Your proposal to conspicuously mark your "No Doggies" areas absolutely will not be successful.

The proper procedure would be to conspicuously mark the affected area as a "Dog Walking Zone" along the lines of the areas marked at Rest Stops on the Interstate Highways.

You should have conspicuous signs to indicate "Please confine pets to this area." An additional "Please deposit dog poop here" would probably help.

In most such areas where I've stopped, these are the only areas where there never is any dog poop.

It's sure to work better.
