This is not just a dog park. It is an intergenerational community meeting spot, with a most spectacular, wild, natural environment. It provides peace and brings mental wellness for so many. It offers a walk through nature, unlike anything nearby, offering the chance to bird watch and sit on the benches amd take in the sights and sounds- it's distance from the noise of the town and traffic makes it especially meditative.
It allows the dogs to socialize as well as the people We are both creatures who need high amounts of socializing, even us introverts And an opportunity to roam free and enrich ones's senses, dogs and people alike.
I encourage you deepen your commitment to the health and wellness of your
community, and support the benefits of having access to this particular park. Data show when humans spend time in nature, all of our health markers improve.
This park brings people and dogs togetber, yes. And it offers a guarenteed improved health amd wellness for the surrounding
community .
Please find a third pathway solution to keep this open.
Closing it seems to be a very narrow solution. I have faith in your creativity amd commitment to the civic well being of your people. Thank you.
Repair Linda Dog Park, and, explore additional locations for off-leash dog parks in Piedmont as well. I think it is clear that many Piedmont families include their dogs as important parts of their household. Off-leash dog parks provide an opportunity to build and strengthen our community.
My anxious dog Lopo learned to socialize at this dog park. He originally stood around awkwardly and then after a few times, learned to join in, then he started making real dog friends that he would whine to go in and play with, now he cries every time we walk by the (locked) gate. I agree that erosion needs to be addressed, but there has to be an alternative dog park proposed or close off sections and slowly remediate. It doesn’t make sense to take this community amenity away. It strengthens both human and dog bonds!
Louisville where I grew up and lived for 25 years is unique largely because of it's parks and green spaces. We live in Scott County now, but go to Louisville often to visit dear friends and family. The park system, thanks primarily to Olmstead's plans provides places to breathe, to enjoy what the green spaces provide as respite from the concrete jungle. It's beyond reason to fill them up with more concrete. Pickleball may be fun, but simply enjoying the quiet spaces provided by Mother Nature. PLEASE don't spoil it. 🙏
Laws need to change to better reflect the value of animals as living beings and not just objects or property. Animals (all animals) deserve the same rights as humans. The only difference between us and them is that they don't have a voice.
We need to put an end to animal cruelty. This starts with high kill shelters. A shelter is supposed to be a safe place for a dog not a place where a dog is put on a timeline for execution. These kill shelters are inhumane cruel. They are killing dogs merely for space, they are killing babies, pregnant dogs, senior dogs, and healthy, beautiful dogs. California, Texas and Arizona shelters all need to be charged with animal cruelty. Dogs and cats provide us with unconditional love, they trust us and we need to be the voices that save their lives. I do not know what our society has come to people are heartless and cruel. My heart aches every day knowing that so many innocent dogs are being killed.How is this legal?
This matters because 1,000s of healthy animals are put down each day to make room for others even if they are not healthy enough to be adopted and they should have shelters to help the healthy and the sick
Stop with the euthanasia of dogs. We all deserve to live!!
If I have to pledge to donate adoption fees for one dog per week just to save him or her I will do it!
Texas is killing mothers and puppies, we need this to stop immediately.
Help them please stop the kill shelters!!!
