Why Do We Need to Save the Dog Park?
The Lakewood Dog Park is in danger of being shut down. There is a lawsuit pending against the city of Lakewood to close the park.
Why Would Someone Want to Close the Park?

Wasn't This Case Settled Already? Is it Back?
This case was originally dismissed, but was quickly appealed by the plaintiffs. The appellate court ruled that the case should not have been dismissed originally. The case is now back in the original court to be tried.

What Are You Doing to Keep the Dog Park Open?
The most important thing we are doing right now, is convincing everyone that the park is worthwhile to keep open, hence item number 1 at the top of this page. If you haven't done it already, scroll up and send out that email!
Wasn't There an Article in the Paper Recently?

The Lakewood Sun Post ran an article about our rally titled Lawsuit over Lakewood Dog Park nears settlement with creative solutions.

The Lakewood Observer recently ran an article titled Give a Bark to Save the Park.

There was also an article in the WestLife newspaper back in December, but it isn't available online right now.
