Mandeville Dog Park

I support the creation of official, off-leash dog parks and/or areas in Mandeville. Dog parks are the answer to dogs running loose in public areas! They are also indicative of a healthy community.
Off-leash dog parks provide a place for dogs to socialize with each other, getting the physical and mental exercise they need to be good companions and good neighbors.
In addition, off-leash areas benefit the community in many ways:
dog parks keep the animals away from children and people who dont like them
they help keep other public spaces free of feces
they promote responsible pet ownership
they promote public health and safety since the dogs who use the park must be licensed and vaccinated
they provide a tool for enforcing dog control laws
well-socialized dogs are less aggressive towards people and other dogs
for elderly and disabled people, a dog park is often the only accessible place to bring their companions to socialize
they foster community feeling -- dog park users get to know each other well
dog parks are desirable neighborhood amenities for newcomers
Mandeville is known for its parks and green space, so a dog park makes even more sense here than in New Orleans, where there are already three parks! Every major city in the U.S. has at least one dog park, not to mention how many small cities have them. New York City alone has 26!
Dog parks are not a fad; they are being created across the U.S. every month due to the combined efforts of community groups and local governments.

As one of the owners of Good Dog Naturally in Covington and a business sponsor of Mardi Paws, which demonstrates how many dog lovers we have in this area, I am 100\% in favor of this. It is long overdue!!
