Petition to change the hours we can be off leash at Dudley Allen Park

Kerry Shelby has started an online petition to request the town to increase the off leash hours at Dudley Allen Park.

I support this effort and encourage all Leonia Dog Owners to sign it.

Dudley Allen Dog Park Hours


Dog owners residing in Leonia are eager to utilize the Dudley Allen Dog Park during peak day light hours! I need your help to change the hours so our 4-legged family members can play in the park :)
1. The dog portion of this facility is separated by a fence from any area that children or adults may use. There is no sharing of space so dog use would not impede on people use.
2. The facility does not require any person or persons to be employed to monitor its use, thereby not requiring an increased expenditure of any kind to the town to increase hours.
3. The dog parks in the following local towns have adopted a sunrise to sunset policy. Livingston Dog park, Maplewood/Millburn Essex Co. South Mountain Dog Park, Louis Morris in Morristown (9:00am to sunset), Overpeck Co. Park, Elysian Park in Hoboken, Voorhees Dog Park, Cameron Dog Park in Parsippany and many others.
There is no inconvenience to other park users, no extra expense involved and there is a precedent set by other communities around us to increase the hours that the dog park is available for use.
