What Local Leaders are Saying About a Dog Park
Members of the Friends of Oxon Run Dog Park Group—the volunteer group of Ward 8 residents who would support and maintain the dog park—have attended several Advisory Neighborhood Commission meetings to present information and take questions from neighbors and commissioners. And after hearing from us and other constituents, all three Advisory Neighborhood Commissions adjoining Oxon Run Park—8C, D, and E—have voted to support a dog park in Ward 8! You can read their letters of support below.
Our hope is to enlist the help of even more local leaders, including business owners and community organizations, to present a clear and consistent set of community-driven priorities for a dog park in Ward 8 to the Department of Parks and Recreation.
Please contact us to learn more about submitting a letter of support on behalf of your business or organization!
