Animals Are Not Allowed At These Westport Beaches As Of April 1

WESTPORT, CT — Parks and Recreation Director Jennifer Fava reminds residents that, as of April 1, no animals are allowed at Compo, Old Mill or Burying Hill beaches, in or out of vehicles.

According to a news release provided by the town, this regulation is in effect until Oct. 1. Parking emblems will be required on all vehicles entering town beaches beginning May 1.

For the safety of athletic field users, Fava asked that all guests keep animals off of ball fields year-round in order to keep the fields in good playing condition.

"Although we have regulations in place for animals at the beach from April 1 to Sept. 30, dogs are welcome at Winslow Park year round," Fava said in a news release.

Winslow Park, located at Compo Road North and Post Road East, has posted on-leash and off-leash areas.
