JeffCo Open Space held two meetings asking for input on public health and environmental challenges at the Elk Meadow Off Leash Dog Park. We feel they misled the community and the decision to close our dog park had already been made. As residents, taxpayers, and lovers of the dog park, we demand that our voices be heard and that we be included in the search for solutions and decisions regarding our dog park. We are committed to environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions that address current concerns.

Jefferson County is NOW preparing to close the ENTIRE dog park April 4 w/o considering reasonable and affordable solutions. We have a “best practices” plan ready to safely and sustainably manage the park. Please sign our new petition http://friendsofevergreendogpark.org/sign-our-petition/ requesting reconsideration of our plan & for detailed updates. Please join us for our #barkback Rally, Sat April 1st 2:00 for a purposeful stroll with your dog. Meet at RTD Bergan Park-n-Ride lot in Evergreen!

We would like to keep the petition going for the next few weeks until agreements can get solidified regarding the Dog Park. Please keep forwarding to all you know that share in our quest to have a place where families and dogs can go to play safely with each other. Here is the link if you would like to email it:

We were heard! Not everything we wanted but 2 fenced areas of the Elk Meadow Off Leash Dog Park will remain open. A non-profit group is being formed to work with JCOS to manage it. Hopefully with successful management, we can grow the park to a larger space over time. In the spirit of collaboration, we are cancelling our Rally/Protest on Thursday at 5:00 p.m. Thank you all for your support. It made a difference.

Please, help! More signatures needed. Email or post for friends, family, & people in the community that like us, believe there are viable solutions & reasonable options to closing the park. If everyone got 10 signatures, we will meet our goal. The link is: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/861/113/425/save-our-dog-park/ The Rally & Protest was rescheduled to Thurs March 2, 5 p.m. Bring signs and well behaved dogs to show our commitment.
