Rocklin Dog Leash Policy

Post

On top is a picture of three cute dogs on a leash in front of a green background. On the lower right is a circle shape with one white dog holding a leash in their mouth. Text on white on the left reads: "LEASH YOUR DOG IN ALL PUBLIC AREAS. Stay safe, be considerate, and protect wildlife. Off-leash fun is only allowed at the RUFF Dog park at Johnson-Springview Park (5480 5th St)."

Leashing dogs reduces the risk for incidents with other dogs and humans, and ensures our Rocklin parks are a safe and enjoyable place for all!

With the increase of community reports of off- leash dogs at Rocklin parks, the City of Rocklin reminds the public to leash dogs at all times when visiting city parks, with the exception of the RRUFF dog park at Johnson-Springview Park.

Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC 6.04.050) prohibits off-leash dogs in City parks outside of designated off-leash areas. Violators are subject to citation and a fine.

To ensure the safety of all park visitors, the City of Rocklin will begin issuing citations to dog owners with dogs off-leash.

Why It’s Important

  • Safety First: Prevents accidents and keeps everyone safe.
  • Be Considerate: Not everyone loves dogs, so let’s keep our furry friends close.
  • Protect Wildlife: Helps keep our local wildlife safe and our parks beautiful.

Leash Up!

  • All dogs must be on a leash (max 6 feet) in public areas like parks, sidewalks, etc.
  • Off-leash fun is only allowed at the RRUFF Dog park at Johnson-Springview Park (5480 5th St, Rocklin, CA).

How You Can Help

  • Always leash your dog in public.
  • Carry waste bags and clean up after your pet.
  • Ensure your dog’s collar has current ID tags.
  • Use a sturdy leash that’s securely fastened.
