As a Millbrae resident and proud dog owner, I’ve always longed for a spot where my beloved canine companion, Boba, could safely run, play, and socialize with other dogs. Unfortunately, our city currently lacks an exclusive off-leash dog park. This is a significant oversight, especially when nearby cities have taken the initiative to invest in such facilities. It's time Millbrae followed suit.

The city is planning a reactivation at Mills Estate Park, and an exclusive off-leash dog park would be perfect for this spot! Imagine the joy of having a dedicated space where our dogs can roam free without the restrictions or risks of shared-use parks, and where we, as owners, can connect and share experiences. Such spaces promote healthy lifestyles, offer mental and physical stimulation for pets, and enhance social interactions among dog owners.

Moreover, investing in an exclusive dog park in Millbrae aligns with our city’s values of promoting green spaces and community well-being. Studies show that dedicated dog parks help reduce stress and increase mental health in dog owners, fostering a happier and healthier community overall. The implementation of this project at Mills Estate Park would also draw visitors, adding economic value and vibrancy to the area.

We have the opportunity to make a positive change that will benefit not just dogs like Boba, but all residents who cherish and care for their pets. Join us in urging the city council to take this necessary step for our community. Please sign and share this petition to help transform Mills Estate Park into a space where dogs and owners alike can enjoy a sense of freedom and belonging. Let's make the dream of an exclusive off-leash dog park in Millbrae come true!
