SAN DIEGO (CNS) — City Councilmember Raul Campillo was joined Saturday by many San Diego residents for the grand opening of the Allied Gardens off-leash dog park.
“When I took office as City Councilmember, the Navajo community made it clear that they wanted an off-leash dog park — and I promised them I would do everything I could to help,” said Campillo. “I’m proud to deliver this dog park — the first ever city-funded off-leash dog park in District 7 — for Allied Gardens residents and the surrounding Navajo area. Now, Navajo residents can enjoy a dog park in their own community rather than have to travel to other parts of the city to do so.”
Officials said that the new dog park is larger than 68% of San Diego dog off-leash areas, excluding Dog Beach and DOLAs within regional parks. The park is located adjacent to the Allied Gardens Pool at 6707 Glenroy St., according to city officials.
“This off-leash dog park is a long-awaited addition to the Navajo neighborhoods,” said Mayor Todd Gloria. “Dog parks aren’t just a play place for our furry friends; they help foster a sense of community, promote physical activity and enhance the overall well-being of both dogs and their humans.'”
