A DOG PARK FOR LOGAN!

The City of Logan's Parks and Recreation Department provides its citizens with 34 beautiful and highly accessible parks. However, the number one rule (according to the official Parks and Recreation Facilities brochure) boldly states "No Dogs Allowed"!

This over-generalization of dogs (and dog owners) does not fairly reflect the interests of many taxpayers in Logan. Dog owners have been alienated from city parks because of ordinances restricting dogs from being in parks, even when leashed!

The Logan City Council has tried to address this problem previously, yet discussion of off- leash dog areas was put off until the city's Master Plan could be more fully developed.

THE TIME HAS COME!

The Logan City council has completed its evaluation of the Master Plan, and now has the time and resources to address this issue. Please let them know how you feel by signing the online petition.

The citizens of Logan are blessed with an amazing landscape; mountains and lakes are freely available to all who can access them. While many citizens have the ability to run, hike, and jog, there are still many who do not have this mobility. For instance, when was the last time you saw a disabled access ramp on the Wind Caves trail?

The City of Logan has an obligation to provide places for the elderly and disabled to exercise their best friends; their dogs.


Why Do We Need A Dog Park?
  • Socializes and exercises dogs in a safe environment.
  • Promotes responsible pet ownership.
  • Provides elderly and disabled owners with an accessible place to exercise their companions.
  • Enables dogs to legally run off-leash.
  • Promotes public health and safety.
  • Provides a tool for realistic enforcement of dog control laws.
