Park Rules

The most important rule is to remember this is a rec league, the kids are playing baseball/softball for fun and to improve their skills. Please support all the kids in our community regardless of team. Enjoy watching them grow and having fun with their friends.

Pedestrians have the right of way.

The following are prohibited on the Little League grounds:

• No animals except service animals with appropriate vests.

A service animal is any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals, trained or untrained, are not service animals. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the disability.

Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability.

Dogs and other animals whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. Therapy and emotional support animals are not allowed in the concession stand.

1. Service dogs are permitted at all of the ballfields. Service dogs are not allowed in areas that for health or safety reasons exclude the presence of animals. Examples of this type of environment would include food storage and preparation such as the concession stand.
2. Under the ADA, service dogs must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service dog’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the dog through voice, signal, or other effective controls.
3. The individual with a disability will be asked to remove the dog from the ballfield area if: (a) The dog is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it; (b)not on a leash
4. The Board Member on Duty may ask an individual with a disability:
5. If the dog is required because of a disability, and
6. What work or task the dog has been trained to perform?
7. A Board Member may not require documentation of disability nor proof that the dog has been certified, trained, or licensed as a service animal.
8. Allergies and fear of dogs are not valid reasons for denying access or refusing service to people using service animals. When a person who is allergic to dog dander we do ask the handler to try and be respectful to all parties and maybe move to the other side of the bleachers. We also understand that this may not be possible and hope the issue can be resolved respectfully.
9. People with disabilities who use service dogs will not be isolated from other people, treated less favorably than other people, or charged fees that are not charged to other people without animals.
10. In addition to the provisions about service dogs, the revised ADA regulations have a new, separate provision about miniature horses that have been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. The Little League is not able to accommodate miniature horses used as service animals.
