Division of Arkansas State Parks One Capitol Mall, Suite 4A-900 • Little Rock, AR 72201 • 501.682.1191 ArkansasStateParks.com Asa Hutchinson Governor Stacy Hurst Secretary M E M O R A N D U M TO: Park Superintendents & Park Regional Supervisors CC: Park Section Managers, Shea Lewis, Yolanda Brown, & Sharon Allen FROM: Jeff King, Deputy Director DATE: December 21, 2022 SUBJECT: Park Directive (PD) 1191 Update – Smoking, Tobacco, and Electronic Cigarette Policy Attached is the approved revision to PD 1191. This PD has been processed and approved by the State Parks, Recreation, and Travel Commission and promulgated as a final rule for our Division pursuant to the Arkansas Administrative Act. The revised PD replaces the previous rule version from 2016. Per PD 1000, please print and update within your Park Operations Manual (also save the attached pdf. copy to your files). The attached revision will further restrict tobacco use in our state parks at open and screened picnic pavilions, open and screened porches of lodging facilities, within the boundaries of all park beaches, and on the Crater of Diamonds minefield. In the event state park pools were not previously restricted as a “structure”, they shall now be included as restricted locations per this policy update. All other previously restricted locations remain unchanged. Park Superintendents are instructed to establish designated employee and guest legal product use areas outside of buildings and away from building entrances and primary public use areas, when and where the need for such designated locations is appropriate to serve employees or guests. These areas should be serviced with a smoking receptacle appropriate to the use area. Signage for newly restricted locations should be processed for order through the operations chain-of-command. Standard wording for installed signage will be established. This policy does not detail restricted tobacco use for employees in state vehicles, as that restriction is detailed on pg. 39 of the current ADPHT Employee Handbook. END In an effort to accommodate dog owners, Arkansas State Parks now offers designated cabins and lodge rooms for guests who travel with their dogs. This policy has been established to protect you and to insure all guests enjoy their stay at state park overnight lodging rental units. Rules for guests with dogs staying in pet friendly overnight lodging rental units are as follows:  There is a fee per dog for the duration of your stay (limit two dogs).  The fee will be added to the reservation.  Dogs must always be attended, anytime, anywhere (cabin, vehicle, etc.) The exception will be when a dog is crated inside an overnight lodging rental unit.  Dog owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets in and outside the overnight lodging rental unit area.  Dog owners whose dogs create a disturbance and annoy other guests may be asked to leave the park with no refund of remaining lodging rental unit fees.  Dog owners must provide proof of current vaccination records for each dog.  Dogs must be free of ticks, fleas, and mange.  Female dogs must not be in season (in heat).  Dogs may not be tied to trees, fences, or anchored to the ground.  Dogs may not be taken into other park facilities that are not designated pet friendly.  Dogs must be house trained.  Dogs must be on a leash at all times when outside the rental unit.  Park management reserves the right to prohibit any dog on the premises that may pose a risk to guests or staff or has a history of causing trouble.  Additional fees shall be incurred when extra cleaning is required or if any damage to the overnight lodging rental unit or fixtures is discovered. Fee assessments will be based on materials and labor required to make necessary repairs. As a dog owner, I have read this agreement and will adhere to the terms and conditions herein. I agree to pay any extra charges relating to damage caused by my pet(s). If I have used a credit card to pay the cost of the room or cabin, I authorize you to have the additional charges for damage added to my charge bill. I also agree to indemnify the State of Arkansas, Department of Parks and Tourism, and hold the State (AR/ADPT) and its employees harmless for any damage the pets cause to third parties or the property of third parties. I also understand that the State has no responsibility for the safety or care of my pet(s) and release the State from all liability related to their care and safety. _________________________________ _________________ _____________________ Signature Date Cabin/Lodge Room _(______)_________________________ Mobile Contact Number 0900 FAC 208 04/17 ARKANSAS STATE PARKS DOG POLICY LIABILITY AGREEMENT CABIN NUMBER _______________ LODGE ROOM NUMBER ________________ NUMBER OF DAYS RENTED ________________________________________________ EXCESSIVE CLEAN-UP REQUIRED Y YES NO COMMENTS: ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ODOR APPARENT YES NO COMMENTS: ___________________________________________________ FLEAS NOTICEABLE YES NO COMMENTS: ___________________________________________________ NOTICEABLE DAMAGE YES NO ACTUAL DAMAGE ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ REPAIR ESTIMATE ___________________________________________________ OVERALL CONDITION FOLLOWING RENTAL: EXCELLENT GOOD FAIR POOR __________________________________________________ ________________ 0900 FAC 209 08/15 ARKANSAS STATE PARKS HOUSEKEEPING CHECK LIST for DOG FRIENDLY OVERNIGHT LODGING RENTAL UNITS
