I'm not absolutely sure. I imagine pets, dogs, could be allowed as long as they are on a leash. There are ducks and geese in and around a nearby pond, plus rabbits and squirrels throughout the nature trail following the creek. A loose dog would/could create havoc. That's why I think IF pets are allowed, a leash would be required. When we visited we were literally the only ones there, so it was impossible to see what other visitors might do. To be safe, I recommend contacting the site directly either by phone or email.
