There is a significant number of dog owners in our neighbourhood, many of whom have to drive long distances for their dogs to go off leash (legally) in dog runs. We have noticed an unused grassy slope behind the Savoy Park playground which would be perfect for the dogs in this area to use as a space to go off leash. However, we recognise that many residents are uncomfortable with dogs running amok and many owners do not want to risk their dogs running onto the roads and even the neighbouring highway. As such, we propose fencing up the area as a proper dog run, which would address the concerns of all.
The area in question is roughly marked out by a red circle in the attached image. Should residents nearby like to keep the existing footpath and the large area between the footpath and the PIE, even just having the sloped side of the area fenced up for the dogs would be an excellent improvement.
EDIT 8/3/2021: This project has since been adopted by the Eng Kong Cheng Soon Pet Interest Group, and we have expanded the scope of it to encompass all of our furry and feathered friends! In addition, we have shifted the proposed location of the pets' park to an unused side of the Eng Kong Fitness Corner for the sake of increased accessibility for all.
Before this edit was made, there were 60 signatories for this petition.

The momentum behind this proposal has grown significantly since the initial planning stages. It is encouraging to see our community align on the necessity of a dedicated space for our pets. We are now preparing to present these collective views to the relevant authorities.

This dog run would provide a safe area for dogs and their owners to meet and create a better sense of community.
Would be very nice to have an area for the dogs to socialize off leash which is a very important part for them for behavioral growth in our small little country.
I don’t currently have a dog but this idea is a brilliant upgrade of what is basically unused space. With the added benefit of creating another community space.
Fully support this petition. Hope all the dogs in the neighborhood can run freely & off leash!
Fully support as pet will connect human come together which help to connect the neighborhood!
I totally agree n feel that if dogs are well behaved they should be allowed to run unleash.

I think this is a good initiative, but if your goal is to reach 1,000 petitioners, I would recommend that you lower it as there is unlikely going to be that many dog owners in the neighborhood.
