City Council Considering Mabel Davis Dog Park

A reader, Tim Thomas, recently informed me that Austin City Council is currently considering building a new off-leash dog park in Mabel Davis Park, in Southeast Austin, and near St. Edward's University! (I am an SEU alum.)

I was very excited to learn about this park and sent City Council an email offering my support for it. Not only do I love dog parks, but I also love getting involved with local community issues, especially those related to development. (I am currently waiting to find out if I am accepted to grad school to study Community and Regional Planning.)

The plans for the park look pretty awesome. Although it is planned to be fenced in, and I personally prefer unfenced (due to owner attentiveness) the plans include an agility area which would be SO MUCH FUN, and would truly be like a doggie playground!
