Over the past several years, the Town has received requests from Miami Lakes dog owners to have their very own dog park. Last year, the Town agreed to lease a parcel of property from the Florida Department of Transportation located at the southern end of N.W. 77 Court, with suitable conditions for a dog recreation area adjacent to future proposed trails and facilities.
The proposed Dog Recreation Area is planned to have separate fenced areas for both large and small dogs, a parking lot, water fountain, and shaded picnic shelter.
The Town scheduled two public meetings to gain resident input on the proposed Dog Recreation Area concept and design. The first meeting was held on Wednesday, December 3, at Mary Collins Community Center.
The second meeting is planned for Saturday, December 6, from 10 to 11 a.m. in Town Hall Council Chambers, 6601 Main Street.
