No Dogs Allowed?

    So one of my local parks recently had an upgrade. They've put in a tarmac path around the outskirts and with this new 'upgrade' they've put up signs saying "No Dogs Allowed". So not just on leash but actually not allowed within the park.
    It's only a tiny park, about 300-400m perimeter but was handy to go for a quick stroll.
    What's my rights here before I go questioning this with the local council?

    You have the right to bring your dog to a park that allows dogs.

    No way, why didn't I think of that? Thanks for the super helpful comment.

    That doesnt mean anything goes. The council has decided to keep it dog free for whatever reason and as a dog owner I'd respect that. There are plenty of other places dogs can be walked.

    If that's the case then fair enough but that's all I wanted to know.
    I would have thought there would have to be some by laws passed to enact. I remember there being so much noise about DLRCC having to do that to stop dogs from being allowed on certain beaches.
