We as the dog-loving families of Hunter Army Airfield ask for the creation of a simple dog park on post.

When a dog has proper exercise they are less destructive, which may lead to less home damage, and fewer injuries to the dogs themselves. As well, proper socialization is vital to the health of your dog. Neighbors can get to know each other better and the dogs can have fun with other dogs.

The idea for the dog park is to add a sense of community for the on-post families; and give the off-post families a safe and familiar place to bring their dog. We want to give the members of each family, including the animals, the opportunity to come together and socialize and be a part of a greater family. The park gives the pets the opportunity to exercise and play so that they can stay fit, healthy and friendly, which allows them to live longer, healthier, happier lives.
