NEWS BRIEFS
Bicycles in City Parks
Wickliffe City Council has removed the park rule that banned bicycles from City parks. Bicycles are now allowed in Wickliffe parks, and riders are asked to be courteous to walkers and others enjoying the park on foot.

Dogs in City Parks
Council is reviewing an ordinance allowing dogs in City parks on walking trails and paths only, not on the grassy areas. Parks with walking paths include Jindra, Orlando and Intihar Parks. Dogs are not permitted in open grassy areas, in park pavilions or at the ball fields. Owners would be responsible for cleaning their dogs droppings in the park. To voice your concern on this issue, please attend a City Council meeting, held the second and fourth Mondays of the month at 7:00 PM at Wickliffe City Hall.
