Off-leash hours for dogs in Princeton parks

The Issue

There are no public places that allow dogs to gather off leash in Princeton, NJ. The closest dog parks are in Pennington and Hopewell which both require cars to access. 

Dogs (and their owners) would welcome the opportunity to gather in community, and allow their pets to run free with each other. The pandemic has highlighted how important it is to provide outdoor spaces for people to gather in community.  Many cities (e.g., Brooklyn) have prescribed areas and times which allow dogs to be off-leash.

We request that Princeton designate specific areas and hours where dogs can be permitted off-leash.
