I have been reviewing the feedback provided in the comments to better understand how a dedicated run will improve the experience for all park visitors. These perspectives are essential as I prepare to present our proposal to the local community board.

The momentum behind this proposal indicates a clear desire for improved recreational facilities in Saratoga Park. This community consensus provides a strong foundation as I prepare to present our request to the local authorities.

We need a park here! There aren’t any dog parks in the area, we have to walk really far or take transit. There’s so much space that is only partially used at any time
I forgot to add, the current before 9AM and after 9PM off-leash hours should not be removed if and when an allocated dog run is added.
One of the 4 quadrants of the park can easily be allocated for a higher fenced dog run. Currently the middle of the park has a high fence and dog owners feel safe having their canines there. The NE corner of Howard & Macon St is already a popular quadrant for dogs and dog owners.
people let their dogs go off leash and its getting dangerous. we need a fenced off area for dogs so irresponsible owners dont affect everyone
Definitely needed. I want people to feel free to bring their dogs, but I feel afraid when my baby and I are walking with the dogs off leash.
There aren’t any dog parks in the area, this is long overdue
Parks are for picnics, frizbee, and to take your dog.

We would love to see this happen as a local dog owner and a parent who worries about dogs off leash in the main park.
