Our goal is to add Grand Rapids to the list of progressive communities that recognize the value of dog parks in socializing our pets and strengthening our neighborhoods. We want an enclosed off-leash park for our canine companions, one that’s formed in cooperation with the city and that acknowledges our rights as tax payers.
