The city of Phoenix parks Board is going to be looking at putting in a temporary dog park at Margaret T. Hance Park on June 28.

Being discussed is an area between Third and Fifth avenues near Culver Street. Many central Phoenix residents are excited about the project; while, others aren’t so sure.

On April 25, 2012 Councilman Michael Nowakowski held a neighborhood meeting to discuss the issue of a possible dog park location.

Nowakowski indicated that it may be some time before the site might be a dog park because this park is undergoing a re-master plan of the entire park. It has not been determined if the 3rd Avenue to 5th Avenue site is going to be a dog park or some other use

The meeting is at 5 p.m. at City Council chambers. If you have a strong opinion about this, please contact Nowakowski at (602) 262-7492 or councildistrict.7@phoenix.gov.

Special thanks to city of Phoenix parks board who responded to our request for information in a really timely manner!
