Off leash dog park for Cedar Mill?

Dog owners have been wishing for an off-leash dog park in our area. A small group met at the Cedar Mill News office in mid-January to begin to create an advocacy group. Keith Watson, Superintendent of Sports, agreed to attend the meeting to help us understand the district’s requirements and listen to our request.

We have created a Facebook group, “Cedar Mill Dog Park advocates” to continue the discussion and build support.

Watson told us that the minimum considerations and requirements from the district include: an off street parking lot; a water source (may need to purchase and install a meter); an area that is able to be fenced (preferably a small dog and large dog section); and a park that is away from neighboring homes. Once a suitable park property is identified, a Neighborhood Meeting would be held.

If you have a dog that would benefit from off-leash exercise and play, and are interested in helping us work on finding a suitable spot and bringing this effort to completion, please join the group!
