PETS:

If you plan on bringing your pet, be sure to put them on a leash and pick up after them. Court Square is not that far of a walk and there are plenty of grassy areas for your pet to do its business. Do not allow your pet to use the bathroom in Civic Center Plaza, which is almost entirely concrete.
