My personal experience as a dog owner in our community illuminates the necessity for an off-leash dog park in Cloverdale Park. Having seen the number of dog-owners increase over the years, it's clear that the demand for a dedicated space for dogs is more relevant than ever. A safe, designated area for dogs not only provides an outlet for their energy, but also essential socialization opportunities to ensure their wellbeing. According to the American Kennel Club, dogs require physical and mental stimulation to stay healthy, which an off-leash park would greatly facilitate. This move would not only benefit the dogs but also strengthen our community as a whole by promoting responsible pet ownership and providing a place for pet owners to connect. We urge the city council to prioritize the construction of an off-leash dog park in Cloverdale Park. Please sign this petition to show your support for our four-legged friends and their owners.
