Welcome to the Gallions Reach Dog Park petition. Dogs in the area need a place to run around and get out their energy, and with a residential area that prides itself on being pet friendly, there is a lack of evidence showing that inclusivity. 

I've lived in this area for 5 years and I have yet to see anything in line with creating a space for them.

One space that would be great and checks all the boxes is the park on Shackleton Way, in between George Court and Guthrum Court. This is an enclosed space, with hills for them to run over, and a few benches for pet owners to sit on. The hills discourage ball games and there is no playground for children leaving this park empty almost daily.

If this park must be dog free, another option would be to create a gated space. One possibility would be the grassy park next to Twinespinner Building called the Twinespinner mean-while park. 

Signing this petition shows that 1) this area needs a space for dogs to run around off lead 2) the Shackleton Way park is a great space and is a waste if dogs aren't allowed. Alternatively, 3) if that park is off limits, NHG should build another gated park on the estate.

Thank you for taking the time to read this form and on behalf of all dog owners in Gallions Reach, we appreciate you!
