Dog Park Program Elements Survey

Section I

Friends of Evergreen Dog Park is actively engaged with Jefferson County Open Space and Evergreen Parks and Recreation District to identify a new off-leash dog park site. We hope to have a new site identified by the end of this year. Your input on this survey will help us know which park features and management approaches are most important to everyone.
