How many people on Main Street own a dog and do not have a yard for little Fido to run all his energy off? There are plenty people! As a Main Streeter myself, I am bummed for my dog because he has no place to “unleash” his energy safely! I am even more bummed there is a perfectly good space of grass on the 200 block that is not being used that could easily be turned into a dog park for our dogs! I say easily because the fencing that was needed to make it a dog park was going to be donated. The City of Denison has plans to make this area of grass into a fancy place for people to sit which is not a need for Main Streeet. There are already plenty of places for someone to sit and enjoy this Texas heat. What there aren’t plenty of places for, are areas where our dogs can run around and be dogs! I have debated leaving Main Street so my dog can have a place to run securely, and I cannot help but wonder how many people have decided not to move to Main Street because downtown Denison is lacking such an important part of downtown living. We need something closer than Waterloo’s dog park AND we certainly need something closer than Sherman’s soon to be developed dog park. The fact is that small dog parks are popping up everywhere in other city’s as the demand is there and it will make or break the decision about whether to live in downtown Denison or Sherman. I am asking for your support by signing this petition in hopes to open the eyes of the people who are developing Main Street so they will realize how many people need a dog park on Main Street in their life.

The community needs safe places like this to visit with their families and pups! The demand for places like this is growing alongside the growing population moving north from DFW.
A dog park is critical for downtown residences as well as to attract as a anchor to drive more traffic downtown. The plan for heritage park and possible elimination of more green space by way of pavers and other features limits the space available to take our dogs out. With this said, we desperately need a space for our dogs.
This has to happen!! When we lived on main, our Great Dane had nowhere to go and just be a dog for a bit!
Even if it was temporary until the City actually does something with it. Would not even cost much to put up two 25' iron fences. Compared to building one at Waterloo park where every residents in that area has a back yard already. Not to mention it will give citizens one more reason to come enjoy Down Town.
What I wouldn’t give to have a place to allow our babies to run off leash! I’m happy they are developing a dog park in Denison but what’s the point of one by Waterloo? All of the people who live there have yards. It will mostly be for visitors which is great but those of us that live here have a NEED! We desperately need a place and the pocket park would be PERFECT!!!
This would be awesome
I need one for my puppy

I don't live there but occasionally come through as I do travel with my pups. Sounds like this may be a great place to stop and stretch our legs and do some shopping.
