This program matters to many in our community; keeping it and actually implementing it is the best solution for our multi-use parks and fields.

Why people sign

Dogs are family members, they belong in parks and public areas alongside their humans

It’s community building, it’s good for the dogs and for the residents to have a place to socialize both the dogs and people, build community and also have a space where dogs can run freely and responsibly

Being a member of a community of dog-owners has been one of the best surprises of our family’s 27 years in Belmont. I have met people who have enriched my life and exposed me to many different world views, perspectives and lived experiences. The dog park is one of the few remaining places where we can practice democracy while also caring for our beloved animals.

Community to me means being able to connect with other town members with different backgrounds, age groups, interests, when we meet at the Town fields with our dogs. Belmont would be a town that respects community building if it retained the Paws in the Park Program.

Off leash dog parks bring the community together.
