The primary purpose of the Bourbon City Bark Park rules is to protect our members and their dogs. The second is to provide an enjoyable experience for both humans and pets alike while in the Bourbon City Bark Park. The safety of our members and pets is our first priority.
So that we may provide, within our ability, safety and peace of mind we need your assistance. All members of the Bourbon City Bark Park must depend on one another to follow the rules and report incident infractions they have witnessed. The Bourbon City Bark Park has no paid employees who will be present at the park to monitor members and their pets. We are all volunteers who must act in the best interest of all members of the dog park. All members must follow the rules and report incidents they have witnessed of any members and/or dogs who chose not to follow park rules.
In the event of an incident, please complete the Incident Report Form and provide all relevant information with as much detail as possible so that we may investigate appropriately. Please do not forget to provide your e-mail address and/or phone number so that we may contact you to follow up if necessary. Please either turn your Incident Report Form in to Save A Lot or email us at bourboncitybarkpark@gmail.com
