As someone who adores their family pet, an often unwelcome large dog, I can't overstate how crucial a welcoming, safe environment is for all dogs, regardless of their size. This petition is brought forth with the clear intention of providing a solution for all dogs and their owners at Creekside Dog Park. Implementing a separator to create designated areas for small and large dogs will undoubtedly enhance the safety and enjoyment of all park attendees.

Research has shown that dog parks that incorporate different sections for different sizes of dogs can help prevent incidents or accidents due to size disparity. According to a study on the benefits and potential risks of dog parks by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA, 2019), separation of small and large dogs can contribute to a safe, enjoyable experience for both dogs and their handlers.

In our situation, my canine friend and I are often greeted with unwarranted apprehension at the Creekside Dog Park due to her size. A designated area would not only ensure safety and minimization of possible accidents, it would also ensure that owners and pets enjoy themselves without fear.

Your voice, through signing this petition, will take us one step closer to achieving our goal: A Creekside Dog Park that is more inviting and safer for all. Let's create enhanced conditions for all dogs and their owners in our community. Please sign this petition today.
