LOIS PARK

Important Information

Kinship Lois Park ("Lois Park") is committed to providing programs and activities in a safe manner. We hold the safety of Lois Park members, their guest(s) and dog(s) in high regard. Lois Park continually strives to reduce risk and insists that all members and their guest(s) follow the Kinship Lois Park Rules and instructions that are designed to protect them. Acceptance of this Waiver and Release and adherence to the Kinship Lois Park Rules are conditions precedent of membership. Memberships are non-transferrable and may be revoked for non-compliance. Persons who choose to become members of Lois Park must understand there are inherent risks of injury and damage associated with off-leash dog parks.

You are solely responsible for supervising your dog(s) and determining if your dog(s) is appropriate for an off-leash experience that may include many other dogs and people. We do not allow dogs with dangerous propensities, for example, biting or aggressive dogs, whether they are aggressive to people or other dogs. Lois Park reserves the right to determine if a dog is aggressive.

This Waiver and Release refers to "your dog", "my dog" or "the owner of the dog" and these terms include you whether or not you are not the legal owner of the dog. You are the person responsible for the dog while using this Park.

Warning of Risk

Kinship Lois Park is intended to be used as an outlet for dogs and their owners to get exercise, develop a strong bond, and have a place for members to work with their dog(s) on basic training and obedience if they choose. Despite all warnings, rules and precautions, certain dangers still exist. It is virtually impossible to predict all possible situations that could occur in an off-leash dog park. Risks include: the propensity of any dog to behave in dangerous ways that may result in injury to you, another person, your dog or another dog. Other risks include, but are not limited to, the inexperience, negligence or irresponsibility of a dog owner/handler; the inability to predict a dog's reaction to movement, sounds, objects, persons, or other animals; and actions by the dog due to fright, anger, stress, insect bites or natural reactions such as jumping, pulling, resisting and biting. Other risks include: the hazards associated with environmental and traffic conditions, acts of God, inclement weather, slips and falls, premises' defects, equipment failure, failure in supervision, and all other circumstances inherent to dog and/or outdoor activities. Children are especially prone to injuries or death from such things as bites or attacks since they sometimes demonstrate behaviors that may seems threatening or prey-like to dogs. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for Lois Park to guarantee the safety of members, their guest(s) and dog(s). Each person who uses the Park does so at his or her own risk and assumes the danger of using the Park.
