Owners who let their dogs roam free in city parks in Pasadena, Calif., could face a fine of up to $500.

After getting several community complaints, the city of Pasadena, about 10 miles northeast of Los Angeles, announced it would start enforcing a city code starting Feb. 22 that prohibits off-leash dogs in parks.
