I would love to have a dog park in town, rather than driving to Iowa City to use theirs. It's often not worth the drive as I spend more time in the car than at the park. If it was in town, I could visit the dog park far more often. North Liberty is a fairly young city, with many citizens in condos or townhouses withough yards. How many people would benefit from having a place to let their dogs (and themselves) exercise and socialize in town? A tired and well socialized dog is a quiet and friendly dog. Having access to an off leash dog park is a benefit to those with dogs (who would expect to pay for the park via tags, just like we do now for Iowa City) and those without dogs as fewer dogs would be in the regular parks off leash. Thank you!

I am 33 and physically disabled from a stroke following a traumatic brain injury but am fully independent. Due to severe chronic pain I cannot take my dog for a daily walk, as every step and secind standing exacerbates my pain increases exponentally the more I wall aND stand. I use Thornberry Off-Leash Dog Park, but that is 25 minutes away from my house here in North Liberty. I am very stoic and pick up my dog's fecal matter, but am then able to sit while my dog plays. My hometime, Washington, Iowa, has an off least dog park in their main park. Many people walk their dogs on my road's sidewalk. An off leash dog park is essential in making North Liberty a wonderful town! Thank you.

Being I live here it makes sense to have one so I don't have to take my dog to Iowa City.

A local dog park is MUCH needed. So many of us drive into Iowa City to meet the emotional and physical needs of our beloved furkids.

Dog parks are awesome. Make sure u make it sectioned. So if 2 dogs can be together or like a shitzu and a st bernard can still play but not in the same area. I wish west branch had more than just one big huge section. :( also a decent way to get water. And shade is good. Doggie bags are nice. We have a portapotty. It's nice. I don't use it but it could be nice in an emergency.

In my experience as i have worked at the dog park. These parks generate more traffic than any other city park. They also generate more income in tag sales. Be mindful of the closing terms don't underestimate the tag fees.
