Timberlake Park on Lake Sammamish is one of the few places where residents of Issaquah have been able to take their dogs for a swim. In this heat, having this option close has been incredibly important. People who use the park, and a majority of them have dogs, respect the park, their fellow dog owners, and those who are their without dogs.
Recently, the park has been changed to a No Dogs park without any warning. The dog bags are gone and dogs are technically no longer allowed. We cannot stand by and let this happen. There are tons of places for people to swim, and very few for dogs.
If you, like the founders of this petition, care to keep your park dog friendly please sign this petition. The only other options are Marymoor and Beaver Lake, both long drives and the water gets filthy in the summer when the dogs need it the most. We CANNOT LOSE THIS PARK.
Please sign and help keep Timberlake Park on W. Lake Sammamish dog friendly like it always has been and always should be. Note, there will be a meeting in the first week of September to make the final decision. Check in at the Issaquah web page to get the date. We need you to show up and voice your opinion.
Thank you
The momentum behind this effort is growing and it proves that our community refuses to lose our access to the water. We have real leverage now so email your city council representatives today and insist they reverse this ban.

I moved to this area specifically because of this park. Taking it away from our dogs is just plain mean.

Ridiculous decision. Weve been going there for years without a single problem. Leave the park alone!

Keep it open for the dogs. They need a place to swim too.

The dogs are cleaner than the people honestly. Never seen any trouble there. Bring back the dog bags please.

TOTAL B.S. I drive all the way from the other side of town just to let my pup cool off. Fix this.
