A Dogpark is a safe, secure area where dogs can run and play off-leash with other dogs.
Dogs benefit by getting to exercise and socialize off- leash with other dogs in a safe environment.
People benefit by having a place to socialize with other dog owners. Elderly or disabled owners have a place to take their dogs for exercise. The community benefits by promoting responsible pet ownership and public health and safety. Hundreds of Dogparks across the United States have been started since 1991 and have been very successful. The Houston Parks and Recreation Department is open to receiving proposals to locate a Dogpark within an existing City park.
