wildlife! Please keep your dog at a respectful distance from any animals you may encounter. Dogs can chase and threaten wildlife, scaring birds and other animals away from nesting, feeding, and resting sites.

Know where you can go! Pets are generally welcome on park grounds but are not allowed on Aquatic Park Beach or in any park buildings. Pets should not be left unattended. Do not leave pets alone in a car or tied up in the park.
