Summer Safety at Grandview

SUMMER SAFETY AT GRANDVIEW

PLEASE READ THE BELOW AND SHARE!

1)  FIREWORKS!
Fireworks are prohibited at Grandview Dog Park (and in the City of Seatac).
Please call 911 if you witness anyone lighting off fireworks in the park.
If you are in the park on July 5th and notice trash from illegal activities in the park, please help by cleaning up!

2)  FIRE DANGER!
With the weather turning warmer and low rain, the Dog Park is getting dried out.
Smoking is a fire risk and is prohibited in all SeaTac parks. Please call 911 if you see any fires at Grandview.  Please “wet down” any smoldering areas with water (plastic poop bags filled with water work great). YOU can help prevent Dog Park fires!

3)  FOXTAIL!
Foxtail can cause harm to dogs.  If you see it, pull it and dispose of in trash.  DO NOT throw it on ground as it will spread seeds (see previous post for details and pictures of Foxtail).  Be sure to carefully check your dog after each visit to the Dog Park and remove any Foxtails that may have gathered in his/her furry coat, ears, eyes, or paws.  Remember that these seeds can work their way down to and even penetrate, your dog’s skin potentially causing health risks. A “Foxtail check” after your Dog Park visit is highly recommended!
