Petition for Enclosed Dog Recreation Spaces in Boston, Spring 2007 directed to:
Commissioner Antonia Pollack, Boston Parks Department; Mike Ross, Council District 8; Mayor Thomas Menino; City of Boston and other interested City Officials.
This petition, supported by the undersigned constituents of the City of Boston, is directed to Commissioner Antonia Pollack, Boston Parks Department; Councilor Mike Ross, Council District 8; Mayor Thomas Menino, City of Boston and other City Officials.
Its goal is to support the immediate designation and construction of a fenced, off-leash dog recreational space as described and mandated by City of Boston Municipal Code 11-10.2 Dog Recreational Spaces, to compensate for the loss due to proposed restoration of the Boston Common Parade Grounds and termination of the off-leash dog recreational program, upon which many taxpaying citizens and their dogs are completely dependent.
Further, this petition
The feedback I receive lately emphasizes how vital these open areas are for our community members and their animals. While the process of engaging with city officials remains slow, I am continuing to document our collective need for a dedicated space. Your participation remains the backbone of this effort as we pursue a formal response.
January 19, 2007
Reaching this level of engagement confirms that many of us share the same vision for how we use our public parks. It is encouraging to see our neighborhood concerns gain this kind of recognition from those who truly value the spirit of our city.

we need safe spots for our dogs to run in the city. there is literally nowhere else to go now.

really hope this happens soon. having a fenced area makes city living with a dog so much easier for everyone.
