The Borough reserves the exclusive right to exclude from the park any dog who attacks, jumps up or on, or otherwise threatens another person or child.
(c) 
Disclaimer of liability. Neither the creation of dog-friendly recreational facilities nor the compliance with the provisions hereof or with any other condition imposed by the Borough hereunder shall relieve any person from responsibility for damage to persons or property resulting therefrom or as otherwise imposed by law, nor impose any liability upon the Borough for damages to persons or property.
