Opportunity costs of building this park would include less land for outdoor recreation or public recreation. The town is very limited on public spaces and land so creating the dog park would consume further parts of the land making even less of space for

The town has a scarce amount of public space for recreation so I believe that when things are created they should equally serve all the towns people. The town already has a very low amount of public goods and for the goods that are available they're too pricey for everyone to attend. I feel that it would be a good idea to make a dog park, but they should also split it into two and make another park that's usable for the towns people and children. That way nobody will feel left out and they can make the best use of the small public space availability. Also the local schools would be very close to the dog park so the children could make use of the park if it was for both pets and
I think dog parks are a good idea. Dogs need alot of exercise and play time. Many cites and urban areas just dont have the room for that to happen. But there are optoins there many open unused lots, and empty building that could be torn down to create these places. I am a dog owner myself i live in the country were open space is abundant. My dog Neno can run a play all he wants it's good for his health and mental state. When he doesn't get out he gets cranky and chews thing around the house. I grew up in a city of five millon, so i know how hepful a dog park can be to dog owners. You should always have your dog around other people, and animals,
2. List the possible resources that the town would need to construct and maintain the park?
My city or anyother city could do without a dog park if they don't already have one. In "No Dog Park for Muscatine" it say that "It would be a burden for taxpayers and a lawsuit waiting to happen." I agree with this the citizen in my town would have to help fund this project no matter if they support it or not.
In this large populated area, the on going noise of barking dogs and yelling owners can become a bit annoying. This is essential for those that enjoy the peace and quiet of their community. Therefore, building a dog park in a more isolated area, would be more ideal.
Before you jump to the hasty conclusion that I’m opposed to a dog park because I do not have a dog, let me assure you I do have a dog and am aware of my responsibilities as an owner. The principal argument for a dog park is “exercise is important to dogs’ mental and physical health.” I would take this argument a step further and state exercise is also
I would certainly agree that a dog park is a beneficial addition to a community in which many residents own dogs. The particular benefits that such a public service offers should not, in my opinion, be dismissed.
I believe that a dog park would be an excellent idea for Muscatine, Iowa. Not only would a park benefit the dogs but it would benefit the owners. A dog park would help in raising and caring for the dog. Dogs should be able to play and be free in a space that they will be safe. Not everyone has the space available at their homes. Some people live in apartments that don't have the yard space needed to let the dog run around. Expecially with bigger dogs. They need a lot of room. I can understand why people would be opposed to the idea though. There's always a chance of a dog harming another animal or human. Dogs can carry diseases, fleas, lice, and other harmful things that can be transfered to humans and animals. But if you let yourself
I believe one of the biggest problems that they face if the dog park is bulit will be the noise. As stated in the article the average dog bark can reach 75 decibels and large
Dog parks are places usually in a protective environment where pet owners can take their dogs for exercise and to socialize with other dogs. Some people believe that dog parks are unpleasant.Other people view dog parks as a benefit to a neighborhood.This issue is complicated.I believe dog parks are great.
I believe that we as a state should we deside if that's a good idea or not. I think this way becuase there are many perspectives that you have to take in. You have to know how many people are in you town. You also have to know if you have enough space for a dog park.
Studies show that roughly 2 million pet dogs end up in the shelter every year from lack of exercise or being lonely. That alone should be a hint that building a dog park could benefit us. You can even think of the park as a therapy treatment for your companion. It can also benefit a lot of citizens from Muscatine, because nearly 70% of their residents live in Rental units(mostly buildings), which means there is very limited space and areas to where you can bring your pet. The less freedom the more you risk giving your dog the chance to act out, destroy furniture, etc.. and you don't want that.
I do believe it would be best for everyones sake if the dog park was built. Clearly, the passage stated in benefit to the dog park being built, "Bad behaior caused by dogs being lonely or poorly exercised is partly responsible for the 2 million pet dogs that end up at U.S. animal shelters every year." The prevention of putting an animal in a shelter could possibly avoid lawsuits from the animal attacking a person.
I believe most if not all cities should have a public dog park. Since I was nine years old I have always owned a dog. I have lived the city all of my life as well. Living in the city there is many apartment buildings with little to no yard space. To keep a healthy and friendly dog the dog needs exercise and play dates. Because most pet owners in the city have no yard space for these activities. a public dog park is the perfect solution.
A group would have to go talk to the city and get it approved with them, the more people the more the city is going to believe that it is great idea (Weiss-Roessler para 4). More dog loving people will have to help fund the park, the city may help. If the city doesn’t totally fund it there can be fundraisers that will help pay for the fencing, the sign of rules and anything else in the park (Para 6). After the park is up and running there should be volunteers to help run it, they could stop by and make sure it is clean and be the ones to contact if there are any issues with the park. The park
Dog parks are a staple of urban and suburban areas, a place where dog owners can congregate and converse about the local gossip, or goings-on about the neighborhood. Over the past 12 months, a group of people have come together to propose allocating land for a dog park in Weston and tensions are running high.
