For the safety and happiness of Sigonella residents' beloved dog population, we suggest a dog park be erected in an available area in Marinai Housing.
Many residents use the baseball fields to take their dogs off the leash and let them roam free. Unfortunately, the baseball fields have holes in the fencing where dogs can escape, and in the past this has contributed to safety concerns with loose dogs that are not friendly to other dogs, or even people.
Having a safe, controlled environment to let residents' dogs socialize and play will:
1) Eliminate the use of the baseball fields for a dog playground.
2) Reduce the number of loose dogs in Marinai housing.
3) Foster a friendlier environment among the Marinai dog population.
4) Create better morale for Marinai residents.
The upkeep and maintenance of such a facility (i.e. cleaning dog feces and maintaining a water trough and fencing) would be the responsibility of Marinai volunteers. Marinai residents would even consider raising funds if they are unavailable for this venture.
All dog owners would be responsible for their dogs and all vaccinations would need to be current for them to participate.
For questions or concerns, please contact Bonnie Miller at 624-1507.
Address: 2223-B Verona, Marinai.

I was walking past the baseball fields today and saw someone chasing their pup through a hole in the fence again which just drives home how urgent this really is. I get little notes from neighbors all the time saying they are tired of feeling anxious every time they take their pets for a run because the housing area just was not built with our four legged friends in mind. We are looking into who actually holds the keys to the maintenance budget right now even if the bureaucracy feels like it is moving at the speed of light.

Totally for this. Would keep the housing area a lot cleaner too.
Fix the field or give us a park. Either way just do something about the loose dogs before someone gets bit.
PLEASE. Tired of worrying about my pup getting out through the holes in the baseball field fence. This is way overdue.
it would be so much better to have a dedicated spot. the baseball field is just not working for anyone.
Finally someone said it. Every time I walk my dog we have to keep our guard up because someone else's dog is running loose again. Need a safe spot for everyone.

My dog is sick of being on a leash all the time. He needs space to run around and we really need a fenced in area for that.
