Open a fenced, off-leash dog park in downtown Barrie
I saw the previous suggestion from 4 years ago regarding a waterfront dog park. I wanted to renew the subject with a new post. My suggestion is a dog park in the downtown area. Doesn’t necessarily need to be a beach, just a fenced area that is safe for both our dogs and the people passing by. Maybe a part of the Sam Cancilla Park? That, I would of course leave up to the city planners.
I am sure you would know the numbers, but from what I observed; there is a large number of dog owners living in the downtown area. Our furry friends have a need to run around freely at times, some breeds more than others. I feel we should be a bit more empathetic of these pets living in condos without access to a backyard.
I am more than happy to keep my dog on-leash in public even if she is well behaved and very friendly, I understand some people might have fears and trauma and we all need to respect that.
Thank you for your consideration.
