Support New Dog Parks - Yett Creek & Mabel Davis

Off-Leash Park Adopters, Park Advocates, Volunteers and OLAAC Members Past & Present,
Two new off-leash dog parks are in the works for Austin, and we need your help in getting the word out to the community to support these new locations. Please forward this information on to your network of supporters.
Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) have two “new” locations selected for off-leash consideration - Yett Creek (walking trail – North Austin) and Mabel Davis (fenced - South East Austin). Stakeholder meetings for both begin this month.
These two locations represent a stepped up effort by PARD to expand on the number of off-leashed parks. As park advocates for off-leash environments, it’s important we get the word out and have a strong show of support for these new locations at the community stakeholder meetings.
If possible, please make plans to attend these community stakeholder meetings shown below. If you cannot attend, email your support to the email addresses list below. We need a strong showing of support from the dog park community.
