We the citizens of Mecklenburg County and registered and potential users of its dog parks, petition Mecklenburg Park and Recreation to keep the application, registration, yearly dues and card swipe system in affect at the current dog parks in Mecklenburg county and proposed sites of new dog parks. We feel the system not only keeps our dogs safe, but also helps to reinforce the rules and regulations and keeps members accountable for their actions and the actions of thier dogs. We also feel that without the system the dog park will become harder to monitor and maintain.

Durham uses an access system which is much less expensive, but just as effective. Up-to-date rabies vaccinations don't prevent injuries resulting from attacks by aggressive dogs, which will be much more common if access is open to everyone. Please reconsider this decision! Thank you.

When something is free it becomes valueless,
then abuse of privilege begins. Clean-up will become a major problem, bercause it's free, it
doesn't belong to them, let someone else do it.
As far as the rising cost Is it administrative
Those who use the park, I am sure, would be
willing to volunteer their help. Put it out there,
ask, you will find eager participation. Thank you
for allowing comments, it shows you really do
care. We are grateful for the clean, safe environment for our beloved little friends and
we want it to stay that way.
Thankd you, Donna Milam

I am the owner of a Siberian Husky (Sammie) who was attacked by a Cane Corso on April 27th at the Reedy Creek Dog Park. The owner of the Cane Corso did not have a pooch pass and slipped in behind a pass owner. Her dog aggressively attacked my dog immediately after slipping through the gate left open. Personal identification information was bogus, and without a pooch pass there was no record of the owner nor the dog. What will become of the dog parks once the gates are "FREE" and we have zero control

Please do not open the dog parks to the public, we need some control over the parks and with vaccinations, so un-vaccinated dogs do not put other dogs in danger.

No vaccination proof No "skin in the game" with a fee will not be in keeping with the dedication with which we regard dog ownership.
