Waipahu dogs must be on restraint no longer than eight feet on public streets, schools, and parks under ROH Chapter 7, Article 4, including Waipahu District Park and Hans L'Orange Park.
ROH Chapter 7, Article 4 requires Waipahu dogs to be under owner control by leash, cord, chain, or similar physical restraint no longer than eight feet whenever on public streets, public or private school grounds, or other public places. The rule applies throughout Waipahu Depot Street, the Waipahu Cultural Garden Park, Hans L'Orange Park, and neighborhood paths in Village Park and Royal Kunia. Public park leashing is additionally addressed by ROH 10-1.7. Dogs declared dangerous under Article 7 must use a maximum six-foot leash held by an adult handler, with muzzling conditions per ROH 7-7.2. Waipahu's density makes off-leash complaints frequent.
Off-leash violations are petty misdemeanors with fines, potential impoundment at the Hawaiian Humane Society, and escalating penalties for repeat offenders or injury incidents.
