A new fenced-in dog park has been opened at Oyster Shell Park, Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling announced.

He says the park was built in response to community feedback. The fencing, entrance gates and maintenance gates were funded by the American Rescue Plan Act.

Officials say dogs are allowed off-leash in the dog park as long as the dog is under command. Dogs are not allowed on the playground at Oyster Shell Park and must be on a leash in all other parts of the park.

Under Connecticut law, all dog owners or keepers are liable for any damage or injury their dog may cause. If the dog owner or keeper is under the age of 18, the parent or guardian of that individual is liable.
