Council extends off‑leash hours at Sandy Toes dog beach to 9 a.m.
Summary
Bullhead City extended off‑leash hours at Sandy Toes Beach at Rotary Park from 4:30–8:00 a.m. to 4:30–9:00 a.m., and authorized the city manager to make reasonable future adjustments; council discussed park enforcement and signage to address complaints about pet waste.
Bullhead City Council voted to extend off‑leash morning hours at Sandy Toes Beach (Rotary Park) from 4:30–8:00 a.m. to 4:30–9:00 a.m. and authorized the city manager to make further adjustments as community needs require.
Recreation Superintendent Dave Heath said the off‑leash area—created in September—has been well received and users asked for later morning hours. Council members raised concerns about dog owners not picking up waste and asked about enforcement; staff said park rangers will emphasize education, additional signage and trash cans, and that repeat abuse can result in loss of privileges.
Council discussed gate access and operational logistics; staff confirmed the area is not locked and that the change mainly governs the time during which dogs may be off leash. After brief discussion and no public speakers on the item, council approved the hour extension 7–0.
