Please check and let me know if dogs are allowed at that park. And if they are, why does the sign say the opposite?
Also, if possible, I'm very interested to know how these parks were chosen and if more parks can be added to that list.
ANSWER: The sign at Mililani is incorrect and will be corrected, said Patti Nagao, city parks spokeswoman. Mililani is one of 33 parks that allow dogs as long as they are on a leash. There is no move to amend that list.
Nagao said the idea behind the list is to give each area at least one park where people can exercise their animals as long as they are on a leash. However, the city has shied away from allowing such activities at parks that are highly used.
The parks where leashed dogs are allowed are:
