Many thanks to the Carlsbad City Council and Parks Department who listened to the feedback of citizens (YOU) and changed course with regard to the Poinsettia Park improvements. They rejected all the bids for the park improvement plans and instructed staff to change the plans by removing the dog park from the Grassy Bowl and "exploring its relocation" to the area where the community center was planned. Hooray! This is a better location for many reasons including that it was the spot originally proposed by the group asking for a dog park. Things look good for the Grassy Bowl thanks to your willingness to speak up. During the next 3 months, the City will be soliciting public opinion through online surveys and a community meeting. I will send info on these when I get it. Thanks to everyone who emailed the City Council, attended meetings, came to the events, and signed this petition. Together we were able to make a difference. Please continue to speak up by responding to the City's community outreach about the location of the dog park. Feel free to email savepoinsettiapark@gmail.com with any questions.
