A dog park inside Franklin Park is a long-desired amenity by many dog owners (and non-owners) and the city is leading a discussion about location a dog park in the park on Oct. 8.
Feedback during the Franklin Park Action Plain informed the city that people want a dog park. The city is leading several meetings for a Franklin Park Dog Study. As part of the study, the city wants people to take a survey to further inform them about dogs in Franklin Park.
There’s a Roxbury meeting on Oct. 6, a meeting in Dorchester on Oct. 7, and Jamaica Plain on Oct. 8 at the Wilderness Picnic Area in Franklin Park from 4-7 pm. On Nov. 6, the city is leading an official kickoff for the study.
When talking about “dog park facilities”, the city wants to talk about:
- formal dog parks
- off leash dog areas
- site furnishings related to dog care such as dog bowls
- dog bag dispensers.
