AGES: 18 ...Thank you!!! :)
The Country Hollow Pooch Park Committee is a group of Walnut, CA residents representing different neighborhoods within our city that are campaigning to enhance our community by having the city create a dog park for the enjoyment of the many dog owners within our community.
Our Goals:
1. To provide a safe, secure, and healthy environment for dogs and their owners to exercise and play together with others off-leash. (There are many people who cannot physically walk their dogs-this would be a great service to them aswell.)
2. To permit owners to support their dogs behavioral stability through socialization with other dogs and people.
3. To support a social environment for the many dog owners in the township and to cultivate lifelong friendships.
5. To develop a well-maintained space open to all dog lovers who are willing to uphold the park's rules and regulations.
6. To view this park as a comunity gathering spot designed o satisfy theneeds of dog owners and non-dog owners alike.
By Joining this Petition I JOIN THE COUNTRY HOLLOW POOCH PARK COMMITTEE IN ITS REQUEST THAT THE CITY OF WALNUT PROVIDE AN OFF-LEASH DOG PARK FOR ALL OF US TO ENJOY.
I'M A WALNUT RESIDENT & AGE 18 AND OVER.
NOTES:
* Many Walnut residents travel to Claremont, Long Beach, Silverlake, or Fullerton to enjoy off-leash dog parks.
*The City of Claremont did its reports and they showed that dog parks make non-significant levels of noise, smell, natural hazards, and dont affect local property values so neighboring homes would not be affected.
*On its busiest day, a dog park will have anywhere from 0-10 dog owners in it at a time. (maximum of 2 dogs per dog owner allowed at one time)
*People who frequent dog parks are responsible dog owners who's dogs are on voice commands and who make sure the parks are kept clean & that everyone else follows rules.
*Dog parks have shown to make dogs more social and less dog & people gressive.
*Dog parks are a great source for the elderly & handicapped to let their dogs get the socialization and exercise they need when they cant take their furry friends out for a walk.
As city officials who's goal is to provide it's residents with a great place to live, please consider our request. We live in Walnut because we love it here and because we hope our elected city officials will serve us to the best of their abilities to make sure Walnut continues to progress to provide its residents with an ever improving Walnut. Country Hollow Park is located above Amar road and is currently just a dirt park frequented mostly by teenagers when it's dark at night and by some dog owners in the daytime. We would like to give it a better use so that more people and their four legged buddies can make good use of it.
The Claremont Pooch Park is a great example of what we envision our own park to be modeled like. It's clean, has a low fence, and anyone not sure of what dog parks are like is encouraged to visit the Claremont Pooch Park with their dog to experience what we hope to achieve.
