Currently in North Delta there is a lack of fenced-in off-leash dog parks with proper facilities. The only one that we know of is a small area in a local park that is not accessible to a large number of North Delta pet owners. It's essential that dogs have proper exercise, off-leash, and in the parks we currently have in North Delta, that's not possible. A dog park in the Mackie Park area would give dog owners of our community somewhere to properly exercise and play with their dogs. Responsible dog owners would respect the dog park rules and all members of the community would welcome the move to providing a large secure dog park, and allowing the city parks to be free for the rest of the public. We present this petition to the Mayor & Council of Delta in the hope that local dog owners' views will be heard and we will have a safe and secure area to play with our dogs locally, with no need to drive to distant parks multiple times a day. Mayor Harvie has promised more Delta dog parks and has established one in the South Delta Tilbury Island area. The Mackie Park area would be an excellent additional area to help Mayor Harvie fulfill his promise.
