These blooms don't happen by accident. 🌼

These photos showcase just a few of the many volunteer-maintained garden beds throughout our parks.

A big thank you to the volunteers who donate their time and talent to help keep our parks beautiful. Your efforts make Burlington a brighter place for everyone to enjoy.

We love dogs at the parks, but please help us keep them clean and enjoyable by picking up after your pet.

💩🐾 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM DOWNTOWN BURLINGTON 🐾💩

We need to have a little talk.
To the dog owners who think their furry friend is secretly invisible when nature calls...

👀 We see you.
📹 The cameras see you.
🐕 Your dog definitely sees you.

And while your pup may be proud of their accomplishment, the rest of Downtown Burlington should not have to dodge it on the way to coffee, shopping, dinner, or work

A friendly reminder that Burlington City Code § 65.23 requires pet owners to immediately pick up and properly dispose of pet waste, including the little ‘I’ll get it next time’ surprise left behind.

Downtown makes it easy to do the right thing:
🟢 Waste stations are located throughout Downtown.
🗑️ Garbage cans are on every block.
🏙️ And yes... you have to clean it up in the alley, too.

Consider this your friendly nudge. 👀 We see you.

Before your dog's masterpiece turns into a citation and a fine, please do your part:
✅ Walk your dog
✅ Enjoy Downtown
✅ Pick up the p**p
✅ Use a waste station or garbage can
✅ Pretend this post wasn't about you

Let's keep Downtown Burlington clean, welcoming, and p**p-free for everyone.

It's Happening... and we'd really prefer it wasn't happening on our sidewalks, in our flower beds, or in our alleys. 💙🐾

Check it out - this Sunday!!
