League or team receipt of a ball field permit does not ensure issuance of a permit the following year.
(28) 
When activities are not scheduled, playing fields can be used on a first-come, first-serve basis except for organized sports organizations, whether nonprofit or otherwise.
(29) 
If permit holder (team, league, etc.) is not present at field, any Village residents will be eligible to use that field under an "open field policy." Should permit holders arrive during slotted time period, they still would have field rights for the remaining time as specified on permit. Sports fields are open April 1 through October 31 of each year and will be closed for winterization from November 1 through March 31 of each year.

To be eligible to use the ball fields, the specific schedule request for a specific field, including dates and times, must be forwarded to the Park administration/fields committee in writing, no later than the time set forth by the committee.
(37) 
All requests for use of the fields must be done in good faith, and all participants must act in good faith with regard for use, including the verification of residency which supports their use or activity.
(38) 
After the deadline for permit requests, the Committee and Parks Administrator shall review the requests received in a timely manner. The Park Director (or fields committee), in their sole discretion, shall make a determination that the use of the fields shall be given to those participants that have the greatest number of East Hills residents actually participating in that activity. Requests will be ranked according to this priority and set schedules accordingly. It is the intention of the committee, and these rules, that the fields be made available to the most Village of East Hills residents as possible.
(39) 
Once the schedules have been made, any times and dates still open will be made available first to those groups or activities that made a timely written request, but were omitted. If these groups do not timely commit to using the vacant days and times, then the unused slots will be made available on a first-come, first-used basis.

C. 
Bark Park (dog park).
(1) 
Dog behavior:
(a) 
Not all dogs are good candidates for dog-park play. A dog park is not the appropriate place for dogs who have serious behavior problems in relation to other dogs or humans. Dogs with these kinds of "issues" should be carefully socialized in environments that are far more controlled than a dog park while their owners do behavior modification work. Consider the following carefully before taking your dog through the gate into your local dog park.
(b) 
Dog-park dogs should be friendly and outgoing, without being overbearing, obnoxious, or bullying.
(c) 
Your dog should be reasonably confident and social. Those who are fearful, aggressive, or reactive are not appropriate for dog parks.
(d) 
Basic good manners are a park prerequisite. Your dog should not body-slam, mouth, jump on kids, or mark (leg-lift) humans in the park, nor should he jump into laps of random sitting humans without invitation.
(e) 
Your dog should be responsive to basic cues: at least "come" when called, "sit," and "leave it/off," so you can get control of him if necessary, and prevent him from harassing others.
(f) 
Barking should be kept to a reasonable level, both for the comfort of other Park users as well as nearby neighbors. Occasional barks of joy are acceptable. Nonstop barking of a "fun police" type dog is not, nor is barking with more serious aggressive intent.
(g) 
Only healthy dogs should visit dog parks. Obviously, communicable diseases and parasites are unacceptable as these can affect and infect other dogs. Structural unsoundness that can cause pain (hip dysphasia, arthritis, etc.) are a high risk factor for causing aggression when a dog is hurt, stressed, or in danger.
(2) 
Human behavior:
(a) 
Children under 15 years of age must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
(b) 
We humans are responsible for our dogs' behaviors; hence, we play a critically important role in making sure proper etiquette is adhered to, by our dogs as well as ourselves.
(c) 
As a new Park user, visit the Park without your dog to observe Park culture and practices. Arrange to take your dog to the Park the first time at nonpeak use hours to allow both of you to acquaint yourselves with the environment without the stress and distraction of multiple dogs.
(d) 
Obey all posted Park rules, even if you disagree with them.
(e) 
Don't bring small children inside the dog park. Occasionally, dogs who are running fast in a chasing game will accidentally run into a grown-up, sometimes even knocking down a full-sized man. Imagine what could happen to your toddler, and that's just from an accident, not even from the attention of a large dog with a strong prey drive who has never been socialized to small children!
(f) 
Limit your use of toys or food treats as necessary to avoid dog/dog conflict. This may vary depending on the dog population at the Park during any given visit.
(g) 
Keep puppies under the age of four months at home. They aren't fully immunized yet, so are at higher risk for contracting diseases, and are very vulnerable to being traumatized by another dog's inappropriate behavior.
(h) 
Be harshly realistic about your dog's potential as a park playmate. The dog park is not the appropriate place to work on fixing your dog's behavior problems.
(i) 
Watch Park play for several minutes before you take your dog in to be sure there are no dogs present who are inappropriate play partners for your dog.
(j) 
Remove your dog's leash as soon as you enter the off-leash area. Mixing on-leash and off-leash dogs can cause stress in the leashed dogs, which may lead to aggression.
(k) 
Supervise your dog's play. Don't get on the cell phone for more than a very brief two- or three- minute call.
(l) 
This is not the time to bury your nose in the latest copy of WDJ or your favorite novel. Be prepared to interrupt inappropriate play whether your dog is the perpetrator or the victim.
(m) 
If someone complains about your dog's behavior, be prepared to consider his perspective before defending your dog or just blowing off the complaint. Apologize if your dog has been inappropriate, and be willing to leave the Park if your dog is being too rough. If you really disagree with the person's assessment of your dog's behavior, ask someone you respect for her honest and frank opinion.
(n) 
Be polite, even if someone else's dog is inappropriate and the owner isn't controlling her dog or is unwilling to take her own dog out of the Park.
(o) 
Keep the dog-human ratio manageable. A standard recommendation is no more than two or three dogs per human assuming those two to three dogs can be reasonably managed by one human!
(p) 
Remember: not all dogs enjoy playing with others. Be willing to leave if your dog isn't having a good time. Some dogs enjoy a small circle of intimate friends but aren't keen on crowds. Some enjoy Park play as youngsters, but less so as they mature. If you love going to the Park but your dog doesn't, go without him! Go with a friend who has a more gregarious canine, or go dogless and socialize with other owners.
(q) 
Avoid disciplining another Park user's dog. If you must use force to break up a fight, so be it, but do not attempt to "punish" someone else's dog once the conflict is ended. If you find another dog's behavior unacceptable, take your own dog out of the Park rather than "correcting" someone else's dog.
(r) 
Honor the posted dog-park hours. They are set for a reason often for your own safety, or to maintain peace and harmony with nearby neighbors.
(s) 
Of course, as always, clean up after your dog religiously both inside and outside the Park. Be willing to clean up unclaimed piles of dog poo from visitors who don't know or don't follow the rules of dog-park etiquette, or perhaps who just didn't notice their dog leaving a fecal souvenir.
