Owner tips

  • Pet waste may contain harmful bacteria, including Giardia, E. Coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter.
  • Dog waste left on the ground eventually finds its way into our creeks and streams and possibly into groundwater (a potential drinking water
  • source in Gresham).
  • Always picking up your pet’s waste at the park and in open spaces then dispose in the trash or toilet.
  • Avoiding children’s play areas at the park with your pet.

Dog boxes with bags are stocked in some Gresham parks.Doggie Doo? Doggie Don’t! Program

  • These boxes in Gresham parks hold plastic bags for pet waste scooping.
  • “Forgetting to bring a bag” is the number one reason why pet owners do not scoop.
  • “Doggie Doo, Doggie Don’t” boxes are stocked by park users.
  • Bring extra bags and leave them for others.
