I would love to be able to let my dog run free at the park as it a safe environment for her. I would prefer no specified times for dogs to use the park, but would certainly agree to the compromise of specific hours for dogs off leash.
I would love to see a run free area for the dogs of Bainbridge and others. Our dog is old now, but when she was young, she would love to run without a lease and in a safe area. We pay alot of taxes and I would like to see some of that money go to our pets.
I currently drive to Port Orchard so my three dogs can run on the trails and through the fields at Howe Farm. Dogs need to run and explore, but I don't want to get the stink eye from Islanders so I don't take them off leash here. Shared space can work.
Pritchard park is the perfect place to let our four-legged friends run free and enjoy the water. It would be so nice to *legally* bring our dogs here. Living on an island, it is crazy to not have water that is accessible to off-leash dogs. Even if there were clear off-leash hours.
Yes! But before someone arbitrarily sets hours or days, do some research. Camera traps will tell you who is currently using the beach and when and we won't have to rely on anecdotal information. Dogs and their owners deserve some respect and can handle the responsibility that goes with that.
Yes, please!!
I would like to see a few other places on the water where people can take their dogs in addition to Pritchard. Between our other waterfront parks and road ends there are places within walking distance for people and we can disperse the impact that dogs do bring to the beach.

Why not a compromise on the use of leashes in Pritchard Park? Responsible owners shouldn't be punished and relegated to a small, fenced area with no swimming option. Dog owners are not second class citizens
