Digs for Dogs

A dog park is an important part of the community. We as a community feel the need for an off-leash, fenced in area, dedicated to our dogs. 

There is a great amount of interest in establishing such a park in Queens County. Other communitys that have an off-leash, fenced in area, have shared their many bennifits of having such a park.

"Personally, I believe that dog parks make owning a dog in these modern times a possibility. Otherwise, many dogs would be faced with the prospect of living life on a tether. PPP allows our family to own active dogs while living in the city. It is also a great opportunity to build a community. Mornings at PPP are always a positive start to my days. And in this day of low fitness and poor eating, a park where dogs can goes just encourages all of us dog owners, pet lovers and just folks who enjoy meeting others in their community, to get out there with them and get fit."  – Bonnie

"Wow, there are so many benefits to having a green natural place for both people and dogs to roam freely. Impt. to me is the opportunity to for both my dogs and me to commune, relax and restore ourselves in nature and in a natural way…roaming freely. Also, is the wonderful opportunity for both of us to socialize (I mean real socialization in the flesh not electronically..not that my dogs text) and build community. In this fast paced world, after a trip to the park with my dogs I feel much more grounded, renewed and connected. My dogs are relaxed, content and calm. The park and the ability to roam freely in it supplies us with a safety valve to release stress and tension, lower blood pressure and increase all those happy hormones. I sure hope those people in Brooklyn get their off leash park."  – Marjorie

"Although all dogs benefit from an off leash park, I’m convinced that with certain types of dogs it’s an absolute necessity. Our Springer Spaniel belongs to the Sporting Group and what a difference walking him off leash vs on leash. On leash he can be distrustful of other dogs and even people but off, he’s in his element and beautiful to watch as he pretends to hunt, follow scents,explore, etc. Every person and dog is his friend. His other favourite activity, fetching a ball and bringing it back, fills him with delight. He even barks at me… demanding that I toss the ball again and again. No way you can do that on leash."  – Don
