Dear East Sacramento neighbors,

I am writing because our community is in need of a dog park. Too often have my kids been playing in a local park and dogs off leashes have come close to them and scared them. It's not that your dog is not friendly, it's that my kids are scared of dogs in general.

Last night one dog off the leash almost attacked my kid after her soccer practice. I was terrified and soon found out (thank you Facebook), that dogs off leashes while kids are playing is a common occurrence in our East Sac parks (Bertha Henschel, Glenn Hall, and East Portal). We are in need for a space where pooches can play off leash and freely without kids around.

Please sign this petition so we can show our city representatives that our community can work together and come up with solutions to have a designated East Sac dog park (heck we already have Healthy Hounds cafe).

Thank you for your time to read and sign this petition.
