The Petition
Petition for OFF LEASH Dog Area in Guelph Park
- There are 15,000 dogs registered in the city of Vancouver.
- Many dogs are registered in the Mount Pleasant area.
- Charleson Park is the nearest OFF LEASH Area 2.6 KM away from Guelph Park.
- Trout Lake is the 2nd nearest OFF LEASH Area 3 KM away from Guelph Park.
- Neither of these parks are located in Mount Pleasant.
- Currently there are no OFF LEASH areas in Mount Pleasant.
- As dog owners, we get fined for having a dog OFF LEASH in the park, although the dog or the owner has done nothing to harm or cause a disturbance to the park, the other park users, or other dog owners.
OUR STATEMENT:
- To provide a common area, where dogs can play and learn to socialize with others dogs and people.
- To develop a beautiful, well-maintained space open to all dog lovers and friends who are willing to uphold the park's rules and restrictions.
- To view this park as a community project, in partnership with the Mount Pleasant Community, designed to satisfy the needs of dog-owners and non-dog owners alike.
OUR REQUEST:
- We, the petitioners, request a DESIGNATED OFF LEASH AREA as mapped out below.
- Just like Charleson Park we request off-leash times to be 6am to 10pm year-round.
- Please sign the Petition below. Thanks for your support.
