Ruff House Dog Park Mission Statement

To create a fenced-in, off-leash dog park where well behaved canine citizens can exercise in a clean, safe environment without endangering people, property, other dogs or wildlife.

To develop a beautiful and well-maintained space open to dog lovers and friends who are willing to uphold the park's rules and regulations.

To view the park as a community project in partnership with Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation designed to satisfy the needs of dog owners and non-dog owners alike.

To promote education, training and recreational activities that facilitate responsible dog ownership for improvement in socialization of dogs through the use of volunteers and professional dog trainers.

To maintain a positive presence in the community, encourage community/member involvement, and recreation through the Dog Park.

To maintain a respectful, enlightened co-existence with other park users through properly supervising and maintaining appropriate conduct of dogs off-leash.
