Lake Merritt Dog Park

The City of Oakland approved this park in 2006 but it was never built. Now they are stalling construction by constantly making new demands on the dog owners about design issues and budget before they will re-approve the park. It is important for dog lovers to contact the parks department and the city council members to insist that this park be approved and built in 2010.
