The city council officially approved the land allocation for the new off-leash park design this morning. We are now shifting our focus to reviewing the construction tender documents to ensure the facility meets our safety standards. Thank you for maintaining the pressure required to reach this agreement.

Not a dog owner but I see so many people struggling to find space. It would keep them off the public sports fields.

About time! A fenced area is the only way to be safe. My dog is a rescue and needs the space to run. DO IT.

Long overdue. The closest park is way to far. Make it happen city hall.
