The Elk Grove Park District Board of Commissioners approved turning Udall Park into a dog park. The Elk Grove Park District is proposing to erect a 6-foot fence around the entire open grass area of the park. Not only would this fence be an eyesore compared to the open green grass we currently see, it has the potential to negatively affect our property values while bringing in a lot of parking, people, and dogs into our backyard. The owners of 615 who face West will no longer be able to sit on their balcony in a quiet, relaxing environment. The idea of bringing a new dog park into Elk Grove Village is great, but putting it right in our backyard is not the proper place for it. Join our voice to petition the park district to find a better location that is suited for a dog park. This public hearing will be held on Monday, September September 28 at 7:15 pm in the Council Chambers at the Charles J. Zettek Municipal Building, 901 Wellington Avenue, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007.
