Potential Dog Park Needs Contest Support

Neighbor Randi Lass is spearheading a campaign for the neighborhood to win funding for a dog park through the PetSafe Bark For Your Park contest. People have been trying to install a fenced-in dog park in the neighborhood for years, though there has been some opposition. For this contest, they would first have to win it, then secure approvals, planning, construction and volunteers before a dog run would be built. Even so, she's got her sights set on a space just outside of Windsor Terrace: An area in the Parade Ground, near the tennis center and the police precinct.

This site fulfills the criteria for an ideal dog park: There are minimal residential buildings or businesses around the park perimeter, it is already subject to noise from the heavy car, foot & bicycle traffic, aside from the recreational ball fields & tennis center, people seeking to enjoy peaceful green space because of location, lack of safety, & state of disrepair do not often use the park. It could benefit from the care & upkeep of a concerned citizen group. Most importantly, a dog run can bolster safety inside the Parade Grounds.

We will be judged based on the enthusiasm & dedication of our community. We have until June 1 to express it & get us through to semifinals. Visit our page at:
