SITES
We
first introduced PADZ to the Encinitas City Council in October of 2001.
We had a very positive response from both audience and council members.
Our
presentation outlined the community benefits of
dog parks, the basic requirements for a dog park, and discussed
properties that we feel are good candidates for dog park sites.
