Parleys is being invaded by noxious weeds that crowd out natural vegetation and are often harmful. Early in the spring, when the plants are young, they pull more easily. Two of the plants that have invaded Parleys are Myrtle Spurge and Canadian Thistle:

You don’t have to join a cleanup day to help--just take a hand shovel or weed digger when you walk the park. Be sure to cary the dead plant out with you, and throw it in the garbage; leaving it on the road will just allow it to go to seed.

If everyone pulls a handful of this every time they walk, we’ll make short work of these noxious weeds. Take a glove, the thistle have thorns, even when they are small, and the weeds can leave a rash.

We hope to help dog owners locate areas where they can legally enjoy life in the outdoors with the four-legged members of their family, and hope to help the public understand and participate in the politics affecting these areas that we all love to visit with our dogs. We offer assistance to those who wish to suggest locations for future off-leash areas, and we ask that the public keep us informed of new issues regarding off-leash areas, and coordinate volunteer efforts to maintain the safety and cleanliness of areas that have already been set aside for us.
