9/17/2015 21:29:49	2	No	Yes	Fairness in park usage	No	Reduce off leash dogs	98112	Male	25-34	White	English	10/17: 1:00-3:00pm Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, 10/19: 6:00-8:00pm Garfield Community Center, 10/27: 1:00-3:00pm Greenlake Community Center
9/25/2015 11:09:39	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Golden Gardens Park OLA	Weekly	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	I like the trails and OLA areas offered by SPR. I would like more off-leash areas, as we don't have one in walking distance right now though. The closest is Golden Gardens.	98107	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	4	5	We walk around our Ballard neighborhood daily. We also go for on-leash runs in Discovery. For off-leash exercise, we usually go to Golden Gardens or Magnuson.	Running on-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 11:12:08	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Carkeek Park	Daily	on-leash	No	I have noticed that several Eastside parks limit the numbers of dogs that can be with a single person. I have encountered dogwalkers with 8 - 10 dogs in small off-lease areas such as the park on 130th NE (near Northgate Elementary). This park is too small for this number and creates a potentially unsafe "pack" issue for other dogs visiting the park -- and difficult for the dog walker to properly clean up after dogs. I do appreciate the disposal bags. I bring bags for our two dogs, but am occassionally surprised.	98177	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	1	2	community volunteer on health and education programs.	Daily, sometimes twice daily, walk from the entrance of Carkeek Park through the park and back home. sometimes through the park to QFC on Holman. Always on lease, but encounter dogs off leash on the trail from the park to QFC.	Walking off-leash	No
9/25/2015 11:12:26	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Please establish and maintain basic animal welfare standards for off-leash parks. Fences shouldn't have wires and nails sticking out. It's unsafe. The drainage problems are bad and lead to disease. And the presence of foxtails is quite dangerous. Once these basic needs are met, please consider adding some lighting - at least in the main area. The kiddos get all sorts of lighting for the many soccer fields. Why can't we have one light? I'd donate money for it. Finally, it would be nice to have a surface with grass. The gravel and dirt is really hard on dogs' pads and joints.	98105	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	2	3	Walking and running on-leash	More interesting in smelling than playing
9/25/2015 11:12:32	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Not Applicable	Not applicable	on-leash	Yes	More poop bags in non-off-leash areas of parks would be nice.	98103	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	4	5	I walk my dog around Fremont frequently. About once a week, we go to Woodland park and walk around on the trails, on-leash. About twice a month, we drive over to Magnuson Park. We walk around the park on-leash, and sometimes meet up with some human/dog friends. I keep my dog on the leash and they let their dogs off the leash. We walk around, and swim in the water (I wade). I keep my dog on her leash because she is blind but we both still enjoy being outside in dog-friendly areas together.	Walking on-leash	No
9/25/2015 11:12:50	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	Improved dog parks, for example more water access, improved grass area, maintained walkways, and ample parking.	98125	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	2	3	I visit Magnuson of leash dog park twice a day, every day with my three dogs. We walk through the interior of the park off leash.	Walking off-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 11:13:25	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Woodland Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	It would be great to have more small but local off leash areas. I need to drive my dog to Woodland from the Fremont area, which is fine, but it would be nice to walk him a few block away to an off-leash area, even if it isn't a huge area (like Woodland). We just relocated to Seattle from Philadelphia - Philadelphia had great local off leash parks that we sustained and maintained by community volunteers. These parks were small and simple mulched areas, but they were great community space.	98103	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	5	5	Recent transplant to Seattle.	Take my dog to an offleash area every morning and walk him on leash around the neighborhood in the afternoon.	Running on-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 11:13:38	1	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	I think our city needs a lot more designated off leash areas because people frequently violate leash laws and use human parks for unofficial dog parks, which is hard when you are trying to obey the leash laws plus have your kids with you. As a dog owner I recognize that not everyone likes to be approached by strange dogs, including myself. In a highly populated area we need to do our best to ensure that the majority of people feel safe and comfortable. Providing more OLA areas can help.	98106	Female	35-44	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	1	1	We obey leash laws, so use the leash for walking in general neighborhoods. At the off leash dog parks, our dogs are permitted to run as they wish as long as they are not bothering other people or dogs, which they generally don't.	Walking on-leash	some dogs yes and some no
9/25/2015 11:14:09	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Magnolia Manor Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	I would love to see a doggie day-care co-op or some type of affordable dog daycare program. Currently, all the daycare prices seem to be aimed at Amazon employees, and there is just no way I can afford $650/month for daycare.	98109	Female	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	3	4	Unfortunately, there is no off-leash dog park in upper Queen Anne. My dog is very social, and as I live alone, she needs to be take to the dog park a couple of times each week. So even though I walk to work and take public transportation at all other times, I keep my car just so I can drive her to a dog park, as it's too far to walk. There is a large community of dog owners in upper Queen Anne that all have to sneak our dogs into parks after dark, once all the humans have gone home. Sometimes people come by and take pictures of us having our dogs off-leash in a non-OLA, but what other option do we have? Dogs need to run, and there is nowhere else to take them around here. It's sad to feel like a criminal for trying to keep your pet healthy and happy!	Walking off-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 11:15:06	1	No	Yes	No	While I don't currently have a dog, I have been volunteering for the Seattle Animal Shelter for over 18 years and take shelter dogs running in Myrtle Edwards 2 times a week. It is stressful for us to encounter unleashed dogs in the park because we can not control the interaction - if the encounter does not go well, it is likely the shelter dog that will suffer the consequences. It would be wonderful to have an off-leash area nearby that these dog owners could be referred to. It would also be nice to have more effective enforcement of the leash law, but I know that takes manpower. I adore dogs, so for me off-leash dogs are more of a safety concern because they are not in the owner's control and no one can predict how unfamiliar dogs will interact.	98109	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	3
9/25/2015 11:16:29	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Woodland Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	Provide more off leash areas fenced or not.	98115	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	3	3	Walking on and off leash	Yes
9/25/2015 11:16:47	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Riverview Playfield	Daily	off-leash	Yes	More official off-leash areas that aren't dog parks, like the walking trails at Westcrest, Lincoln Park, or the Duwamish Green Belt. Dog parks often can be too crowded, dusty/muddy depending on time of year, small (not much area to play or walk), and plain uninteresting for dog or human. Trails have more variety, more opportunities for exercise and exploration, and better maintained walking areas. Also, allow dogs to play on the beach.	98106	Female	45-54	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	5	5	We walk along the trail behind the sports fence (bordering the greenbelt), and sometimes along the Duwamish greenbelt trail below the park. When the playfields are not in use, we play chase with other dogs, throw sticks & balls. I put her on a leash when I see other dogs on leash, but if it's a dog we know, I don't put her on. If it's a new dog who is also not on a leash, I call ahead to say, "Can they play?" I trust the other owners to know if their dogs need to be on-leash or not. Many dogs have leash aggression issues, and meeting off-leash for the first time is less stressful, for everyone.	Walking off-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 11:16:47	4	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Pigeon Point Park	Daily	on-leash	Yes	Have more off-leash areas for dogs so that folks don't have to travel so far to use them. Follow Portland's and/or Vancouver BC's models.	98106	Female	45-54	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	2	3	I've been a dog owner in Seattle for 20 years. We travel with our dogs to other urban areas that "do" dogs better than we do -- Portland, OR + Vancouver BC + Victoria BC come to mind. I'd love for Seattle to develop a more progressive and inclusive off-leash dog policy. More resources ($$) and brain-power need to be devoted to this issue, especially as density and population increases dramatically in our beautiful city!	We walk our two dogs together, on-leash, around our neighborhood of Pigeon Point and then through the trails in Pigeon Point park, behind the Pathfinder K-8 school.	Walking on-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 11:19:19	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Myrtle Edwards Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	more enclosed off-leash dog parks and enforcing on-leash parks...	98119	Female	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	2	3	I usually run/walk my dog on-leash on the Elliott Bay trail or around Green Lake... I also exercise my dog by taking him to enclosed off-leash dog parks.	Running on-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 11:19:58	4	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park	Weekly	off-leash	No	More water access	98106	Male	45-54	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	3	3	Walks around the trail loop	Walking off-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 11:21:03	4	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Brighton Playfield	Daily	off-leash	No	Allow for off leash time in all parks at times when the parks are the least used,i.e., late evening and early morning.	98118	Male	35-44	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	4	5	Early in the morning we walk to the park on leash and if the park is empty we let one or both dogs off leash to play catch. When other people and dogs are near we do not allow off leash time.	Walking on-leash	One does the other does not.
9/25/2015 11:21:37	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Discovery Park	Weekly	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	Allow off-leash on the large field at Discovery Park at certain times of the day/week. Suggestion would be before 9:00 or 9:30am and after 7:00pm. Also do NOT allow dog walkers with multiple dogs (over 3).	98117	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	4	4	I am good at solving issues and not focusing only on MY view. I like to hear what other people have to say, even if I do not think I agree. I understand that people may have had experiences that I am not aware of, and we are all different.	We walk our 31 pound dog on-lease at all times until we are on the large mowed grassy field area. We let him run on the field off-leash and then we put him back on leash. We do this early mornings when typically we are the only people there or just one or two others with their dog.	walk on and off lease	not too many at a time	The ONLY meeting I am available to attend is the last one at the Magnolia Community Center as we will be out of town after the 13th and until the end of the month.

9/25/2015 11:32:10	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Golden Gardens Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	The pee smell at most off-leash areas is the worst. Mainly in the summer. If some sort of solution would fix this it would make my life way better. Disposing of poop is another smelly problem. It would be great if there was a better solution here too.	98107	Male	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	2	3	We typically park at the bottom (near the beach), then walk up to the off-leash area. Let the dog play/socialize for about 20 minutes, then leave. Walk the trails up near the OLA for a bit - sometimes on-leash, sometimes off-leash. Then walk back down towards the beach on-leash and walk more or relax on a bench. Typically 1 hour adventure.	Walking on-leash	Yes	Not sure I understand the point of these meetings. I'm not really interested in attending.
9/25/2015 11:33:57	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Beacon Hill Playground	Daily	on-leash	Yes	There should more off-leash areas in the city. I have one fairly close by (Jose Rizal), but I am lucky to be reasonably close to one. Entire areas of the city are underserved, e.g. Capitol Hill.	98144	Male	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	4	5	We go through the playground. If the tennis courts are unused, sometimes I let my dog run around with me off leash. If there is no one on the play field, sometimes I let my dog run around there off leash. These activities happen about twice a week. Otherwise, he stays on leash for his safety.	Walking on-leash	sometimes
9/25/2015 11:37:25	2	No	Yes	No	Keep parks safe from irresponsible dog owners who let their dogs run free and neglect to scoop.	98116	Female	55-64	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	2	I'm only interested in attending the meeting at Camp Long, and would only consider Magnolia as a possible #2 option.
9/25/2015 11:43:16	3	No	Yes	No	Create more separate pooping areas in parks that dogs/owners tend to use.	98106	Male	55-64	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	3	2	I work in Parks as a contractor, and I tire of putting my hands/knees/feet in dog poop - it's a worker safety issue for my employees, and a public health issue for populations that fish in Puget Sound. I also dislike being menaced by off-leash dogs. I have a proposal that is not command-and-control enforcement, rather a peer accountability suggestion that could at the same time raise money for more parks to accommodate the demand/need for dog runs. I also have environmental suggestions to mitigate polluted runoff from dog runs.
9/25/2015 11:44:23	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	Recognize that there are more dogs than children in the city and we need to find a balance between safe clean playgrounds and safe clean dog parks ��	98115	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	5	5	I was on the board for SPACE at magnuson park, helped build the p patch there. I own my own professional service business and have time to get involved to help with this project.	Walk around off leash and surrounding areas in the am to avoid dog walkers and aggressive dogs everyday but Sunday. Use the trails, kite hill and nearby soccer fields to escape overused, smelly narrow gravel walkways when kids and other park users are not present. Too many dogs use the off leash, need much more space, grass and natural areas. Perhaps we could have more dog parks and limit dog walkers to 3 dogs over visit, like Edmonds does.	Walking off-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 11:48:41	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Green Lake Park	Weekly	Greenlake offers both options!	Yes	Its a fact - Seattle Residents love dogs and we have very limited areas's to exercise and socialize our Family Pets. I feel strongly that in very public area's every effort should be used to enforce the leash laws not only for the protection of individuals, but also for our Pets. But, there are plenty of parks in the Seattle area that could be designated as off-leash parks between 6am - 8am and 6pm - 9pm. Parks should be for everyone to enjoy. I really believe that there's enough Park space to be shared by all. Lets work together to find a plan that's reasonable, fair and in the best interest of all those in the community.	98103	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	5	3	Seattle is one of the most incredible places to own an animal, trust me I've lived in all 4 corners of the US. The off-leash parks made available are beautiful and truly a wonderful experience not only for our dogs but also as an opportunity to socialize and get to know the people living in your area. I think if you look at the dynamics of the "Family" you'll agree it's changing. More and more people are waiting to have children and opting for pets. The ratio of Children to Adults vs Dogs to Adults is almost double. Lets educate, accommodate and continue to work towards whats best for all those in our community!	As a small business owner, I am fortunate to be able to bring my dog with me everyday. Every evening and on weekends we walk our dog in our neighborhood on-leash. We are very close to Greenlake and Wallingford Park. I will admit that at times we as a group of dog owners will allow our dogs off-leash after the park is vacant - Our dogs are family!	We walk on-leash daily and off leash in appropriate areas	Yes	Greenlake is the only location I will be able to attend if I'm lucky enough to be chosen.
9/25/2015 11:55:51	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	We need more and larger shelters at Magnuson. The heat is pretty unbearable at times and it rains a lot, so shelter would help us immensely.	98125	Male	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	2	2	I walk briskly to the water and back, and most of the time I walk or stand.

9/25/2015 11:59:41	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Occidental Square	Daily	on-leash	Yes	It would be great to have a dog park in Pioneer Square. It would be better for socializing dogs that are more aggressive when on the leash vs off. Also the current use of the stadium when open as a dog park is great for all of the residents of PS but it has limited hours and sometimes the chemicals used on the grass gets the dogs sick. As more and more people call Pioneer Square home this will become a more vocal issue with residents.	98109	Male	35-44	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	2	2	Walk around the neighborhood and thru the park from king street all the way to the end of the park.	Walking off-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 12:03:08	4	No	No	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Daily	on-leash	Yes	It would help if Seattle Parks and Recreation better understood the different needs of dog breeds and their owners. Wide open off-leash areas with no woods that are stripped to bare dirt is not that helpful. Dogs and their owners enjoy nature as much as nature lovers do. Too often "off-leash" areas become unattractive and overcrowded and unsafe. I seldom visit off-leash areas, including Westcrest. It isn't enjoyable for my dog or me as an owner.	98126	Female	65+	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	3	3	Thanks for inviting this discussion. I know it isn't easy, and there isn't a perfect answer.	I visit Lincoln Park daily. Much of the time, I exercise my dog on-leash. I do take my dog off-leash on back trails to give him more opportunity to run and more freedom.	Walking on-leash	Yes	Please only consider me for Camp Long. Thanks.
9/25/2015 12:04:30	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	E.C. Hughes Playground	Weekly	on-leash	Yes	off leash parks that are grass. i love westcrest (thank you!) but during the rainy season it creates more mess than its worth.	98126	Female	35-44	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	4	2	i'm a single woman, so safety is also a concern, both for myself and my vehicle (i have heard of car breakins at west crest, and i would not walk through those trails at night by myself)	i generally walk my dogs around the neighborhood and if there are no children playing soccer or baseball at e.c. hughes park, i take them in there. we walk the entire park a couple of times, genrrally on-leash. i will sometimes let 1 of my dogs off-leash to play with another off-leash dog (i only trust 1 of my dogs off-leash, the other will chase squirrels).	Walking on-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 12:07:35	5	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Daily	off-leash	No	I think the Off Leash Areas are dirty and poorly maintained. I don't think un-neutered and un-spayed dogs should ever be allowed in Off Leash Areas and I don't think people should be allowed to bring more than 3 dogs per (adult) person into an offleash area. Dog walkers with 10-15 dogs make the park dirty, filled with poop, unsafe, and create an undue burden on OLA.	98126	Male	35-44	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	5	5	I walk a loop with my dog while he is "off leash", but I put him back on leash when dogs or people approach. He is under control of an electronic collar, which is considered to be "on leash" by many cities (including Kirkland).	Walking off-leash	Yes	8PM meeting times, 6PM is when people get home.
9/25/2015 12:09:57	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Northacres Park	Daily	off-leash	Yes	Create more mini parks where we can walk our dogs on leash in places close to high density housing. Right now, I take my dog out 3 times a day to relieve herself. I can't drive to the dog park 3 times a day, and I don't like taking her by the apartment complexes near us, including my own, because in the summer when there is no rain, a lot of places just smell badly of dog urine. It would be great if that vacant SDOT land could be made more dog user friendly by keeping out the illegal activities.	98133	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	5	5	I actually do a lot of on-leash walking in the Seattle Department of Transportation vacant land 1 block north of me which extends from approximately N. 120th St to N. 125th St. This land sits vacant and attracts garbage, illegal camping, drug dealers and prostitutes. I can use it about 2 weeks out of the month after the police and SDOT have cleared out the problems.	Walking off-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 12:11:12	1	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	I used to visit it daily. Now we can't because there are ALWAYS off-leash dogs there.	on-leash	No	Enforce the leash laws strictly and vigorously - which I understand you can't because you're understaffed and so is animal control.	98146	Female	25-34	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	1	1	I am able to hear and empathize with others, despite having strong opinions of my own. This is an issue about which I am passionate; it would mean a lot to me and to my family (including my baby and dogs) to be able to be part of this conversation and workgroup.	We used to walk and run, ALWAYS on leash. We used to hike all over, also on-leash. Now that we can't, because they were attacked by an off-leash dog and all three of us are traumatized (one of my dogs almost died from the attack), one of my dogs is having behavior problems because she isn't getting enough exercise, and the other one is having weight problems because he isn't getting enough exercise. I really wish we could come to some agreement. I don't need all the parks to be on-leash, but as long as the law says they are, I have a reasonable expectation that others' dogs will be on their leashes. When people feel entitled to let their dogs off leash, it results in me never being able to walk my dogs, literally. We are all miserable because of it. We miss the parks and trails.	Running on-leash	Mine used to until they were attacked by an off-leash dog while we walked (leashed). Now they are terrified of other dogs and I cannot walk in any parks or take them hiking. I'm very upset at the dog owners who think they can just violate leash laws.	Nothing - I will go wherever and whenever if I am selected to be part of this group. Thank you for your consideration.
9/25/2015 12:14:08	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Trolley Hill Park	Daily	on-leash, off-leash, Frisbee in back lot of park, if not in use.	Yes	Dogs and people like to run and play. We need areas that are friendly to do these types of activities close by in our neighborhoods. Our official off leash dog parks are cramped and less than desirable places to spend time. It would be a great use of our parks to make them off leash friendly at least for periods of time when they aren't being used. Most of the parks I walk by are deserted much of the day and are unused space that creates a space for crime and vandalism.	98109	Male	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	We walk 2-3 miles around the neighborhood daily on-leash. If there is an opportunity in an unused park area for the dogs to socialize or run we often will try to include that a few times a week. This is also a great time to talk with other dog owners and we usually clean up any garbage around the parks.	Walking on-leash	Yes	I don't have a car so it is unlikely I would walk to any of the meetings as none are in the Queen Anne/South Lake Union/Belltown area. The survey is making me make a selection however so I'm picking the closest two, but these are not ideal.
9/25/2015 12:17:06	1	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Golden Gardens Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Cleaner dog park. Staffed to enforce rules	98103	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	1	1	We foster	We have a small yard and need space to RUN	Walking off-leash	One does one does not
9/25/2015 12:19:28	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Blue Dog Pond	Daily	off-leash	Yes	More off-leash areas. Along with year-round water access and lights in those areas. Some small amount of shelter in those areas would be nice as well. More areas with lake access that can be off leash for the hot summer months.	98144	Male	35-44	Black or African American	English	Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	4	5	Fetch and agility-type exercises around obstacles in the park (benches, rocks, ornaments).	No	Yes
9/25/2015 12:20:40	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Ross Playground	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Allow dogs off-leash in neighborhood parks. Fines should be given only to people who break dog-rules such as not cleaning up after your dog or your dog bothering other park visitors.	98107	Female	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	We take laps around the entire park avoiding the playground area. Because we're not technically supposed to be there we go only early morning or later evening.	Walking off-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 12:21:23	2	No	No	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Clean dog parks with amenities such as water, some covered areas, grass or wood chips rather than muddy play areas. Lighting for evening visits, restrooms to allow longer visits and benches or seating. Some fun areas for dogs to play such things to run under, obstacle areas, etc	98136	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	2	2	I am single with no children and likely not to have children so my pets (dog/cat) are considered family and my dog goes with me most places and even vacations. I know there are others out there who want the best for the dogs, so I'm excited to see what progress can be made for us dog moms..	Week days my dog is at doggie day care 2 days and on Fridays she is picked up with a group of dogs to go to Westcrest Park for a few hours. Weekend we walk daily or a couple times around the neighborhood or at Lincoln and Loweman parks when we live close by.	Walking on-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 12:25:21	2	No	Yes	No	I don't know, but I am tired of stepping in dog shit and being barked at by off leash dogs. I actually like dogs very much, but there's a minority of owners who don't seem to be able or willing to control their dogs. I don't think increased enforcement would help as that sets up a confrontational situation. Perhaps some education about what constitutes responsible dow ownership.	98108	Male	65+	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	1	3	Jefferson or Garfield would be my top locations, but I am not available on the 17th. I'm actually booked on the 15th, but I will skip that commitment.

9/25/2015 12:45:04	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	In the summer, it would be nice if there were more beaches where dogs are allowed, as I live in West Seattle and it can be a trek to get up to Magnusen just so my dog can have a place to swim or splash. I would love if there was an off-leash area that was close enough for me to walk to, or if fenced areas that are not used at night, such as empty school yards, allowed dogs to run off-leash. Then I could walk my dog to a close-by area and throw his ball, etc. With new development happening all the time, continuing to preserve greenbelts and spaces with urban trails for hiking among the trees or along creeks is very important as part of urban planning.	98126	Female	35-44	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	2	3	Morning and night I walk my dog on-leash around my neighborhood or along various trails such as the Harbor Avenue Trail or the Longfellow Creek Legacy Trail, and may visit local parks such as Jack Block, Camp Long, or Lincoln. A couple evenings a week or on the weekend we will go to Westcrest Park Off-Leash area for running and socializing. On weekends we may opt to go trail hiking somewhere in the region. In the summer we go to Magnusen for swimming.	Walking on-leash	Yes	Parks should have EV charging stations (free or pay) so that park users like myself who drive electric cars can charge while we enjoy our time at Seattle parks. Help support a greener future by helping expand EV infrastructure and raise awareness in the process.
9/25/2015 12:47:37	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Golden Gardens Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	I would like to see recreational fields have designated times when dogs can play. It's a tremendous waste of free space when it's not being used and dogs are not allowed to be unleashed there. I have a young active dog and walks are not enough exercise. And the time it takes to travel long distances to go to a suitable park is impossible because of work and other things.	98107	Male	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	We play in the off leash dog park at Golden Gardens with other dogs. My dog likes to run and chase other dogs. I also walk her off leash in the nearby trail because she likes to run around the woods. Running up and down the hills is great exercise. I also take her to a nearby field where dogs are not allowed to be unleashed. There is almost always several dogs there. I play ball with my dog. She is better at playing ball here because the field is soft on her feet and it has enough room for her to run hard. The dog park is not conducive to that because of the gravel and sand and dust and other putrid conditions, and the hills and other dogs interrupt her ball chasing.	Walking off-leash	Yes	Can I bring my dog?
9/25/2015 12:54:13	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	No	Open up more hiking trails to be off-leash friendly. My dogs need a lot of exercise, and love to follow trails in the woods. Off leash trails would be heaven for them. That and water access. There are almost no in city areas for dogs to swim. And none in West Seattle. It would also be helpful to regulate the amount of dogs a single dog walker can take to an off-leash park. It has gotten nearly impossible to take my dogs to Westcrest park, due to the amount of unsupervised dogs.	98106	Male	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	4	4	I was born in Seattle and love this city very much, I don't have any children, but I have two lovely dogs. Seattle is an outdoor, dog friendly city, and it is growing. We need many more spaces for people and dogs to run free. There are so many underused parks that could be repurposed to allow dogs. Underused parks invite dangerous behavior. Dogs and greater use of these parks will bring better safety to not just the park, but the surrounding area. Just look at that little park in Belltown. (its not perfect, but it is a step in the right direction. Anyway, thanks for reading.	We go for at least an hour walk, or to and off-leash area each day. Most of the time we go to off-leash parks outside of the city due to overcrowding in the parks near to where we live. (i.e. Marymoor, Grandview.)	Walking on-leash	One does, the other doesn't.	make the meeting about an hour later, getting home from work and then getting my dogs out, then to the meeting will be a stretch. (unfortunately, I am out of the country 10/12 - 10/24.)

We dog owners came to city council in the beginning not because we were looking for recreation for ourselves but because we were looking for a way to get our dogs under control. This is a tall order. We need the city's help and partnership in this common goal. Instead of brooding over badly behaved dog owners start appreciating the journey all dog owners go through from utter ignorance to enlightenment and see how you can help speed it along - besides ticketing! If the city doesn't support that journey it is contributing to its own animal control problems. KNOWLEDGE How do you support that journey? Knowledge: Fortunately there is a lot of new science, and in audio/visual form, to expedite the dog owner's education. What we don't have is hard data on different off-leash area designs to judge which designs give dog owners the best tools for getting control over their dogs. The city should collaborate with academics and experienced professionals to advance the science of off-leash area design towards developing facilities that help rather than hinder dog management. Design would need to include the rules and management of the sites. INCOMPATIBLE USE Support responsible dog owners by protecting them from incompatible use of the off-leash facilities. Dog owners need a controlled setting and a refuge from the many stimuli that dogs find provocative. The sites should only be for the people who are there to attend to their dogs' behavioral needs. I see way too much activity in Seattle’s dog parks that has nothing to do with dog management and that actually interferes with what responsible dog owners have come there to do – get their dogs worked out and manageable. Peer pressure is not sufficient to bring about appropriate human behavior at the sites, particularly when the rules have not been fleshed out and well explained. People who cannot control their dogs are not going to be able to comply with rules no matter how much pressure is on them, no matter how much they would like to comply. Seattle should follow S.O.D.A.'s practice of posting prominently signs at the entrances stating that you shouldn't go in if you don't have voice control (also explain what "voice control" is - you really have to spell it out better in signage.) Off-leash activity is different from other forms of recreation – I would not categorize it as recreation at all; it’s more a public safety function in that it enhances citizen dog management. So, I do believe it is appropriate to regulate more forcefully what goes on inside the fence. I sense that the vast majority of dog owners are staying away from the off-leash areas because the facilities are unsafe - anybody can go into them and do anything. I would like to see a pilot site where you have to have a Canine Good Citizen certificate to get in, because exposure to humans who have no working relationship with their dogs is the main problem in the dog park. Being required to show proficiency would be a good way to integrate public education into site design, since it would be necessary for many people to take classes to qualify for entry. The AKC has indicated to me that they would consider collaborating with the city of Seattle on certification. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT I saw a study that showed compliance that the more the public is allowed to participate in rules creation the more the public is invested in following the rules. The hope was that COLA would provide this public engagement. COLA has not proven itself up to the task, and that's because the organization's bylaws shut the members out of all decision-making. This can and should be corrected and would result in increased contributions from this 501(c)3. EDUCATION The city is going to have to invest more in public education. It would be an investment that I expect would pay for itself. Maybe we could get Seattle Humane to help. Maybe you could give off-leash offenders the option of watching a video instead of paying a fine. DESTINATION SITES The movement to have an off-leash site in every neighborhood is, I feel, unrealistic and unwise. It necessitates the creation of small sites, and small sites lure newbie dog owners into situations they can’t handle and are fertile ground for dog squabbles, which teach bad dog behavior. What we need is a few "destination sites," i.e. big facilities that can accommodate every size and type of dog - something like a long track (1.5 mi minimum) that maximizes use of space by creating an infinite loop.	98125	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	3	3	Responder updated this value. I was very involved in the creation of the off-leash program in Seattle. I represented the NW part of town. Northacres was one of our proposals. I was on the blue ribbon panel. I was Secretary of the COLA board its first three years. I also served on the COLA board more recently trying to get the board to revise its bylaws. I have been fighting for quality off-leash areas for 30 years. I have seen all the off-leash areas in Seattle's vicinity and many in other cities. I fought to protect Marymoor dog park from extinction. I was on the blue ribbon panel of Shoreline (– in fact I quit because they weren’t going to fence some of their sites.) I have a fair amount of grass roots organizing experience. I am a registered parliamentarian. I started a dog club in Broadview neighborhood. I am a student at the U in Applied Animal Behavior. I have owned 13 of my own dogs, fostered 3. I have taken many courses in dog training and participate in online forums. I have volunteered for Seattle Humane and taken classes there. I was a dog walker/sitter for 10 years, have experience as a kennel and dog grooming assistant.	As I say, my dog is currently lame and she's elderly. She used to be quite a ball dog and I would do quite a bit of ball throwing at the beach at Magnuson - but I had to put her off to the side to shield her from the competition. I feel that with many dogs balls are a bone of contention and do not belong in the main area of an off-leash site. Walking or trotting from point A to point B is the other mode of exercise I would prefer, as the other type - standing around while dogs joust - is problematic.	both walking on and off lead - dog is lame	certain dogs	No worries.
9/25/2015 13:43:24	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Woodland Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	There really need to be off-leash areas in our existing large parks, and they should be better integrated into the rest of the park. It is absurd to me that there is no OLA at Discovery, Volunteer, Seward, or Gasworks. Portland has designated areas in parks that are not necessarily fenced, and that would be so welcome in Seattle. In a city with a per-capita dog rate that people with children, it is incredibly frustrating to be limited to primarily muddy pits separate from the rest of the park to exercise my dog. Magnuson is the rare exception, but located far from dense housing and of course, in a high income neighborhood. It benefits everyone--people with and without dogs--to have better exercise facilities for dogs. We are an increasingly dense city, and tired dogs are certainly better behaved dogs! Many dogs do better off-leash than on-leash, and a 30 minute walk is nothing compared to the running a dog gets in 30 minutes off leash.	98103	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	3	3	Walking on-leash	Only when off-leash

No new parks should be built without dog exercise areas. 2) Set a specific limit to the number of dogs in the park with one person. Dog walkers are taking advantage of the hard work of COLA by irresponsibly bringing in far more dogs than they can handle and my dog has been attacked and harassed by dogs whose owners are paying for their care. 3) Find a way to increase beach access for off leash dogs. Overall, I want Parks to start paying more attention to dog owners. I am sick of not being able to take full advantage of the parks because of leash laws and banning dogs at shorelines. We have more dogs than kids in Seattle now, and plenty of taxpayers who *only* use the parks to exercise & socialize with their dogs, but they are still treated as low priority and not given dog friendly access to the parks. Parks seems happy to spend money on improvements for kids and sports, but dog owners are still left behind.	98144	Female	35-44	Prefer not to say	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	1	1	I would very much like to see a dog park in Judkins Park. The Central District really highlights how much effort we put into parks that are not dog friendly and how badly dogs & their owners are treated. Judkins area as sports fields, a water feature where dogs are not allowed, a playground, a skate park, tennis courts, picnic tables, food prep areas and bathrooms. There are THREE other parks with playgrounds within blocks of Judkins - plenty of great space for kids. On the other hand dog owners who want to exercise with their pets are pushed three blocks away into a dirty, wet drainage ditch full of blackberries, foxtails and trash without even a porta potty for the owners. I would like to see a section of Judkins (or Powell Barnett or Blanche Lavizzo or even Jefferson Park) sectioned out for off leash dog exercise.	She's a baller so we mostly use the chuckit to allow her to run distance. We also practice on and off leash training in the fenced dog park. We would go to blue dog more often but it is disgusting if it's rained in the last 3 days, and too dark to avoid stepping in poop most of the winter evenings. It's closest to my house though. We go to Luther burbank in the summer for beach access, and Westcrest on the weekends. I follow leash laws pretty meticulously and my dog does not like to be approached by off leash dogs when she is walking on leash.	Off leash @ dog park, on leash when walking	Yes but it's a problem when she is leashed and overly excited off leash dogs approach	Thank you for doing this research and including dog owners a bit more in Parks planning. It's a great thing to see that there is some interest!

9/25/2015 14:24:07	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Daily	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	I think there needs to be more "education" on using dog parks and using parks with your dog. Signage, volunteer "guides", volunteer park "monitors" who could help educate folks on how to manage conflicts, how to be respectful of other dog owners and people, when someone may need to take your dog home because it's not a good fit. It would be great to have times in parks that are more dog friendly when we can share the larger spaces in our parks. I know in New York at Central Park, 9am-9pm is on-leash and there are areas that are restricted but many areas that are open to dogs. As a Seattle example, Lincoln Park has several areas that would be great to have available from 6am -9am with signage about sharing the area and taking care to clean up. In Spokane, many parks are considered Off-leash as long as you take care to clean up. These are parks and areas of parks that aren't as busy. Some parks in Spokane indicate on-leash only but it's not a blanket rule for the city and I think it offers people more flexibility. I also think there should be substantial fines for people who don't license their dogs, aren't carrying clean-up bags and who don't pick up after their dog(s). That to me is a problem. I'd love for that to be a bigger focus. Maybe you require dog licenses to enter dog parks? I know there must be better ways to benefit from Animal Control's limited time and resources.	98146	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	3	4	I have a background in team building and facilitation. I'm an advocate for pet adoption and support several rescue organizations including Seattle Humane and Old Dog Haven. I love our parks and feel so lucky and grateful that I live in a city that currently provides so much access to natural, open areas and I support activities that nurture and protect our natural areas. Thank you for including the community in helping to make decisions about sharing space and providing for dogs and their owners.	For my enjoyment as well as my dog's, I try to visit all sorts of parks and locations both in Seattle and around the sound. In addition to Lincoln Park, which is in my neighborhood, we love Luther Burbank on Mercer Island and Golden Gardens in Ballard. I look for ways to provide a broad mix of off-leash and on-leash experiences depending on safety and how busy an area is. Even in off-leash areas there are people who don't pay attention so I try to go to off-leash areas when it's less busy. We also walk in various neighborhoods on-leash because I think it's good to have opportunities to include more structured exercise.	Walking onleash and off depending on circumstances	Yes

Too many people want to "just let the dogs work it out" when in actuality one dog is clearly being a bully and he other is getting increasingly stressed and anxious. That is how fights start. More opportunities for segmented play: my dog is a rough and mouthy player. It freaks a lot of people out. For that reason she is excellent with dogs larger than her who can just sit on her or stand and walk away. We hover to make sure she doesn't ruin another dog's experience at the park, or cause any other owners to get nervous, but it's not easy to do that in some of the larger parks.	98144	Female	25-34	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	3	3	Typically we take her for 2 long (45 minute walks) each day which involve going through our neighborhood and neighborhood parks (Colman, Frink, Sam Smith) Sometimes mid week, or on a weekend we will take her to Blue dog pond, after a shorter walk. Our dog is very high energy, and needs to burn some energy off before we hit the off leash park, but we don't stay very long. She begins to play less with other dogs when she is tired, and she goes all out even after some excercise. We'll be at the dog park for 15-20 minutes before leaving.	Walking on-leash	Yes

9/25/2015 15:25:01	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Regrade Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	More, larger parks, better monitored. Regrade OLA is wonderful for what it is, but being located in the heart of Belltown, it could use some extra TLC from the SPD and Animal Control. Seattle is a dog loving city. There are a lot of dogs, not a lot of parks. The concentration makes for a lot of problems. More parks could cut down on odor, parasite/disease, clean-up issues, dog and people personality conflicts, and make it easier to keep the parks multi-use.	98121	Female	55-64	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	2	3	Single, disabled. My dog is a medical alert service dog.	I have a high energy dog. We visit Regrade OLA daily because it is closest to home, but it doesn't fit our needs nearly enough. I walk with my dog on leash as much as possible, averaging 3- 5 miles per day. I suffer from arthritis and some days this is a real chore for me, but necessary to keep my dog focused. Whenever possible, I take her on trails that allow/tolerate off leash hiking. If I'm in an area that seems safe and I see others allowing their dogs to run off leash I tend to let my dog loose also. She is well trained and has about 98% recall.	Walking off leash whenever possible.	Yes
9/25/2015 15:25:14	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	T.T. Minor Playground	Daily	off-leash	Yes	By providing a sanctioned off leash area that is in close proximity to Central district and that is safe. All of the sanctioned off leash dog parks that have enough space for a dog to run around and that is in a safe neighborhood are not easily accessible by public transportation. It takes roughly an hour according to Google Maps from my door to Magnuson park. I do not feel safe or enjoyable(due to the loud noise from highway traffic) at Plymouth. I do not feel safe at Regrade par. I have only heard of of negative experiences at Dr Jose Rizal such as finding used needles and condoms on the path.	98122	Female	25-34	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	5	5	I am a young professional that plans to stay in the central district as my family evolves from a couple with a dog to include children in the future.	My routine consists of taking my dog to the park and allowing him to run around and play with other dogs for an hour or more almost every day. This gives my dog an opportunity to roam free in a large field and socialize with other dogs. Both of these are not possible activities in a condo.	Not yet, he isn't good at leash walking. He likes to stop.	Yes
9/25/2015 15:29:15	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	The condition of the off-leash area is poor. Fences are broken, gates are hard to open and sometimes stick and/or pinch my fingers or don't close properly, ground is either muddy or dusty. The park is used from 6am to at least 9 pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The other park areas (kids play areas, walking paths, restrooms, and more), are far better maintained with and have more money spent on capital improvements, but get much less use by humans. All ages and races use the off-leash area and users deserve better space.	98106	Female	45-54	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	5	5	We usually visit 2x daily. Mornings we usually briskly walk and/or jog the loop trail. Evenings we either walk the loop trail or hang out in the main field and pup plays/runs/wrestles with other dogs while I visit with dog park friends and neighbors.	both walking and running off-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 15:29:16	3	No	Yes	No	Sadly I'd like to see more enforcement of the leash laws. Not only am I a non-dog owner, I have a certain fear of dogs--especially those that bark at me loudly, run toward me, jump on me, etc. I'm not good with animals, sad to say. So for instance at Magnuson where there is an OLA, and yet people take their pooches to the lakefront north of the public swim beach, and they're immediately off leash the second they're not visible from the road, I think a few tickets would be in order.	98105	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	3	I'm not available to participate in one of the groups, but I think holding them is a fantastic idea.

My volunteer work at lower Woodlands has been to transform Lower Woodland from a mud pit to a quality park that can be enjoyed all year round at very little cost to the Parks Dept.

We have both and want to have quality open spaces for us as a family, when walking the dog, and for our child to have to meet with friends, have fun, be safe. The amount of new open space created to accompany the density goals has not kept up in the slightest. The fights about density, traffic, etc., might be abate with the creation of diverse, small/medium/large, multi-use, well-maintained open spaces throughout the city.	98116	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	3	3	I or my spouse walk our dog at least twice, sometimes three, times a day. We live in a town-home so do not have access to a proper yard for our dog. It is essential to have access to good places to walk dogs, more areas that have off-leash is preferred, but dog friendly areas in general are welcome Also, I am training my dog to hunt truffles and the instructor often holds classes outdoors in Seattle area parks. I also have him practice in my nearby parks.	Walking on-leash	Yes	Thanks for working with residents of the city to make it a better place for all who live here.
9/25/2015 16:20:01	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park	Daily	Both	Yes	Have more amenities within the OLA. The bathrooms for westcrest are on the far side of the people park. Even though our stewards ask every year we are repeatedly told there is no budget for lights or bathrooms within the OLA. Make the trails through the green space adjacent to westcrest off leash. The only people I see using them are teenagers, the homeless and dog owners.	98106	Female	35-44	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	5	5	Walking on-leash	Yes
9/25/2015 16:25:49	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Magnolia Manor Park OLA	Several times a week	off-leash	Yes	It would be lovely to have more off-leash areas. Sometimes dogs just need to run with their own kind. They don't need to be huge and there are a number of parks that could easily accommodate an off-leash area. It would be as simple as putting a fence around a designated area.	98103	Female	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	3	4	I love our dog, love our neighborhood, and love Seattle. I believe in being a responsible dog owner and neighbor (I'm a lawyer and often my dog comes to the office with me). We can all share our neighborhoods in a way that make everyone happy, satisfied and safe and I would enjoy the opportunity to be part of the discussions that hopefully make that happen.	We take our dog to various off leash dog parks, to other parks (i.e., Discovery, Seward, Green Lake, Sunset etc.) on leash, and we also walk through our neighborhood. We like to mix it up so the questions in this questionnaire are rather limiting.	Walking on-leash	Yes

9/25/2015 17:14:28	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Meridian Playground	3-4 times a week	on-leash	No	Enforce the leash laws!!! By failing to enforce, Seattle Parks sends a message that people are entitled to have their dogs off-leash, at any time, in any park. I blame the Parks' (or the City's) almost complete failure to enforce for promoting the belligerence I encounter when an off-leash dog confronts my dog and I ask the owner to leash their pet.	98105	Female	55-64	Multiple races	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	1	I am a lawyer. I believe that by permitting widespread violation of the leash law, the City fosters a belligerent contempt both for the law and for those who request its enforcement. This creates discord in our community. I think an honest repeal of the leash law would be better than the current situation. Then people would be on notice of the actual de facto situation: There is virtually no penalty for having your dog off leash unless the dog actually harms someone, and even then you can probably get away.	We walk, on leash, from home to Meridian Park. We enter the park, watching out for the frequent off-leash dogs who may confront my on-leash dog. If all is clear, we walk the perimeter of the park, again watching for and avoiding off-leash dogs. More often than not, loose dogs are monopolizing large areas of the park. I once was even invited to a daily off-leash "meetup" from about 7-9am in the park. Sometimes we have to leave the park because of uncontrolled off-leash dogs. If that happens, we try walking to Wallingford Park or Green Lake Park or Gasworks Park, but the same situation often occurs, especially at Wallingford Park in the early evening. The park situation for my law abdiding dog and I is absolutely miserable. We are driven off by illegal loose dogs about 1/3 of the time we try to use a park. One time I was actually assaulted by a woman who tried to steal my cell phone when I was about to call animal control.	racewalking on leash	Yes	Can I bring my (leashed) dog?
9/25/2015 17:16:09	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Woodland Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	There is plenty of green space that could be more useful as OLA.

9/25/2015 17:25:50	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	I really feel that in addition to our beautiful big off leash parks, we need small off leash areas in all neighborhoods, with the idea that people will be able to walk to them, and to meet their neighbors.	98108	Female	35-44	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	4	4	I walk the dog onleash twice a day in my neighborhood, south park.

Yes	I would LOVE to have access to real hiking trails where I could take my dog (as opposed to faux hike trails at Northacres). Golden Gardens and the dog park near the Zoo are often muddy or really dirty, not that pleasant to be at. I would also VERY STRONGLY like to suggest that dog pack walkers only be able to use the off leash parks at certtain times of the day, which the rest of us can avoid. It completely brings down the quality of my dog's time at a park when there are twenty dogs or more in the park and only 2 humans looking after them. This is a common occurence at Magnusson, and Golden Gardens especially. They rarely are able to get all the poop, the dogs are not well under control, the pack dogs fill up the water area at Magnusson and it's hard for individual dogs and parents to get space at the water. In my experience, bad behaviour by dogs brought in by walkers, are fairly common occurrences. This makes it tough on my dog and others who come with their own one or two fur kids who they take complete responsibility for and can manage in the case of any issues. The dog walker packs crowding up the parks is my biggest beef of all and could be solved if dog walkers are only allowed at certain times of day, and would risk tickets if they violate that. I'd like to know I could use a park on the same terms as all the other people- one person for one dog mostly, or two at the most (but the two are both the pets of the human with them).	98117	Female	55-64	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	5	5	I love dogs. I take a lot of responsibility for my dog's behaviour when out in the world. I am a music teacher who works 3-8 PM weekdays. I'm articulate and can speak well for myself and others.	I walk my dog every day, sometimes a walk/jog. I throw a ball for her in the backyard that she chases several times a day. We go to Northacres off leash dog park a few times a month. I walk with her in Carkeek a couple times a week. Different trails and I try to go at times when there are few people around so if I let her off leash for a few minutes to splash in the streams, she won't upset anyone. We go to Magnusson a few times a month and Marymoor maybe once a month.	Walking on-leash	Yes	Nope. I can drive myself just fine. :-)

9/25/2015 19:45:49	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Schmitz Preserve Park	2-3 times per week	on-leash	Yes	In general, the city absolutely needs more off-leash areas of all sizes, styles, and locations. West Seattle is particularly lacking (looking at a map of OLA locations makes that clear...). One idea is a vacant lot recently purchased by Seattle Parks, located at the corner of SW Charlestown St and 48th Ave SW, which may be a great spot for an OLA for a number of reasons.	98116	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	3	3	I value our city's parks for many reasons, not just for exercising my dogs. I understand there are many different types of people that use our parks. However, I am a strong advocate for additional OLAs in our city. I currently am a member of COLA and used to be involved with the group including being the steward for the Woodland Park OLA.	I leave my house on foot with my dogs on-leash, enter the park on one end, walk the trails (on-leash), and leave the park at another end then walk back to my house.	Walking on-leash	Yes

We pick up AT LEAST our dogs' leavings and usually pay it forward a bit (to account for any stealth poops left by ours). I'm hyper vigilant about watching for other leashed/unleashed dogs, children, and folks who look like they might not be comfortable around off-leash dogs, and control our dogs accordingly.

9/25/2015 21:21:18	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Carkeek Park	Weekly	on-leash	No	Make sure people who want to keep their dogs off-leash use the numerous off-leash parks that have been set aside for them. But strictly enforce the law in those parks (and sections of parks) that are not off-leash. It is unfair that people who want to be in an on-leash park have no choice because the regulations are not enforced (and selfish of the off-leash dog owners who want all the parks, not just those set aside for them). We need the example of animal control officers or police handing out fines to send the message that leash laws will be enforced, much as highway patrol ticketing speeders sends a message to other drivers. Without visible enforcement the laws are meaningless and do not protect those who choose to abide by them.	98117	Male	55-64	White	English	Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	1	2	I am civically active, support parks levies, and want to be able to enjoy city parks with my dog, where I know my need for an on-leash setting will be respected by others (or enforced by laws if people chose not to obey the law). I am willing to fund more off-leash parks (though I will not personally use them), as I know off-leash settings are important to many people.	Like to take walks with my dog on the Carkeek Park trail. In fact, proximity to Carkeek Park was one of the main reasons I decided to purchase my house in Greenwood/Crown Hill in 2008. However, the number of people who chose to disregard leash laws in Carkeek Park is the reason I cannot use it as often as I like, because my dog gets very agitated by off-leash dogs when she is on-leash. As a result, I more typically walk her on the street. It is so inconsiderate of people to use Carkeek as unofficial off-leash when there are designated off-leash parks that have been set up for their exclusive use. I have complained to animal control several times but was told there are not enough officers to enforce the rules.	Walking on-leash	No	No special accommodations required

9/25/2015 22:47:34	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Woodland Park	Daily	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	Open some lightly used larger areas of the larger parks to off-leash dogs. No need for fences. A sign designating areas for off-leash use will let people know that they should leash up their dogs when leaving the area. See the Portland model for these kind of off-leash areas. I believe that the current fenced off-leash areas have largely become exercise yards for commercial dog sitters. They bring multiple dogs and since they are fenced, they don't have to worry about the out-of-control dogs running off. Make these commercial enterprises pay for use and upkeep or get their own non-public off-leash exercise areas.	98103	Male	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	5	5	Our dog loves to chase a ball both on the ground and in the water. It would be great to have access to more than one lake where he could swim legally and also to be able to play with him in the park without having to have him on a leash. Almost all of the current off-leash areas are so small the get trashed and have no live grass or other vegetation on the ground. The ball and dog quickly get muddy and it's no fun to have to hose the dog down after every outing.	Walking off-leash	He's generally more interested in his ball than other dogs	I may be out of town for these meeting times but will quickly let you know if I cannot attend.

I enjoy taking her for an off-leash walk at Magnuson Park's dog park, but it is so far away. The dog park near my home has too much gravel, so my dog doesn't like it. (She's a small dog.) Sometimes I will let her run off leash in the regular park by my house if no one else is around.	Walking on-leash	No

Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	This city has such a commitment to parks and outdoor areas, but for those of us who like to be outdoors with our dogs, opportunities are limited. I would love to see not only places to exercise dogs (like small off leash areas), but places to serious RECREATE with dogs. Magnusen comes close, but I can imagine many other parks (Discovery, Ravenna) that would be heavenly for dogs and dog-people alike. I previously lived in Charlottesville, VA where there were a number of trails that were designated off leash on specifics days (e.g. Tues/Thurs 1-8pm) so those with dogs could utilize the trails, and those who didn't want to encounter off leash dogs would know to avoid those times. Helped maximize opportunities for all stakeholders. Perhaps something to consider? Thank you for undertaking this process!	98109	Female	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	I like to do a brisk walk -- Magnusen OFA has a long enough (and wide enough) trail for people to be mobile as well as the dogs. There are few other places where dogs can be off leash and I can exercise. Trails (e.g. Discovery Park) must be on-leash. OLA are too small (or limited in layout for people to exercise too. Mostly, I walk my dog in the neighborhood and exercise at other times, though both of us would benefit from more places where we can both be mobile at the same time!	Walking off-leash	Yes

We were raised in a country where dogs are mostly feral, street animals that people are scared of and stay away from. I have seen and lived among people with attitudes on both extremes of the spectrum. We are now very happy dog owners and well connected with other dog owners in the neighborhood. As we're expecting our first baby in November, we are even more keen to see our child grow up in a world where dogs and humans can co-exist in a more healthy and happy way than what we sometimes see in today's urban settings.

I have a reactive dog, so I understand the need for leash laws in general parks. I would like to see more off leash areas so dogs are not overcrowded, as well as leash laws being strongly enforced in other parks. We need more spaces for dogs, as there are more dogs than kids in our city, and the adults that have dogs need recreational spaces to spend time in as well.	I walk my dog around the open space at Bittler Lake, since it is across from my apartment complex. We walk in the early morning and late evening. If no other dogs are around, I might let her run in the lower field off leash. However, mostly we stay on leash and walk, as she is reactive when other dogs get too close, and other dog owners are mean when she is scared.	Walking on-leash	No

9/26/2015 13:09:54	3	No	Yes	No	Although I don't have a dog in the household, I walk a dog daily often on a park edge and also more into parks a few weeks of the year when caring for the dog at my home. The main thing is to enforce leash law which means increasing perception of risk of citation among people who are now scofflaws. In part that requires presence of more people with authority to enforce it, but also means using them effectively. Effective use means having them out at unpredictable times instead of the present banker's hours. It also means getting them out of their truck and patrolling on bikes or foot in larger parks. And it also means patrolling based on intelligence based on input from park staff and volunteers such as Green Seattle Forest Stewards. Another part in this is changing the present social acceptability. That will take education partly in schools to influence next generation and have the kids inform parents and other adults. It also involves informing the public of the impacts and reasons such as that on wearing vegetation, impact on wildlife (nesting, stress, flight, elmination, predation), impact on health (from droppings and risk of bites etc. and psychological affect on folks fearing or upset), and impact on other dogs (disease, fights, stress etc. in some cases) There is also a problem in that many who obtain dogs don't understand responsibility for care including giving walks etc. and thus we get people who don't really walk their dogs but just take them someplace and then let them run free. Parks also needs to consider some preblems with existing off leash areas which deter owners from use. Among those are commercial dog walkers bringing or owners bringing more dogs than they can control, aggressive dogs, and disease. In the ideal world it would also be best to ban pit bulls after those that now exist pass on. Some may be real sweethearts, but don't add more. If one looks most of the dogs no one wants at the pound are partly or mostly pit bull confirming they are problematic.	98115	Male	65+	Multiple races	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	2	3	I'm part of the Magnuson Park Advisory Committee,have done much ecological restoration at Magnuson as a Green Seattle Forest Steward and part of the Magnuson Environmental Stewardship Alliance leadership.

I've lived in Seattle (Greenlake) since 2003. Became a dog owner in 2014 after owning cats for many years. My dog is a rescue from a reservation in Oregon that we found at a gas station on our way to Bend. She is 60 pounds of pure muscle and love and needs to run a lot (but not in the slow way I run!).	We run through the woods. She loves to run the hills, open fields, forest areas. There is so much stimulus and wide open areas in this park. And there are very little people that use it, especially in the morning. My dog does not enjoy the Off-Leash Dog Park at Woodland. There are too many dogs in a small area and they can sometimes be aggressive and bark incessantly. It is also very small compared to Magnuson and Marymoor Parks. Also, running on leash around Greenlake is just not enough for her. She really needs to sprint and that is not something I can do with her while on a leash.	Running off-leash	Yes

I think its hard for working parents to make time for their kids and their dogs and if parks, like TT Minor or Madrona that also have playgrounds it would be nice to have access to dog waste bags, have water bowls at the fountains etc.	98122	Female	45-54	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	5	5	I throw the ball for my dog, my housemate and I play with my dog while his kids play on the play equipment and the kids sometimes throw the ball for my dog.

9/28/2015 0:02:35	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	No	Areas we could legally run trails with our dogs off leash would be wonderful! I would love to see more water access dog beaches. I like the idea of shared use parks, like Richmond Beach- whether it is an OLA certain times of the year, certain times of day, etc.	98103	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	I visit many different Seattle parks- OLAs and regular parks- many times each week. I have a professional dog walking business so I use Seattle parks for business and personal use a lot.	At magnuson specifically, we exercise and socialize in the OLA. But another favorite way to spend time with my dogs is to run trails, generally off leash, at parks like Carkeek & Hamlin.	Yes, all 4 of the above	Yes
9/28/2015 7:12:17	5	No	Yes	Yes	No	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Monthly	off-leash	Yes	Having an off-leash area within walking distance (10 minutes at a brisk walk or light run) from home.	98115	Male	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	4	5	Don't exercise with the dog in that park -- too far from home, so we drive.	Running on-leash	Could basically care less about anything other than a frisbee
9/28/2015 8:16:43	2	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Westcrest Park OLA	Monthly	off-leash	No	Off leash dog parks could be a little more plentiful.	98116	Male	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	1	3	The dog's primary exercise is run with either me or my wife on lease on sidewalks/streets.	Running on-leash	Yes
9/28/2015 9:00:20	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Green Lake Park	Daily	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	More poop-bag stations.	98115	Male	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	2	3	Early morning hours or late evening hours provide a time in the park when there are much fewer visitors. I use this time for off-leash exercise. We run sprints together. During normal hours there are just too many people and dogs around so we walk 3+ miles on leash.	Walking on-leash	Yes
9/28/2015 9:04:26	3	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Little Brook Park	Daily	on-leash	Yes	There are many small parks (ie the one I visit, Little Brook) that have large amounts of dog owners that go to it, and it would be great to have poop-bag stations installed in places like that. Understanding the populations of various parks would be good. I'm also frustrated by our trail being blocked, and things like dogs not being allowed on all beaches or near play areas, which is almost impossible given having kids and a dog go hand in hand. Being 'family friendly' means including my pet. Seeing more parks with designated small dog areas would be great too, and since my dog has major issues with his paws, some ground surfaces such as gravel and hard wood chips, make walkways incredible painful for my senior dog to walk on at dog parks. I come from the UK, where it is far more acceptable to see your dog with you in many places, and considering the amount of dogs in this city, I think if the Seattle Park and Rec can support us better in a similar manner, we can make great strides all around for responsible dog ownership.	98125	Female	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	2	3	I'm a stay at home mom, I volunteer at a cat rescue (I do their photography), and used to work as a veterinary assistant. I'm originally from England but have lived in Seattle for 21 years now (I love this city), and I have 2 cats and a dog. I'm a passionate animal-lover and photographer, but I also have MS, plus I have a 7 year old boy. We love going to parks; they play a huge role in our lives.	I currently have Little Brook Park right across the street from us for daily trips to a green park area for my dog, and there are many dogs that come there to socialize with. The trail around is blocked right now because of trees that fell during the storm. We also go to Magnuson for our long walks with the dog, where he gets the most exercise. We also like to walk around agree lake when we can but my dog's stamina has decreased as he has for older (and I have MS).	Walking on-leash	Yes	Being on the North end and without a car, meetings accessible by bus are easiest. Magnuson is the most preferable because I don't have to deal with childcare, as my son is in school.
9/28/2015 9:58:18	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Kinnear Park	Daily	off-leash	Yes	Well, for one, Lower Kinnear Park's off-leash area is not a good choice for dog walkers. It's small, dark and isolated so doesn't feel safe to me, let alone my wife. Additionally, there is no water available there so it's not a place I want my dog to play because he gets thirsty. Instead of forcing an off-leash area into an isolated and cramped spot such as that one, I'd prefer that one be created or allowed where people already tend to gather with their dogs, such as in Upper Kinnear. Even better would be to follow the model I've seen in multiple cities in Canada (such as Victoria, BC but also others further East) where off-leash areas are unfenced and used by the general population. At the same time, it is made clear to all users that dogs are allowed to be off leash as long as they are under control and safe. In other words, put the burden of safety and responsibility on dog owners but allow us the freedom to let our dogs off leash where it is fun, safe and comfortable for us all.	98119	Male	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	We usually go to Upper Kinnear Park where I let my dog off leash to run around a bit and also to stroll along the path that circumnavigates the park. Sometimes (once a week or so) we head down the stairs at the South end of the park and walk down the trail in Lower Kinnear Park to the off-leash area.	Walking on-leash	Yes	Thank you.
9/28/2015 10:04:52	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Northacres Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	There are never too many off leash areas. Enforcing a human/dog ratio in the park would be pretty great. For instance, no 1 person can have more than 2 or 3 dogs in the park at one time. Lots of professional dog walkers and sitters seems to use the OLA's (especially Magnuson) and I find that to be a potentially dangerous situation.	98133	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	4	We go to an off-leash area for at least an hour 3 or 4 times a week. The rest of the times we go hiking in state parks (on-leash).	Walking off-leash	Yes
9/28/2015 10:44:57	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Matthews Beach Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Supporting and creating rules at dog parks relating to children interacting with dogs at dog parks, educating children and parents on appropriate behavior at dog parks, must spay and neuter dogs that come to the dog park and educating dog owners on dog behavior and appropriate behavior at parks.	98177	Female	45-54	White	English	Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	2	1	I am an advocate for dog rescue, dog training and socializing. I love being a part of the Seattle Dog Parks and being involved in the dog communities.	I walk my dog on-leash on the days I don't go to the off-leash dog park, Magnuson Dog Park (part of Matthews Beach park area).	Walking on-leash	Yes
9/28/2015 12:37:17	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	several times a week	off-leash	Yes	I wish there were more large off-leash parks, and more importantly, good water access for dogs to play and swim in. We were recently in Vancouver at Spanish Banks where there are acres of beach and park for pups and their owners to play on, guilt free, off-leash. I fail to understand why such a thing works so beautifully in Vancouver but isn't possible here where dogs are basically prohibited from beaches!	98126	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	I'm able to relax and walk more quickly with my dogs off-leash...we love Westcrest off leash park because it's big enough that both the dogs and I can really stretch our legs.	both on and off leash	Yes
9/28/2015 12:50:49	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Prohibit children from the OLAs. Or at least require that children remain in close contact with their adult guardian. Prohibit strollers, bicycles, skateboards. Devise a serious penalty for off-leash dogs on park land outside of OLAs. Enforce the penalty.	98103	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	1	3	I walk with my hound-mix off-leash at Magnuson OLA. We walk the entire acreage, except for the beach. I avoid the beach because my dog wants to swim around the fence. My dog romps and chases with willing dogs, as we encounter them. My dog loves to greet people and get attention. I don't allow her to interact with children in the OLA. She is not dangerous, but I don't want her to get in the habit of initiating contact with children. Encounters between any dog and an unknown child should be closely supervised.	Walking on-leash	Yes
9/28/2015 13:42:24	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Blue Dog Pond	Weekly	off-leash	No	more small dog parks.

9/28/2015 15:32:15	2	Yes	Yes	No	Open more off-leash parks! We live in a dense urban neighborhood where most people live in apartments or have miniscule yards. I do understand that dogs need space to run and play. But so do kids! And many kids I know (including mine) are scared of dogs. Mine is scared because he was knocked over by an off-leash dog at TT Minor playground when he was 2. If owners had more legal options to exercise their dogs then kids would be free to play safely on fields and playgrounds.	98122	Female	45-54	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	1	2

We created a rule that states un spayed females are not allowed but still allow unaltered males. Who in general create more problems.	98103	Female	35-44	American Indian or Alaska Native	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	5	4	I own a business walking dogs and i am currently working on a degree in Canine Behaviors	I take my dog Monday - Friday for about 90 minutes.

9/29/2015 9:11:40	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Magnolia Manor Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	More OLA's would be good, especially where they are smaller, to lessen the environmental impact of each individual park. Magnolia Manor gets a lot of use ever since it opened, and it may be too much for nearby apartment building neighbors. More pickup bag stations around in parks and OLA's. I am always sad to see other dog owners not picking up after their dogs. Maybe an educational program in conjunction with Boy Scouts or something where we could get kids involved.	98199	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	2	Walking my dog on leash in my Magnolia neighborhood, also at Myrtle Edwards, Discovery Park, many Seattle areas. Also I take him to OffLeash areas as often as possible -- most often to my nearby Magnolia Manor OLA, but also to North Acres, Westcrest, and Magnuson.	Walking on-leash	Yes
9/29/2015 13:08:49	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lynn Street Mini Park	Weekly	off-leash, swimming	Yes	I would love to be able to exercise with my dog, rather than having to exercise him, and then myself. I have a large-breed dog, so that would generally require dirt trails that we could run on together, preferably off-leash as he is under voice command. It would be great if more parks allowed large, grassy spaces for dogs to run. Small, dirt parks are unappealing to visit (they are generally dirty and smelly), overcrowded, and they don't give large-breeds enough space to run.	98122	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	My boyfriend and I share 2 large-breed Labradors.	Our dogs love to swim and run, and play with other dogs. We have found places to do this in our Eastlake neighborhood which are not entirely condoned, but does not seem to bother any of the neighbors, and in fact many neighborhood dog owners bring their pets there to exercise together. There seems to be a mutual understanding and respect for the parks that everyone picks up after their dogs, and they don't disrupt the families which used the playground equipment, and the dogs are supervised and not allowed to dig or disrupt the grass. If there are other users who are also using the park (kayakers, softball teams, families) and a dog would seem to be disruptive, we change our plans and take them elsewhere.	Running off-leash	Yes
9/29/2015 13:28:33	3	No	Yes	No	Restrict dogs to a designated area away from everything else.	98177	Male	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	1	2
9/29/2015 16:37:26	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	T.T. Minor Playground	Daily	off-leash	Yes	By NOT ticketing owners of well behaved dogs. My dog is 11, walks slowly and loves everything. I shouldn't be punished by walking her off leash when I know she wouldn't even chase a squirrel.	98122	Male	25-34	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	5	5	My dog walks alongside my bike for 5-8 block in the morning, hops in her trailer for the downhill ride to work. I take her to the PIllars or Cal Anderson for my lunch for ~1 hour. After work we go to TT Minor where she is able to play with other dogs and I can catch up with people who have become friends. In the evening I talk her for a 2-6 block walk before bed.	Walking off-leash	Yes	Just advanced notice
9/29/2015 17:52:14	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Duwamish Waterway Park	Daily	off-leash	Yes	More parks would be fantastic. I understand that there was a temporary off-leash park here in South Park before I bought my house here and I would be so so happy if we got one back. Mostly though, the biggest help would be more garbage cans so that I don't have to carry my dog poop for miles at a time. Bus stops and parks don't always have garbage receptacles and its frustrating. Nobody want me to put my dog pooh in their household cans and I don't want to carry smelly poop for over a mile.	98108	Female	35-44	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	5	5	Every morning I walk my dog to the coffee shop and then to the The Duwamish Waterways Park or the Sout Park Community Center where I let him runs nd play for 10-15 minutes or so (depends on the time). Then in the afternoon (before work) I take him on another 45 minutes to an hour walk at the South Park Meadow or the Farm where we can play fetch so he can get good exercise. Sometimes I switch it up and we jog at the Community center on-leash (but not if lots of people are there) or I will take him to Westcrest off-leash on my days off for some real full throttle play. I try to be a good pet owner, but it is hard when there aren't many choices and sometimes things get in the way, but mostly he is my priority.	Walking on-leash	Most of the time, yes. But he has his days where he doesn't (don't we all).

At Woodland park, he runs around and sometimes plays with other dogs. We occasionally go running on the Burke Gilman, where he is on leash	A little of both	Yes
9/29/2015 20:11:12	2	No	Yes	No	Enforce the rules for off leash dogs. I walk and bird in Magnuson Park every week day and every day there are dogs off-leash. Without enforcement, all the signs in the park do nothing.	98115	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	1

9/30/2015 14:34:45	3	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park	Daily	off-leash	Yes	Inside the dog park isn't a great place for humans to run (since most everyone isn't running). I've wondered if a designated off-leash track/trail (that is fenced) might be enjoyable. Additional water access would be a big improvement. Additional vegetated space would also be great. Generally I'm very happy with the management maintenance of the parks but some infrastructure maintenance (like latches, hoses) sometimes lags. Cold season hose water could be helpful.	98115	Male	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	4	4	My 2 dogs and I walk through the park. In the summertime, I throw balls into the water and my dogs the retrieve balls. In other seasons, they spend less time in the water but enjoy fetching balls, socializing, and frolicking. I would like to run with my dogs more. When/if I'm in the habit of running, we all do a decent job of running on-leash outside of the dog park.	Walking off-leash	Yes
9/30/2015 16:13:14	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Discovery Park	Daily	on-leash	Yes	More signs asking people to please obey the leash law and PLEASE at least clean up after their pets. Put stations with poop bags on major grails like a lot of parks already do. Increase enforcement of leash laws.	98117	Male	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	5	I do restoration of the native habitat for the last 18 years. I am very sympathetic to dog owners and see many who even if their dog is off leash are behaving very responsibly. We just need to raise awareness that off leash dogs make it very hard for the creatures to take advantage of the new habitat we are creating and that the major cause of social trails is really dogs not people People tend to stay on obvious trails but dogs go everywhere and when their owners follow, a new social trail is born and habitat for birds is sub-divided yet again.	We walk the same route most days ending with a check of the area I have been restoring for the last 18 years.	Walking on-leash	Yes	I am able to get there just fine. Please include me.
9/30/2015 18:06:49	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Blue Dog Pond	Daily	off-leash	Yes	The most helpful thing to me personally would be to create an off leash area near my home, like the TT Minor playfield. It is located at 17th and Union, and more than a convenience to me personally, it had become a wonderful community of dogs and owners who knew each other, and the dogs were their own "pack". Not having this park, or a place anywhere near this location, the community feels broken. We humans are trying to re-connect, but our dogs miss each other and we can tell when we do run into one another other places.	98122	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	5	5	We used to walk to a playfield near our home (TT Minor playfield). But recently we were informed this is not a legal place to have dogs. Now we have to drive or take the bus to the next closest place- The Blue Dog Park- in order to access the freedom to exercise the dog off leash. Although this is a wonderful park, it is several miles away from where we live and the travel time is a hardship sometimes.	Walking on-leash	Yes

Minor Playground	Daily	off-leash	Yes	We've had our park raided by animal control 2 weeks in a row handing out tickets in a fenced in park where people gather at all times of the day. This needs to stop! There wasn't a problem until the city started showing up.	98122	Male	35-44	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	5	5	I walk my dog to TT Minor every day that I can. It's my beagle's favorite part of the day. I look forward to talking to my neighbors while our dogs run around. We have a Facebook page where we can share pictures and stories. It's a true community meeting place.	Walking on-leash	Yes	I'm active in making TT Minor an off leash area. Obviously not when children are in school but after 4pm when school is out, the working people of the community would like to use the only open space within a mile or two radius. It's a community gem and we treat it as such. We police our own and there are no problems. We just don't want tickets for letting our dogs get exercise.
9/30/2015 19:51:52	1	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Golden Gardens Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	I'd like a park with more grass and more square feet. All of the off leash parks, especially in the evening after work, are so incredibly cramped that it upsets the dogs and makes it impossible to do anything with your dog.	98107	Male	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	1	3	My dog is obsessed with balls and all he wants to do is get a ball and bring it back to me.	Walking on-leash	No
9/30/2015 20:39:08	3	No	Yes	No	Hello. I own a dog walking company and I use Magnuson off-leash dog park for my business. I have been working with dogs for more than 20 years and I've apprenticed with some of the world's best + reinforcement dog trainers. Seattle Parks and Recreation could support me by continuing to allow me access to Magnuson dog park. I limit the # of dogs in my group to 8 per group. I have many loyal clients who depend on me while they are working M-F to provide their dog with kind, responsible, outdoor activities. Safety is always my top priority and I do not bring aggressive dogs to the park! I have never had a human or dog injured while in my care at Magnuson, and I've been using the park for more than 10 years. I feel like it's vital to be courteous to park patrons when bringing my group through the park. I often receive supportive feedback from patrons in terms of just how well-behaved my dogs are which they appreciate! I believe that Magnuson can easily support dog walking businesses, ones that are run in a professional, truly safe and responsible manner. Safety and dog saaviness is key to this continuing to work smoothly!	98125	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	5	5	I absolutely LOVE working with dogs and feel so grateful for the continued support by Parks and Recreation to have access to an off-leash dog park. My off-leash adventures are the soul of my business, and I support so many families who seek an alternative to a doggie daycare. This is my passion, this is my livelihood. I take great pride in the work that I do with my doggie clients and hope to continue this work as Parks moves forward in improving dog parks in the Seattle area. thank you!
9/30/2015 21:07:51	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Carkeek Park	Monthly	on-leash	Yes	Either have designated times (morning and evening) as is done in some places in California or have people obtain permits for off-leash activity (nature of dog checked /verified by someone) as is done in Boulder, CO. The alternative is a LARGE fenced off-leash area - Carkeek is big enough! Most around our area are too small (eg. Golden Gardens, Woodland Park).... so we'll end up driving all the way to Magnuson or over the other side of Lake Washington.	98177	Male	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	Walking on-leash	Yes
10/1/2015 10:02:32	1	No	Yes	Yes	No	Blue Dog Pond	We used to visit weekly, but saw a bad fight and haven't gone back	off-leash	Yes	I saw a forum that mentioned a reactive dog off-leash area. My current dog is reactive on-leash but would be great in a small fenced area where we could play and practice training. This would be a wonderful way for reactive dog owners to be engaged in the community, as well as making our dog parks a MUCH safer place to take non-reactive dogs. We've seen some bad dog fights break out from owners uneducated about body language. It puts all dogs in the park over threshold and honestly, it's pretty scary! I'd love to be involved more in educational efforts.	98116	Female	25-34	Black or African American	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	2	2	I'm incredibly interested in education efforts in our parks - we need more opportunities to support owners and set dogs and owners up for success. I think the biggest reason why people don't go is because of that they hear happens at dog parks. If we can address those things, more people will be likely to be involved in the community. Camp Long would be easiest for me to get to from west seattle.	When we did go to the dog park, our dog likes to play chasing games, or sniff around. For my previous dog, we would go to Golden Gardens and my dog would engage in safe and positive play with other dogs.	Nose work, puzzle games, alternative methods of stimulation	Off-leash only
10/1/2015 13:02:07	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Monthly	off-leash	Yes	More off leash trails (like at Westcrest). My dog likes to walk/run off leash but not necessarily play with other dogs.	98144	Female	25-34	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	1	4	My dog prefers walking off leash and also running off leash.	Walking off-leash	sometimes
10/1/2015 14:18:36	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	Off leash areas large enough to prevent aggression issues. BEACH ACCESS. Places like Myrtle Edwards park need an off leash section and beach access. Discovery park needs some off leash trails or areas.	98109	Female	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	3	5	Walking through the park walking trails or wandering the OLA wherever my dog wants to go.	Both on and off leash walks/hikes	Yes	the two evening options are best but i could probably make the morning one work if needed
10/1/2015 19:02:34	5	No	Yes	No	There is no enforcement, as far as I have seen, of off-leash dogs in parks that are not off-leash areas. In particular, Meridian Playfield has many dogs regularly running off-leash in a park that is used daily by many children. Some dog owners are friendly and considerate, others are not. The rules should be enforced.	98103	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	2	3	I'm a former large dog owner and believe strongly that dogs in the city should be under the control of their owners at all times.
10/1/2015 19:41:54	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	I live in Queen Anne so my only local option is the Kinnear park for a designated only off leash area. There is no drinking or washing station there as well as no parking so I usually carry water if I go. Improving or expanding that little area would be helpful and possibly keep people from using all the other parks around the top of Queen Anne Hill.	98119	Male	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	4	I am a professional dog walker so I am there with my pack every day. However, I also go to the park on my days off with my personal dog.	Running off-leash	Yes	If I don't get selected is there a way to make meeting itinerary public so that I can at least have access to the points of discussion?
10/1/2015 21:14:35	5	No	Yes	No	My dog passed away, but I do off-leash adventures for dogs at Magnuson. I have been there working since 2003. I know almost all of the dog walkers and regulars there, it's important to me, my pack and their humans.	98108	Female	35-44	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse, Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	5	5

I take my pack, as well as my personal dog, to off leash parks, mainly Magnuson, on an almost daily basis.	All of the above	Yes
10/1/2015 22:05:06	4	Yes	Yes	No	Properly enforce off-leash rules and educate the public about the need to leash dogs in parks that mandate it	98199	Male	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	3	Member of Discovery Park Advisory Council, cultural anthropologist specializing in environmental education
10/2/2015 6:46:36	4	No	Yes	Yes	No	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	No	We need more off leash dog parks. Most cities our size have lots more space designated for them. And the tiny ones like the one in Queen Anne are too small.	98119	Male	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	3	4	Walking on-leash	Yes
10/2/2015 8:51:55	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Not Applicable	Daily	off-leash	No	Provide more natural trails rather than concrete trails. Dirty and grassy grounds are more paw-friendly then pabbles and concrete, especially in the summer.	98125	Female	25-34	Asian	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	5	5	Daily walks, 2-3 times a day. Walk from home to nearby trail which leads into a big grassy field. It's the "unofficial" off-leash dog-walking place in the neighborhood. We walk all the way to the end of the grassy field then back the same trail to home. Round trip takes about 20 min.	Walking on-leash	Sometimes depending on if she knows them already
10/2/2015 10:26:19	3	No	Yes	No	I don't have a dog at the moment, but only because I live in an apt that doesn't allow them. That will change.	98103	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	3	3	I do believe everyone has personal responsibility to be a respectful owner: of the environment, of their dog as a dog (not an anthropomorphized dog), of the other citizens in the city.
10/2/2015 11:14:49	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Green Lake Park	Daily	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	Improve the dog park at Golden Gardens so it's not all dust when dry and mud when wet. We started going to Greenlake more because the dog park is maintained way better there.	98117	Female	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	My dog and I go to both Greenlake (dog park and the lake) for exercise nearly every day. We also go to the dog park and run trails at the Golden Gardens park regularly.	Walking on-leash	Yes
10/2/2015 11:27:45	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Woodland Park	Weekly	Mostly walks on-leash, off leash in off-leash areas	Yes	More off-leash areas, particularly those that would allow me to run on trails with my dog. Off-leash parks are great, but they are small and enclosed, not great for long runs.	98103	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	3	4	My preferred routine is to take my dog on a trail run, off leash. This is not really an option in Seattle. Off-leash parks don't have trails. Trails are not off-leash. I walk my dog 2-3 times daily on leash, and take her to off-leash areas at least once per week. I follow the leash laws because I understand that many folks are afraid of dogs and I don't want to upset them (even though my dog is a sweety, they don't know that).	Running off-leash	Yes
10/2/2015 15:24:27	5	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Woodland Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	I'd love a closer OLA	98103	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	5	5	I'm a runner and I'm very active but im also concerned for my safety when it's dark; having a closer OLA will allow me to give my dog consistent exercise and social contact all year round.	I walk from Wallingford to the OLA which is 2 miles roundtrip; but as the days get shorter, it's harder for us to go.	Walking on-leash	Yes
10/2/2015 21:13:33	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Seward Park	Weekly	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	I'd like to have water access for my dogs in south Seattle (Rainier Valley and West Seattle). There are so many miles of shoreline in the city between Lake Washington and Puget Sound, but the nearest legal off-leash dog areas with water access are 30-45 minutes away in North Seattle and Redmond.	98118	Female	25-34	Multiple races	English	Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	3	3	We like to hike with both our dogs on the trails in Seward Park, perhaps once per week, and often let them off-leash to fetch and swim (very far from the public swimming beaches, of course).	Walking on-leash	One dog yes, the other dog no
10/2/2015 22:28:34	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Mount Baker Boulevard	Daily	on-leash	Yes	Many of the dog parks (like Genesee) get very dusty in the summer and muddy when it rains. It would be nice to see more dog parks with sand or bark. I would also like more bathrooms near the dog parks.	98144	Female	25-34	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	5	4	My dog is a three-year-old labradoodle. We have a dog walker who walks our dog during the week.	Sometimes we take our dog off leash at non-off leash parks that have water access like Discovery Park and Martha Washington. We enjoy having a peaceful and fun lunch at at the beach with our dog.	Walking on-leash	Yes
10/3/2015 9:45:01	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Not Applicable	magnuson park daily	off-leash	Yes	More off leash parks so dog owners have more options	98115	Male	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	3	3	I am a professional dogwalker in the business for 15 years	run swim and play ball and frisbee	swimming	Yes
10/3/2015 10:08:11	2	No	Yes	No	1. Better enforcement of existing restrictions on dogs (leash law, exclusion of dogs from beaches, etc.). I see these laws violated on a regular basis with seemingly little effort to enforce them. 2. For every off-leash area, set aside at least an equal amount of park space where dogs are not allowed, for the enjoyment of citizens (and other flora and fauna) who do not want contact with dogs. Increasingly, dogs seem to be everywhere in Seattle (including grocery stores and restaurants), so it would be great to have more dog-free space.	98125	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	1	2
10/3/2015 15:00:56	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Woodland Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	1) Add more OLAs 2) Restrict children in OLAs 3) More OLAs with trails (like Northacres)	98125	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	1	4	My dogs all require different types of exercise. 2 do leashed walks and 2 go to off leash parks daily	All types of above at different times	Yes
10/4/2015 1:29:37	5	No	Yes	No	Provide a dog off-leash area for every neighborhood.	98119	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	I spend "countless" hours cleaning trash from parks-all around Seattle-and volunteer many hours to further enhance Seattle's parks .	Unfortunately my travel plans allow me to be available for only the session on Tuesday, Oct.27th. I'd really like to participate in a group.
10/4/2015 10:59:10	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Daily	on-leash	Yes	Assist in the process of enforcing leash laws. SPAR could easily collaborate with the city of Seattle and generate funds directly for SPAR by allowing parks employees to give citations and warnings.	98136	Female	45-54	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	2	2	I have lived in my current neighborhood over 25 years.	I live in Fauntleroy and walk my dog daily throughout Lincoln Park as well as Fauntleroy Park.	Walking on-leash	Yes

10/5/2015 8:43:35	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lake Washington Boulevard	Weekly	Both	No	Allowing me and others to do this. How about a program dog owners can participate in that results in a 'trained dog' tag that allows off leash use of parks? We pay taxes too. Encourage parents to keep their small children in check also and stop abusive use of parks by drinkers and druggies blasting sound and trash.	98118	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	5	5	Fourth generation area resident. Responsible pet owner. Frustrated park user as it seems dog owners targeted while others abuse. Against 'dog walkers' with more than three dogs using dog parks. This is why I don't often use them. Scary!! Unruly packs.	walking empty path with dog running off leash, when others appear I stop and put on leash.	Running off-leash	No	I hope you use my info but I am a minister and have a wedding on the 17th with the usual rehearsals etc during meeting times!!! Ironic.

10/5/2015 12:08:08	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Carkeek Park	I live at the entrance so daily +	on-leash	Yes	More poop bag stations, and garbage cans for disposal of poop. Dog poop is a big issue in carkeek park, and as far as I know there is only 1 dog poop bag station. add a bag station to all entrances to trails, and/or car parking areas.	98177	Male	35-44	Greek/Irish	English	Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	3	3	I live at the entrance to Carkeek park so my dog walker takes the dog out in the park (on leash) in the afternoons, and I take him out (on leash) in the evenings. I do not like encountering dogs in the park that I dont know and are off-leash, regardless of how well behaved they are. My dogs walks have to be on leash, and controlled due to a spine injury. I do recognize from past experience that a well behaved dog does need to be able to run and interact with dogs offleash. There are currently a wide range of off-leash parks to visit throughout the city. I dont think another off leash park at carkeek will decrease the number of off-leash dogs in carkeek park. quite the contrary I believe that the addition of an offleash section would just draw more people/dogs that want to use the rest of the park...off-leash.	Walking on-leash	Hard when he is on leash and others are not	Have a meeting at carkeek community center and I would be more apt to go...as I live next door to the community center there...I will not attend the locations above
10/5/2015 16:19:52	3	No	Yes	No	Enticement and enforcement. Off leash areas could use some fixing up. Perhaps neighborhood dog park stewards to keep them clean and looking good. Vigorous enforcement in non offleash areas.	98144	Male	55-64	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	2	3	I am a Forest Steward in a natural area. I am very concerned about damage from unleashed dogs.
10/5/2015 16:25:30	2	No	Yes	No	Parks&Rec deployment of municipal code enforcement ambassadors in parks where dog-related (and other) violations are an issue. Code enforcement ambassadors talk to dog owners who are in violation of code and ticket if appropriate and necessary.	98112	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	3	Green Seattle forest steward, pet owner
10/5/2015 16:41:46	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Hitt's Hill Park	Weekly	on-leash	Yes	Having a waterfront off leash area like Magnusson Park but in SE Seattle would be great. Even though my dog doesn't really enjoy dog park socializing I think there's room for more off leash areas all over the city.	98118	Male	35-44	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	1	1	Walking on-leash	sometimes but not at dog parks

10/5/2015 17:27:38	1	No	Yes	No	*The main need is to enforce off leash dog violations on trails and beaches. No warnings, only fines. The violators are scofflaws. There are hundreds of off leash dog violations every day. The fines would more than pay for additional animal control officers. *There are Parks staff on every level who support off leash dogs. Train and support Parks staff in getting license plates numbers, or names if known, of off leash dog owners to file with animal control where the owner will be mailed a friendly warning followed by ticket for repeat offense. *Train and support Parks staff in asking off leash dog owners to leash up every time they see an off leash dog. *No more off leash dog areas - they don't redirect off leash dogs, just overspill into natural areas. It is not Parks job to provide this service. If dog owners want off leash areas, let them organize and purchase their own space. *Have a phone number where either Parks staff or animal control will immediately respond to reports of off leash dogs. *If the problem persists, ban all dogs during certain times so nondog owners can feel safe when you can enforce the rule and ask leashed dog owners to assist in getting off leash dog owners to comply.	98117	Female	45-54	Multiple races	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	1	1	Instead of this survey, have you considered surveying the extensive damage off leash dogs do to park vegetation, wildlife, trails, slope stability with houses above, etc. I've witnesses SO much damage. I hope you are not including desires of off leashers - they are law breakers. I have been attacked by off leash dogs and dog owners on numerous occasions. I have been injured, and avoid working in my forest sites during heavy dog flow (no weekends, etc.). I don't want to attend a meeting because I am SO tired of hearing minimizations and excuses of pro off leash dog owners. Parks has a responsibility to protect both natural areas and park patrons. Instead of including dog owners in this conversation, you should just live up to your responsibility of enforcing your own rules. Until then, you are a sitting duck for lawsuits, and I am more than willing to testify how Parks has been negligent.	The problem is how you are setting up this survey to being with - that you are surveying dog owners instead of enforcing your own rules - why are you dividing this group in two to ensure that they have a voice? I will attend a group titled "How can Parks best begin protecting natural areas and patrons by enforcing dog violations and making environmental and staff changes to encourage rule compliance?"

I would support more off leash dogs areas if that would mean the leash rules are followed in other areas of parks. I have been a forest steward in a large park for 12 years and I find off leash dogs in forest and restoration areas very aggravating.	I will only be in town for the first and last of these meetings
10/5/2015 21:32:48	3	Yes	Yes	No	Respond when I call about constant violations. Enforce off leash laws at Seward Park and Martha Washington. Continue to provide bags for people to pick up after their pets and continue to promote good "dog etiquette".	98118	Female	35-44	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	1	2	I like dogs, but I have come to really resent how off leash dogs have left my son terrified of dogs after numerous scary-annoying experiences at the park across the street from us. I started calling Animal Patrol and honestly dog owners are really almost scary about their sense of the right to have their dogs off-leash. I have felt targeted in our neighborhood and my husband was actually threatened with physical violence when an aggressive dog cornered my son and he yelled for her to get her dog under control. Honestly, the city needs to step up and help create and maintain parks that are safe for all people. Martha Washington used to have a lot more people of color and now it has become predominantly an off-leash dog park because it is scary, impossible to play with any sort of ball or frisbee, annoying (wet dogs running all over your towels/shaking off on you/etc) and generally unpleasant. They dog people complain that they are the only ones at the park which they claim makes it "safe", they seem to not realize that they have driven all the rest of us away...

10/6/2015 7:09:45	1	No	Yes	No	Enforce the leash law through better education and through using your "police" powers. Also, some dog owners avoid the Magnuson off-leash area because so many professional dog walkers bring packs of dogs which they cannot effectively control. There should be regulations regarding just how many dogs one person can bring to an off-leash area.	98101	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	1	I have had dogs in my home all of my life until I moved into a non-pet apartment.

I think off-leash dogs can harm wildlife and native plants if not controlled properly, but so can people. I think some more refined rules that provide good options for responsible dog owners while protecting others and nature are needed.	My dog likes to catch frisbees but is dominant, and doesn't play well with dogs she doesn't know. I can't take her to off-leash areas because she causes problems. So I toss her frisbee for her as we walk through the park. She avoids other dogs but is good with people. And she hates brush, so she stays on trails or grass.	Walking on-leash	No

My initial question: "when is it safe for children to have contact with a lawn after dog poop has been cleared from the lawn" was never answered by the many City of Seattle employees I asked that question. I consider dogs in parks a public health and equity access issue.	Responder updated this value. An hourly preparation and participation fee

We are in need of SAFE areas a WALKABLE distance from our residence. I do not have children utilizing Seattle Parks and Rec facilities, but I am happy for my tax dollars to go there as long as they are serving everyone.I believe we can share facilities- please don't make me choose where my tax dollars go.	98109	Female	55-64	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	Meet with other well socialized dogs and responsible dog owners daily for 30 minutes of off leash play in a safe environment that is WALKABLE from my residence.

10/6/2015 12:01:31	3	No	Yes	No	Does not matter if I have a dog or not. Not everyone likes dogs. People who are afraid of dogs, or just don't want to be approached by loose dogs, should feel comfortable in their parks. My last dog was not dog-friendly. I went out of my way to only visit areas where there would not be dogs running around loose. Meaning I still wanted to take my dog to the park, but never to the off-leash area. There should be on-leash and off-leash areas in parks that are large enough to support both. Small parks that do not have off-leash areas should prohibit off-leash. But not prohibit dogs. And maybe there should be a few no-dogs-at-all parks, catering to those people who are extremely afraid of dogs.	98104	Male	45-54	Multiple races	English	Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	3	3	I will not be attending any meetings.

10/6/2015 12:34:46	1	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Discovery Park	Weekly	on-leash	No	Increased patrols and ticketing of owners of off-leash dogs.	98119	Female	45-54	Asian	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	1	Not sure what information you're looking for here.	We walk our dog on-leash in various parks around the City of Seattle, as well as around our neighborhood on Queen Anne. In Discovery, we often walk the trails. It is rare to enjoy a walk in ANY park without being interrupted by an off-leash dog and often their owners are recalcitrant and get nasty when we explain our dog likes her space and we'd prefer they keep their dog on a leash.	Walking on-leash	No
10/6/2015 12:51:49	1	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	View Ridge Playfield	Weekly	on-leash	Yes	It seems few dog owners are aware of leash laws.

Queen Anne Playfield has an area that seems never to be used and would be perfect if fenced in for a dog park. Kinnear is just terrible and too small. Nearly every dog owner we know lets their dog off leash at either Little Howe or Big Howe. One of them needs an off leash park. There would be more dogs than kids at the park.	98109	Male	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	5	5	I am passionate about finding an offleash space on top of QA!

10/6/2015 16:07:32	5	No	No	Yes	No	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	Swim	No	More dog parks, the only one in Queen Anne iOS very small (to small for ball),and consists mostly of dirt with a some shredded wood. We drive to mercer island for most dog park actives as the parks in Seattle seem to be poorly maintained.	98109	Male	35-44	Alien	Dutch	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	5	5	Not about myself about dog parks in Seattle, they are more of an afterthought and poorly maintained. None of my friends or family use the parks other than dogs and it seems the city is more interested in spending money making this city worse rather than improving things that the majority of people care about.	I throw the ball into the water he swims and retrieve it.	Running on-leash	No	Can my dog come?
10/6/2015 16:21:48	3	No	Yes	No	Dog parks are complicated - I am a bit interested in being part of the conversation as neighborly dog owners are pining for Seattle Parks to find their dog a place to run...	98116	Female	55-64	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	3	2	6-7pm meeting fits best on 10/15.

10/6/2015 16:59:40	5	No	Yes	No	I believe our parks are a wonderful place for our community - human and non-human alike - to enjoy the best of what the city has to offer.

I've been down that road and have grown tired of empty promises and being a target. I have sent email to Leah. Since I can not submit this without checking a meeting box. Disregard the meeting I Checked	You would have to pay me or call me one on one
10/7/2015 8:58:00	1	No	Yes	No	Enforce dog leash and scoop laws. Provide dog scoop bags at parking lots of Discovery Park. I heard there were plans to have a dog patrol, e.g. patrol for leash and scoop violators, I never saw it happen. Please consider doing it.	98199	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	1	I'm a park steward and every time I show up to work in the park, the first thing I have to do is clean up the dog poop in the area I'm trying to rehabilitate. The same goes for my own front yard. Seattle City needs to be more aggressive in fining people for leash and scoop violations.
10/7/2015 11:55:35	5	No	Yes	No	Put up the rainbow parks signage in "natural areas" so as to inform visitors that they are entering an area that is not a free for all. Additionally, Graffitti proof signage that indicates WHY it is important to be responsible, and HOW to do so may sway certain individuals. People need to be informed and incentivized to do the right thing! Yes there needs to exist more off leash areas/ options in the city. Also the title mentions people, is this a reference to the homeless population currently camping in parks throughout the city? This may be more of an issue for safety of park users than seemingly mentally stable canines.	98125	Male	35-44	Multiple races	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	5	5	Volunteer forest steward for past 6 years.

10/7/2015 12:10:41	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Carkeek Park	Weekly	on-leash	Yes	Focus on something that is an actual problem rather than another minor nuisance made into a mountain by the usual excessively vocal Seattle nanny-state minority. Yes, there are a few people abusing the leash law (most don't, however), but most do not, and most off-leash dogs seem very well behaved. It would be FAR more healthy to focus on poop clean-up than dogs running off leash . . . and whatever your focus, choosing to be a partner rather than more threats of police action and fines (another typical Seattle approach) will result in more positive results.	98119	Male	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	5	5	We walk the open spaces, trails, and paved areas.

Walking on-leash	Yes
10/7/2015 22:15:51	2	No	Yes	No	Since there is now zero enforcement of leash laws in Seattle parks, any increase in enforcement would make the parks a much safer environment for all citizens.	98199	Male	65+	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	2	2
10/7/2015 22:18:18	2	No	Yes	No	Provide me with strategies to help improve cooperation with leash laws when I am volunteering in the park and encounter off-leash dogs and their owners, particularly when they are throwing balls to be retrieved into planting areas that are signed as "tender young plants".	98144	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	2	2	I grew up with hunting dogs. My brother is a veterinarian. I like dogs, and would own one if I were home more to care for and be company to a pet. In my work as a forest steward, I care for an area with a "meadow". This used to be an area where families would come and have a picnic. Over the past few years it has become an off-leash dog park, and about 1/2 of the grass is gone from owners playing fetch with their dogs. The remaining soil has become compacted and there is standing water in the winter, which is slippery for walking through and working. In addition, the balls or sticks are commonly thrown into planting beds. It is discouraging to have volunteer work so easily undone by off-leash dogs. There have been times when up to 4 dogs arrive in 1 car and tear through the grounds. These pets do not always obey their owners' commands to "come". The area is not suited to an off-leash area, as much of it is still in restoration with tender, young plants that are disturbed by trampling. There is also the annoyance of dog excrement which is not always picked up. The number of dogs seems to be increasing with construction of ever more dense apartments in the neighborhood. I think this issue will simply grow over time. It would be nice to have a strategy to help manage it.
10/8/2015 11:20:01	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Blue Dog Pond OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	In winter months have a few parks that have lights. Covered structures(just basic coverage, nothing fancy) for rain in winter and shade in summer. Basically I just want something to stand under when I'm out with my dog for an hour. More basically, make sure there are waste bags at every park. Notify park users when water will be turned off/on for the season. I don't understand why it has been off in some parks and not others in the past. Maintenance of benches. I have seen people sit on a bench to have it collapse.	98144	Female	35-44	White	English	Saturday, 10/17, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Garfield Community Center	3	4	Mon/Wed/Fri morning - run on leash in my neighborhood(sam smith park, bike tunnel) Tues/Thus morning - fetch with dog at sam smith(it is lit at 6am, unlike blue dog) M/T/W/Th/F evening - blue dog park Sat/Sun morning - either Genesse or Jose Rizal Sat/Sun evening - blue dog park	multiple of the above, running & walking on-leash, sometimes walking off leash	He prefers to socialize w/ humans and play fetch, but is ok with other dogs
10/8/2015 11:31:18	1	No	Yes	No	Require dogs to be on leash except in disinter off- leash areas. Limit the number of dogs one person can bring to a park.

He cannot go in the dog park or he'll get triggered and can act aggressive towards other dogs. When walking in the park AWAY from the off leash area we often encounter people outside the OLA with their dogs off leash, causing a confrontation with our dog, endangering me, my dog and them. What's most frustrating is that these people say "my dog is friendly!" but if that is the case why don't they go into the dog park! Furthermore, there is no off-leash option for us. We cannot even get in to use the shy/small dog area because it requires going through the dog park entrance which is often crowded with dogs and unsafe.	98117	Female	25-34	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	2	We lived across the park for 5 years and walked in the park daily, 2 times a day.

Dog owners consistently think their dog is the most wonderful safest creature god put on the planet; when will dog owners recognize: 1. there is a rule in the park and on the beach and they are breaking the rules; 2. some people are terrified of dogs; 3. manage your dog-would a dog owner like me to run up to them and begin smelling their crotch, or me jumping up on them like their muts like to do. Parks could patrol the park and cite dog owners. It is past time.	98109	Male	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	1	1	I am terrified of dogs and want dogs kept on a leash in areas that state, "leash your animal."
10/8/2015 23:46:42	3	No	Yes	No	Put some teeth into the law. If a park is an on-leash park do something, actually anything, to support that law. Recently, I was accosted by a woman and her two off leash dogs at Discovery park. The woman treated me as if I was in the wrong when I asked her to put her - pit-bull looking dogs - on the leach she carried in her hand. When she refused I called parks and animal control. Neither had anyway to get in touch with them for a dog emergency. I can't see calling 911 at 0730 at Discovery when I had no idea which path this person would take. The signs that dogs must be on leash are routinely ignored. I hope that when parks begins "ticketing" they will not extend a months long warning for dog owners.	98125	Female	55-64	White	English	Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	2	2	I've marked the only one that are a possibility for me.

10/9/2015 10:49:57	1	Yes	Yes	No	Make it clear that off-leash dogs are not allowed, except in OLAs. Somehow educate dog owners that even leashed dogs can be harmful to wildlife and ecosystems in places like Discovery Park. Coordinate regular patrols by an agency empowered to enforce leash laws in parks and especially on beaches. Post signs asking people to clean up after their dogs.	98199	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	1	I am a lifelong birdwatcher and hiker.

Educate dog owners about why dogs should be leashed (leashing reduces: dog fights, dog bites, frightening walkers, stepping in dog poop, harm to wildlife, destruction of nests of ground-nesting birds, etc).	98105	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	1	I walk the trails at Discovery Park at least once or twice each week. I started using this park in the early 1970s. My children did nature camps there. I learned about birds, habitat and the environment from the park naturalists on their weekly bird walks and now I volunteer to lead these walks. Discovery Park makes me feel like I am in the middle of nature which is amazing given that this park is in the middle of an ever-growing metropolis. Discovery Park can be a peaceful haven and rejuvenating experience which I hope others can enjoy. I live near Green Lake Park and Ravenna/Cowen Parks and enjoy those parks, too. But Discovery Park is where I go when I want to get away from the hustle and bustle of this big city.
10/9/2015 17:18:16	1	No	Yes	No	Enforce leash laws.

10/9/2015 18:00:57	2	No	Yes	No	By enforcing leash laws to protect people, animals, birds and the environment in our parks. If leash laws cannot be enforced, dogs should be banned from parks with natural habitat.	98115	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	1	2	I find many dog owners to be hostile and belligerent when asked to leash their dogs. It doesn't help that the city provides no support or education on this topic.	If I can't make it I hope my responses to the survey will be counted as testimony.
10/9/2015 18:21:24	1	No	Yes	No	1. enforce leash laws 2. enforce restrictions of dogs on beaches. 3. enforce poop pickup laws	98115	Male	65+	Some other race	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	1

10/9/2015 19:41:55	1	No	Yes	No	Most importantly, by enforcing the current leash laws. I am a volunteer at Discovery Park, and I am very upset when I see unleashed dogs anywhere in this supposedly wildlife-friendly park, but especially on the beach, where, leashed or unleashed, they are a real danger to marine mammals, both because dogs maul them and because they transmit serious diseases to them. I also want Parks and Recreation not to cave in to the off-leash dog lobby, and let them destroy more parks than they already have. In my experience, anywhere an off-leash dog area has been established, dog owners then start to run their dogs off-leash anywhere in the park. Dog owners are not entitled to off-leash areas anywhere and everywhere they please. If they have to travel a few minutes to get to one, that is part of being a responsible dog owner. If it's convenience they want, they can walk their dogs in their own neighborhoods.	98199	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	1	I am a birder and naturalist, and a long-time volunteer for environmental and birding organizations. Studies have shown that birds are more disturbed by dogs, which they see as potential predators, than they are by humans. This is true even when dogs are on leashes. If it were up to me, I would prohibit dogs completely in parks that have significant amounts of wildlife habitat. I am very tired of politely asking dog owners to put their dogs on leashes, only to be the subject of a profane rant.
10/9/2015 19:59:10	2	No	Yes	No	Enforce the prohibition against off-leash dogs in all but designated areas.	98125	Male	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	2

10/9/2015 20:19:00	1	No	Yes	No	I frequently take my 3 grandchildren, ages 3 mos.- 4 years to city parks,a and frequently find it very annoying if not dangerous to encounter off-leash dogs in non-off-leash areas. As a former long--time owner of well-trained dogs, I know how unpredictable dog behavior can be, especially dogs with irresponsible owners. I have had to ask owners to leash their dogs who are running free near my little grandkids, I am polite but sometimes have been met with hostility by these "entitled" folks. Enforcement of leash laws needs to be stepped up, maybe video cameras?	98115	Female	55-64	Multiple races	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	2
10/9/2015 22:04:28	1	No	Yes	No	FYI: I have owned dogs and/or cats most of my life. My last last pet died this year so I am a sympathetic non-dog owner. You can best support me by providing a safe place for me to exercise without fear of being knocked over by a friendly of fierce dog whose owner is too preoccupied or indifferent to my needs and concerns.	98105	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	3	Retired; disabled.
10/9/2015 22:12:22	1	No	Yes	No	I love dogs but I find that the number of dogs off leash in public areas of the park has increased considerably since the off leash area opened and the behavior of the dogs and owners often interfer with those of us who enjoy quiet activities.. Many dog owners have created informal paths in the meadows where they let their dogs off leash. Dogs have run at me and jumped on me and owners are rude if I remind them that they are required to have their dogs on leash. A few times when I've been swimming off leash dogs come toward me in the water and I find it disturbing. I often see dogs off leash in the federally protected wildlife area. Owners are rude if I politely ask then to comply with the rules and leash their dogs. I believe the Park should enforce leash laws, post the rules and protect people from animals that are out of control. The elderly and disabled people are especially at risk when dogs run freely.	98105	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	1	I've been a regular visitor to Magnuson Park for 30 years. I believe that off leash areas are a good idea and should be expanded to meet the needs of dog owners. But I firmly believe that leash laws should be maintained in the public areas of the Park.

Our dog doesn't like all dogs, particularly off-leash dogs, which is only a problem if a dog comes running up to him off-leash. Passing by on-leash dogs on a trail is no problem.	98117	Female	25-34	White	English	Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	1	2	I have a small child, and friends with small children. Some of my friends' kids are very afraid of dogs, especially when off-leash dogs come up to them. I am a dog owner, and love dogs, but feel strongly about leash laws.	Our family or our dog-walker walks the trails in Carkeek, on-leash, multiple times a week. We often use the Piper's Creek Trail, because the entrance behind QFC is closest to our house.	Walking on-leash	He is picky, so needs a good match
10/10/2015 20:03:06	4	No	Yes	No	I'd say you're doing a pretty good job right now. Signage is not overbearing, rules are not unreasonable and people using the park seem to buy in to the rules.

Furthermore, I depend on the leash law to help keep me and my dog safe. Most of the times I have been injured in this situation, it has been keeping my dog from killing the other person's off leash dog. I should not be repeatedly put in this situation. They should take their dog to a designated off leash area.	Walking on-leash	No
10/12/2015 3:55:35	1	No	Yes	No	I love dogs, so I never blame dogs who misbehave off-leash by chasing birds, growling at children, jumping on people or attacking other dogs (all of which are common when dogs are off leash). It is the owners who are at fault. It is very annoying and often dangerous when people fail to obey leash laws, especially when the citizens of Seattle have done so much to make dog parks available. I believe if the Seattle Police or Parks Dept. gave citations to people disobeying the rules, misbehaving owners would soon comply. This worked very well when Seattle Police announced they were giving tickets to car drivers who blocked intersections. Such behavior *quickly* diminished, and even now, years later, most drivers comply. Signage helps also.	98105	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	2
10/12/2015 5:47:36	2	No	Yes	No	I love dogs, but the standard at this point is the assumption that dogs may roam off-leash anywhere even if signs say otherwise -- I particularly find this troubling along beaches where there is limited habitat and wildlife can be impacted. More signage and ticketing/confrontation of owners who ignore signs -- Off-leash dog-walkers have been very confrontational when I've tried to nicely ask them to leash their dogs -- It seems pretty plausible that we'll have someone hurt over this issue before long I've been lightly bitten by an off-leash dog at Golden Gardens, and regularly see dogs flushing wildlife along the city's beaches - DiscoveryPark in particular is a bird stopover point and off leash dogs regularly scare away everything.	98103	Male	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	1	2

So many dog owners don't appreciate the fact that dogs annoy other people. I've often heard them respond with "He's just a dog. He's not going to hurt anything. Parks can start posting educational signs about the damage dogs can do to wildlife, people, and other dogs.

I	98115	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	1	I have helped develop an area in Magnuson Park for urban wildlife. Dogs running through this area would make the area unsuitable for nesting birds or their fledglings. Neighborhood cats should not be allowed to wander through the parks either. In fact, they should be kept indoors or confined to the owner's yard everywhere in the city.	I have a time conflict but can stay for one hour.
10/12/2015 9:37:58	3	Yes	Yes	No	Enforce existing laws. The two main laws relating to dogs in Seattle parks - the leash law and the beach law - are violated constantly, in many cases more often than they are followed. I can't remember the last time I went to a major Seattle park (Discovery, Golden Gardens, Woodland Park, Magnuson, etc.) and didn't see off-leash dogs and/or dogs at the beach. As a wildlife enthusiast with two young children, I find this problematic and disturbing. I also think opening up select areas of beach to dogs could be helpful in managing this. As with off-leash areas, this could help to concentrate the law-following dog-owners who would like to take their dogs to the beach.	98107	Male	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	2

10/12/2015 10:36:16	1	No	Yes	No	Provide areas where I can enjoy the environment; plants, animals, etc without dogs running loose and disturbing that environment. There aren't any birds to look at when dogs are running around. Many dog owners have a sense of entitlement to let their dogs run whereever they want. A dog chasing a bird into the water is not "cute". A dog chasing a deer/rabbit etc is not "cute". Please don't chase the rest of out of the parks because the dog owners want everything and everywhere.

10/12/2015 12:49:32	1	No	Yes	No	I have a backyard bird sanctuary and cats are enough of a problem for my home nature life. In parks I absolutely depend on dogs being restricted to leash or off-leash areas. Often I am there to immerse in nature, which is very disturbed by dogs running around loose. There is a part of a birding trail (there first) in an off leash dog area and so I have seen what the birds do when the dogs are running loose. They expend so much extra energy trying to keep themselves safe and birds exist mostly on a knife edge of viability. In that instance it's okay, it's an off leash designated area and the birds have other places to go. I am just using it to illustrate that if off leash became more general again, there would be huge impact on bird urban habitat. Also I have a friend who just didn't observe the rules and when I was walking with her, a bicyclist called out his own fear. She was dismissive but what I saw is that no bicyclist knows which dogs won't run in front of him or her and so that creates anxiety anywhere there are loose dogs. I stopped walking with her because it was so unpleasant for me to see that imbalance. Leashes are not cruel and off leash areas are available. I would be fine with spending a little more money to have more off leash areas or improving the ones we have.	98103	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center	1	2	I am too late for the group deadline, I just wanted to register my input.

10/12/2015 14:10:33	3	No	Yes	No	Maintain Seattle Parks as habitats for wildlife. I enjoy watching for birds in our parks; and maintaining that dogs remain on-leash when in parks helps sustain our parks as places safe for wildlife.	98103	Male	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	2	3

10/12/2015 14:27:10	3	No	Yes	No	I love dogs and would have one if my lifestyle was conducive to care for a dog. In parks that require a leash I prefer that folks honor the requirement and most people do. I am uncomfortable when I see dogs that are large and fierce chase birds and other wildlife. I am generally watching birds. I also feel that around Green Lake in particular dogs off leash pose a safety hazard to older folks and little kids. Again, I am a dog friendly person but their is a place and time. We do have off leash dog areas to satisfy that dog need.	98107	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center	1	3	I am not able to participate in anything until November.
10/12/2015 14:50:06	3	No	Yes	No	I have owned multiple dogs in the past and I believe it is a dog owners responsibility to have dogs unleashed ONLY in off-leash areas since there are such places. Seattle Parks and Recreation can support not just non-dog owners but people who support wildlife diversity in parks, dogs or no dogs in household, by being more evident with signs, patrols and consequences to off-leash dogs. It's not an anti-dog thing, it's a pro-wildlife thing, just like banning dogs from National Park trails.	98112	Female	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	1	I am a dedicated dog owner but my most recent pet just passed away.

10/12/2015 16:54:34	2	No	Yes	No	Discovery Park is one of the few places in the city where I go to see wildlife and having off-leash dogs in the park severely impacts that.

I keep my dog on leash and on the designated trails at all times.

10/12/2015 16:55:03	1	No	Yes	No	Create more open space for wildlife and pay for it by ticketing people who get caught with their dogs off leash. Having a dog off leash seems at best, optional in all Seattle parks which is not fair to the law abiding citizens. Please enforce existing laws and make these people pay.	98136	Male	45-54	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long, Saturday, 10/17, 10-12 p.m., Jefferson Golf Clubhouse	1	1

10/12/2015 19:24:30	3	No	Yes	No	Please do not allow off-leash dogs in any of our parks except those areas particularly set aside for dogs. They should not be areas that support substantial numbers of birds, small mammals or other wildlife, as dogs are notoriously incompatible with such animals. In addition, dogs poop, not all owners are responsible with poop bags, and there's nothing much worse than being out for a walk and stepping in some of it. The barking of dogs is a special irritant when you're trying to enjoy nature or just a parklike setting. The arrogance of at least some dog owners when you try to discuss the matter is also off-putting.	98115	Male	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus	1	1	I am a professional biologist and naturalist. I do not own a dog but have many good friends who have dogs, and all of them feel much as I do about not allowing offleash dogs in parks. Even leashed dogs present a substantial disturbance to most small animals even when they don't chase them.
10/12/2015 19:26:04	1	No	Yes	No	Enforcement, enforcement, enforcement. I spend a lot to time in parks around Seattle watching and studying birds. The number of dogs off leash outnumbers the dogs on a leash about 20:1. It is ridiculous. And if I politely ask people to please leash their dog you wouldn't believe the rude, aggressive responses I get. Of course if I suggest they may want to leash their dog because I just saw an animal control officer elsewhere in the park, the compliance rate is about 100%. This totally undermines any dog owner's statement that their dog should be able to run loose anywhere they want because it doesn't harm anyone. It harms my enjoyment of the park and it disturbs wildlife in the precious few places they have left in our city. Parks Department is charged with stewardship of our jointly-owned parks. That includes getting people who value their needs over those of other people (or forms of life) to stop flaunting the law.	98117	Male	55-64	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	1	I study wildlife and have published papers on natural behavior of birds.

10/13/2015 7:34:50	2	No	Yes	No	The Parks department could put less emphasis on meeting the needs of specialized-user groups (such as COLA), who are often well-organized and vocal, and focus more on meeting the needs of the general population. Dogs are wonderful and many people enjoy having them, but too many dogs in a crowded city is not sustainable. With limited space for parks and a growing population, Parks should be focusing more on people and their need for space to recreate and connect with nature. Dog owners currently have quite a bit of acreage all to themselves in the 14 current dog parks, plus they are welcome to bring their on-leash dogs to all the other parks. That is already quite a bit of special privilege, yet they always want more. If more dog-only parks are added, there should be an equal number of other parks that are no-dog, to give people who do not like dogs a place to go and feel welcome and safe. And, dogs should NOT be allowed off-leash in any natural area.	98116	Female	55-64	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	1	2

Loose dogs frighten wild life, especially ground nesting birds. The only place California Quail are found in the Seattle area is at Magnuson Park yet folk let their dogs run through the brush and grasses that ground nesters and quail call home. This despite an off leash area in the park.	98115	Female	65+	White	English	Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	5	I am a dog lover and an avid birder. I want dogs welcomed in the park but not left to run loose in ways that endanger ground nesting birds and birds which rely on brush and grass for hiding in safety.

10/14/2015 15:08:31	5	No	Yes	No	I would like to see all parks staff in the parks make it clear to dog owners that in addition to making some adults, children and other dogs feel unsafe, that their dogs off leash and off trail tear up the vegetation and do enormous damage to the ecosystem and that there is a large fine for breaking the leash law, and that Parks will record license plate numbers of violators to be sent to animal control to send tickets. I would like Parks to also take photos of the dogs and owners to facilitate enforcement.	98116	Male	45-54	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	1	1

Wherever dog poop bags are available, this is a very handy back-up if owners run out of bags.

Seward is a bit better because there are fewer dogs and most are on-leash on the outer circle.

Provide more open green space or trail areas for dogs that behave well off-leash and need space to run/walk with their owners, but who don't respond well to the current penned-in styles of off-leash parks (e.g., Golden Gardens, Woodland Park -- dynamics can be dangerous at those as there's nowhere for owners to "go" with dogs who like to explore and keep moving, if there are other dogs providing the wrong atmosphere).	98107	Female	45-54	White	English	Tuesday, 10/13, 6-8 p.m., Greenlake Community Center, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	3	3	Twice per week, my dog goes from Ballard to Magnuson off-leash area with a dog walking business. She has to drive across town to find a large enough space to safely exercise the pack because off-leash areas closer to us are way too small/crowded. On other days, we run and walk our dog on-leash in our neighborhood and occasionally play with neighbor dogs. I sometimes go to Richmond Beach or Edmonds dog parks for beach time.

Unleashed dogs also do significant damage to areas in the process of being re-forested and to wildlife habitat. I sympathize with urban dog owners because there are few places their beloved dogs can run free. Therefore many ignore the the leash signs and law.

Please give some tickets to the scofflaws who let their dogs off leash and don't clean up after them.	98116	Female	35-44	White	English	Tuesday, 10/20, 9:30-11:30 a.m., Magnuson Campus, Wednesday, 10/21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Bitter Lake Community Center, Tuesday, 10/27, 6-8 p.m., Magnolia Community Center	1	1	I love dogs, and have been a lawful dog owner. I am disappointed that the city's lack of enforcement allows bad dog owners to drive the good majority from our precious shared green spaces.	I would come to a meeting if I thought the city would do more than just hold more meetings. Spend the meeting money on sending out an animal control officer out instead. You already know the answer.
11/4/2015 18:37:34	5	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Daily	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	Large open off-leash designated areas with parks for exercise. Some dogs require more exercise that a 30 minute walk will provide. I can't run fast or far enough to give my day a real exercise session. On-leash beach access at certain highly trafficked beaches, such as Alki.	98136	Male	35-44	White	English	Thursday, 10/15, 6-8 p.m., Camp Long	5	5	All of the above, except "no"	Yes
11/5/2015 17:30:49	1	No	Yes	No	No expanded off-leash areas, especially in our parks! Even though I don't currently have a dog, I do love them. But I know that off-leash dogs, even in designated fenced areas, run roughshod over grasslands, meadows, and woodlands, doing massive damage and scaring wildlife. I am especially concerned about protecting Lincoln Park, a precious place that we need as a refuge for people walking and kids playing and wildlife thriving, especially in our ever-growing, ever-more-hectic city. I am also disappointed that you have a dog-owners survey but no park-user survey!	98126	Female	35-44	White	English	1	1
11/5/2015 18:32:50	2	No	Yes	Yes	No	Not Applicable	Not applicable	I don't	Yes	Require people to police the dog owners and ban those owners who ruin it for all of us.	98126	Female	45-54	White	English	4	4	I avoid the dog park because my dog was attacked there. People whose dogs are not socialized took it over. I drive to Eastern WA on weekends so my Labrador can run and swim. She is off leash trained with a radi collar and unde voice control.	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/6/2015 19:41:51	1	Yes	Yes	No	I would feel better if there was an easier way to report people who have their dogs off leash at parks. While I've studied zoology and understand there is an inherent need in dogs to be free and run, when we go on hikes with my four year old we feel extremely agitated when owners refuse to leash their dogs. My four year old is very scared of dogs who run up to her, and has tripped trying to run away from them. It makes me angry when I see owners say their dogs are friendly and like kids, when that is irrelevant to a child whom is afraid of dogs.	98116	Female	25-34	White	English	1	1
11/8/2015 5:08:48	1	No	Yes	No	Change signage to include information that for those who elect to keep dogs off-leash in general park areas, citizens are empowered to enforce the rules and encouraged to call law enforcement. My opinion is that dogs who are off-leash should be subject to the use of pepper spray or other aggressive measures. People should not be expected to be polite and considerate of those who do not have consideration for others, and off-leash pets are an example of this. I do not object to creating more areas for off-leash dogs. The focus of animal enforcement should be placed on protecting people, not on protecting dogs.	98105	Female	55-64	White	Spanish	1	1
11/10/2015 0:15:33	2	No	Yes	No	The off-leash issue has become exceedingly polarized: opposing camps who are unable or unwilling to listen to one another and attempt to find some common ground. The Parks Department has a responsibility to seek solutions that serve the values of the city parks system, as opposed to the needs and desires of every interest group, and it has a procedural obligation to ensure that the community knows its participation in the decision-making process is genuine and valued. If the Department focuses on its core values and engages in a decision-making process that is transparent, open, and broad-based, I think the outcome will be more acceptable to the whole community than if the Department imposes what seems like a result-oriented process on the community, or one that does not allow for wide participation. (This survey is one example of something that appears result-oriented, in that it asks many detailed questions of dog owners about their needs and desires, but asks non-dog owners this one open-ended question. It's obvious to people that the responses of those who don't own dogs aren't being tallied in a numerical way, or analysed with any rigor. What that communicates to the non-dog owning respondents is that their answers are not being counted.) So that's where I start, anyway (a values-based process with maximum participation) and applying my own principles, I would say this: First, among the core values of a parks system must be preservation of a relatively unbuilt environment: more big trees than jungle-gyms, for instance; more existing wetlands and streams than artificial pools. I do not mean zero pools and jungle-gyms; I mean the balance should heavily favor what nature offers, because pools and exercise equipment can be installed anywhere, whereas giant old maples and barred owls cannot. Applying the same analysis to the issue of off-leash dog areas, one thing that leaps out at me is that the "needs of dogs" doesn't really belong in the calculus. The needs of people belong there, as do the needs of the natural environment (what's left of it, anyway), including young harbor seals, birds, otters, and so on. To the extent Parks caters to dogs, it is actually in the context of catering to their owners. Then there is the issue of beach access. Because of the legally paramount requirement that we not disturb or interfere with marine mammals, the Parks Department should not be considering any accommodation for dogs on salt-water beaches. I know dogs love to run ion the beach and swim in the Sound, but that should be off the table, based on the risk to marine wildlife alone. Off-leash areas at designated hours seems (to me) like an interesting approach, providing the damage to the landscape can be controlled and the area can be kept clean. A second value that factors into this analysis is that of respect for the rights and needs of others. Non-dog lovers feel that there has historically been insufficient enforcement of leash laws, and they are understandably skeptical of the idea that we should increase off-leash acreage, given that it appears that dog owners can let their dogs run free in the parks already without repercussions. It feels like rewarding bad behavior, not accommodating a worthy desire. To get the non-dog loving community to accept any increases in off-leash acreage, the Department or Animal Control, or (preferably) both, should demonstrate the ability and willingness to enforce the leash laws. I can't think of a single more important factor in winning over the non-dog loving and the leashed-dog loving crowds than this kind of demonstration. It offers a basis for believing that the boundaries, even if increased, will be meaningful, because now those boundaries are anything but. My final (for now) observation is more general, and that is that the greates gift of our parks, especially to kids, is the access to a relatively untouched landscape. I grew up here, and I learned more about nature, the environment, water quality, and a bunch of other things, just by wandering in the least well-manicured and tended parks in this city, than I did in any other single activity, whether in a classroom or on field trips, or whatever else was available to teach kids about the natural environment. Squatting in the sand and flipping over a rock at low tide exposes a tiny universe of life forms, and you don't need any special shoes or gear to enjoy it and learn from it. It would be a shame if we reduced our notion of the purpose of our parks to being that of spaces we can divide up to accommodate various "uses" or the needs of different "user groups." The open landscape of our parks, with relatively simple accommodations for ball games and picnics, provide a wealth of opportunities for activities that improve our health, engage our senses, enrich our minds, and free our spirits. Give the doggies a little more space, if you are convinced their owners need it, but only on condition that the boundaries, temporal or physical or both, are real and enforced. Do not lose sight of the bigger picture here: we all benefit from the unbuilt environment of our parks the way nature has given them to us - mostly dog-free.	98136	Female	45-54	Human	English	1	2

11/10/2015 16:52:39	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Magnolia Manor Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Have more and/or larger off leash areas. I see the Arapahoe triangle on the list of off leash areas. I live less than a block away and was not aware of that being a designated area. That's great, however it is not fenced so a dog may not be as safe playing there as it is small, but mainly because it is not fenced. It would be a tragedy if a dog saw a squirrel, went after it and the dog was hit by a vehicle because there are no fences surrounding the area.	98199	Female	65+	White	English	5	5	Both on and off leash	Yes

The off-leash area is plague by commercial dog walkers who bring as many as 11 dogs. The do NOT generally have leashes for all their dogs at hand as required by the dog park rules; instead the commercial walkers "park "the leashes on the gate. he dogs who frequently walk together tend to band together to harass puppies or other shy dogs. I very much resent having the off leash areas used in this manner by commercial operations. They make money onthe parks while also making the the off leash areas much less pleasant for non-commercial users. There should be an absolute 3-dog limit, which is generally the Seattle maximum for dogs per household.	Walking on-leash	Yes

I love the off leash beach at Richmond Beach, which is not far from where I live. The beach is available for off leash from Nov though March. A huge gift! to dogs and their owners.	98133	Female	65+	White	English	5	5	We need more places where we can exercise our well-behaved dogs. My dog is gentle and well-trained; she loves to chase her ball, and we need space so that she can do this.	Walking off-leash	it's okay but not necessary - she loves her ball!

11/10/2015 19:12:27	1	No	Yes	No	Pressure SPD to enforce the leash laws, especially in parks with OLAs, which are all negaitively affected by dog owners who let their dogs run wild when they exit the OLA through the park on the way to the parking lot Require off-leash areas to maintain cleaner OLAs Don't give special interest dog owner groups any preferential treatment over the non-dog owning public Provide education on the importance of natural areas to wildlife to all OLA users via signage that also reminds dog owners to leash their dogs when exiting the OLAs	98105	Female	55-64	White	English	1	1
11/10/2015 19:50:03	1	Yes	Yes	No	Enforce no dogs in public playground areas. My son is terrified of dogs and asks to leave when he sees one at the playground. Nearly all of the time I decide to leave instead of approach the dog owners because I did so frequently for some time and have always, in every instance, been treated very harshly and inappropriately by tbe dog owner. I have even been threatened with my child. It is very unfortunate and we experience this regularly at tbe BF Day playfield and tbe Gilman park in Ballard.	98103	Female	25-34	White	English	1	1

11/11/2015 9:15:34	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	No	So many dog parks are volunteer maintained, full of gravel (hurts my dog's paws and becomes muddy mess in winter), and aren't walkable for me. Better support for maintenance, some location for Cap Hill/CD/Madrona folks. TT Minor was a big part of people's lives because it was walkable. The last thing I want to do after driving home from work is to get in my car again and go to a dog park.	98122	Female	35-44	White	English	3	4	We run our dog on-leash every day. I used to take my dog to TT Minor once or twice a week, to Blue Dog off leash park once or twice a week, and then to Magnuson and Marymoor on the weekends (for long swims/runs in the off leash area). I stopped going to TT Minor when an old man approached me and asked where my dog's leash was (I was the only person in the park - no kids or other dogs around), then folks started getting tickets.	Running on-leash	sometimes, but she prefers to socialize with the people in the dog park
11/11/2015 10:30:51	3	No	Yes	Yes	No	Discovery Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	provide more space local to Pioneer SQ, currently the neighborhood uses the football stadium which is great when it is open and available....thank you First and Goal for your gift here to the neighborhood it definitely balances out the noise of the sporting days.	98104	Male	55-64	White	English	4	4	walking is the purpose	walk on leash to park and take him off leash	not all dogs get along so I am always careful about it
11/11/2015 11:08:05	4	No	Yes	No	I think the issues I am concerned about are really owner issues. Owners who fail to pick up after their dogs, or encourage the dogs to chase the birds and squirrels and the owners who are really paying no attention to what their dog is up to. A well behaved dog that heals and is under control is not a problem but most owners don't have control of their dogs when off leash and thus I find them chasing the herons, the ducks, the geese or anything else that moves.	98136	Male	55-64	White	English	3	3
11/11/2015 21:05:14	3	No	Yes	No	I would LOVE it if dogs stayed off the beaches where they are not allowed, and stayed ON LEASH at the parks that are not off leash parks. I am a birder and every week encounter off-leash dogs on the trails and beaches at the Montlake Fill, Discovery Park, Magnuson, Green Lake, Carkeek, Golden Gardens. Thank yoU!	98103	Female	55-64	White	English	1	2
11/12/2015 6:06:54	2	No	Yes	No	The same as for everyone else: enforce existing leash laws.	98125	Female	55-64	White	English	1	1
11/12/2015 9:09:34	1	No	Yes	Yes	No	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	Never	Yes	It would be fantastic to have more designated off-leash dog parks and leashed dog running trails (not so much in nature areas but maybe in more tamed urban parks). I have no problem driving my dog to Warren G. because it gives her the chance to roam free while giving me the piece of mind that my pet is not intruding on any ones safety or enjoyment. Sure, their are risks, but they are known risks that I can watch for, not some random dog coming up from behind me as I am running. Beyond that - ENFORCEMENT of the current leash laws. The amount of unleashed dogs in West Seattle parks is crazy and not fair to kids, people, other dogs, and wildlife. I am an active 30 something who loves my dog but understands that unleashing your dog in a public area is beyond selfish, period. I do not want to go down as the person whos dog bites a kid or have to run to my car with an injured animal in hand because someone else was unable to reign their dog in. Unfortunately, not everyone feels that way, hence why enforcement is key.	98106	Female	25-34	White	English	1	1	As far as exercise goes, I always run with my dog on city sidewalks and streets once a day, sometimes twice. I would love to take my leashed dog through parks but this is just unpractical. I have personally witnessed off leashed dogs attacking seal pups and other dogs at Lincoln Park. In one case, the attacked leashed dog appeared to be a small puppy and while I never found out the outcome of the encounter, it did not look good. Seeing an owner sobbing and running with their dog to a car (presumably to go to a vet) is a very sobering experience. I am not naive enough to think that leashed dogs can not get into trouble, but its far less likely. If I saw a leashed vs. off leash dog fight once in a while at a park, I would be ok with taking the risk of bringing my dog their on a leash. But upwards of 10 times in a two week span (not exaggerating!!) and you really begin to question your pets overall safety. People tend to leash their dogs more on streets and while its not ideal running, I just really do not feel that my dog (or myself for that matter) is safe in open park areas.	Running on-leash	Yes

11/13/2015 11:55:58	1	Yes	Yes	No	Improve animal control. I was bitten by a dog as a child and I'm very nervous with off leash dogs around my children, especially play fields and play grounds, which I see happen on a daily basis in Seattle. Also living near a large park where dogs are regularly off leash I regularly pick up dog waste, often on the grass right by the playground where children play, this is not healthy or safe for children.	98199	Female	45-54	White	English	1	1

11/14/2015 10:52:22	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Monthly	on-leash	Yes	I can't imagine why a public agency would ask to involve itself in my decision to own a dog, or think it should support my care for it. Does SP&R wants to buy my dog food, pay my vet bills, and/or sit my dog when I travel out of town? That's support I will take. Otherwise, I don't expect SP&R to provide for me & my dog. I expect SP&R to provide for and support humans. The healthier & happier the humans, the better they'll care for their family members and dogs.	98136	Male	65+	Euro	English	2	1	Exercise 90% without dog.

This means I have to quickly pickup my dog and hope I too am not the subject of unpleasant and possibly injurious behavior. At best, it is unsettling and a challenge for both pet and owner and certainly will limit my use of the park.	Walking on-leash	No

I have also witnessed an off leash dog attack a man while the owner was too far away to control the dog. One never knows how a dog will interact with others.

Signage there--tho some of it is not very prominent--prohibits this. I worry about the health of everyone, especially the children who use these parks. If we are going to have these regulations how about enforcing them?	98116	Male	65+	White	English	1	3

Unfortunately, we cannot go to dog parks. Almost every time I take my dog to a dog park she gets giardia. She is a small dog who loves to play with all breeds and is a little inept about backing off when given aggressive signals, so I also fear interaction with aggressive dogs. I wish there were more off leash options, but I'm not sure we would use them given the potential for aggressive dogs.	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/17/2015 9:30:31	3	Yes	Yes	No	What is the point of having rules if they are never enforced? I have small children and worry about an anti-social off-leash dog when we are out. I also do not like the thought of playing on the beach or an athletic field with dog pee or poop. The rules say dogs on leashes and no dogs on beaches or sports fields. Enforce your rules, please. I do support creating off-leash areas for dogs. However, I am not particularly sympathetic to people who create their own problems by making the choice to own a dog when they do not have a big enough yard for the animal.	98116	Male	45-54	White	English	1	3

11/17/2015 12:56:49	4	No	Yes	No	Ease up. Most dogs are friendly and fun. I do not feel threatened by them in the least, and enjoy seeing them and their owners having a good time. Blanket rules are generally overbearing. I feel that Seattle Public Schools "screwed the pooch" in turning the lower field of the old Genesee Hill School (formerly Pathfinder K-8) into a parking lot, when it was for many years enjoyed by dogs, kids, their owners, and the whole neighborhood....apparently save for a perpetual whiner who lives uphill of it. Dog owners should know that if their dog bites me, I will sue them to the stone age, but this has never happened.	98116	Male	55-64	White	English	4	4

11/18/2015 13:03:49	1	Yes	Yes	No	Being a dog owner has nothing to do with it. I am in the park often with my children. In the children's designated play area, or the field next to it. In full view of the dog off leash designated area at Westcrest. There are constantly dogs off leash. I've been threatened by dogs charged, been jumped on, barked at, and verbally threatened by dog owners when I politely ask them to leash their dogs. My husband has been threatened to have the sh*t beat out of him by dog owners, in front of our children. We've called animal control and 911, to no avail. The city can send people out when calls are made, they can patrol the park regularly until dog owners realize it's too risky and expensive to have their dogs off leash. Animal control has requested my husband to follow dog owners who have been aggressive to him to their cars and get pictures of their dogs and license plates, while he tries to keep our 3 year old safe. It's just not feasible. And pardon me for saying, but isn't that THEIR JOB? We feel too threatened to enjoy the park most days, the same park the city just spent a year fixing. The zip line seats have huge bite marks taken out of them thanks to one dog owner who was letting his rottweiler run back and forth, chasing and biting it, while off leash. Again, animal control did nothing but suggest my husband follow him to find out where he lived or what he drove. It's disgusting the city allows this to happen.	98106	Female	35-44	White	English	1	2
11/18/2015 20:33:22	1	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Daily	on-leash	Yes	Enforce current and even stricter leash laws especially ON THE BEACH. This is a BIG problem at Lincoln park and in our neighborhood (dogs coming on our property and leaving poop, etc. There is a large off leash park in West Seattle that people can use. They also use Gatewood Elementary School playground as an off leash dog park.	98136	Female	45-54	White	English	1	1	We walk our dogs on leash. Off-leash dogs are aggressive and threaten my dogs. They wreck the park and threaten wildlife. Off laesh walking is against the law. I have seen dogs deficate ON the beach and kill wildlife.	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/21/2015 8:29:54	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Schmitz Preserve Park	Weekly	on-leash	Yes	Prior to the construction of the new Genesee elementary school, our neighbors would meet at the shuttered Pathfinder playground. This small fenced playfield was perfect for our neighborhood. I advocate for multiple small fenced areas in different West Seattle neighborhoods. The problem with Westcrest is overuse by commercial dog-walkers and inattentive owners. Additional small dog parks would allow for more local socialization between owners and neighbors.	98116	Male	45-54	White	English	2	2	We drive to the off-leash park at Luther Burbank on Mercer Island on weekends. We dont use Westcrest as it is overused and has too many unruly dogs (and owners) for me to feel safe. Our 50 pound dog has been injured there on two occasions. We occasionally hike the trails in Schmitz park- 90% of the time on-leash and off leash only if the solitude permits.	Walking on-leash	Yes

11/21/2015 9:43:41	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Blue Dog Pond	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	I wish there was an off-leash area closer to me (in Madison Park). There are so many dogs down here who would benefit. Since there is no off-leash area, informal off-leash use in a local park has become common. This isn't really safe because the area is adjacent to (and unprotected from) a fairly busy roadway. We really need an off-leash designated area around here.	98112	Female	65+	White	English	5	5	My dog is very social and loves to run and play with other dogs.	Walking on-leash	Yes

I'd also like more poop bag / trash cans along residential streets and I'd love for more people to get fined for letting their dog off leash or not cleaning up after them. You never know what a dog will do so it makes me very uncomfortable when we approach one not on a leash.	98101	Female	35-44	White	English	1	2	We rarely go to off leash areas because the one near us (pine & i5) is horrid. It is gravel which is hard for me to walk in with big human feet. Nearly impossible for my little dog. Despite being by downtown where most everyone I know has small dogs, you mostly see big dogs and it is obvious why. Our dog likes to run so we go to the green areas at seattle u. It would be nice if he could run off leash though.	Walking on-leash	Yes

My dog has been harassed several times by off-leash dogs who were "nice" and whom the owner had no vocal control over.	98126	Female	25-34	1	1	Our very active dog walks with his dog walker at Lincoln Park, Riverview Playfield, Alki Path and with us at Lincoln Park and Seward Park. All walking occurs on leash. All off-leash activities are restricted to private property (our backyard, our cabin, property of our friends and family). Our dog stays on leash 95% of the time when he is on a hike, and is only off-leash when under voice command and when allowed by the Forest Service on the trail. Our less active dog exercises on leash at parks, in the neigborhood, or off-leash in our yard.	Walking on-leash	Depends on the dog
11/21/2015 10:08:27	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Northacres Park OLA	Daily	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	Give us woods, trails and beaches, where we humans and dogs can walk and run together, not just muddy "playpens."	98133	Female	55-64	White	English	2	2	Walking off-leash	Yes
11/21/2015 10:08:42	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Ravenna Ravine	2-3 x/week	on-leash	Yes	Change the signs!!!! The signs say "Dogs are nor welcome at "Seattle Parks and Beaches" and next to that a sign that says "Law requires that you pick up after your dog:." The sign should say not allowed "off leash at...". I stopped walking the beach at Magnuson (on leash) because do-gooders told me dogs were not allowed per the signs. I verified that dogs were allowed on leash with park employees....but I do not need the hassle and stopped walking there. People can be worse than a dog off leash. I feel more safe with any dog on or off leash than with multiple bicyclists on trails who do not use voice or bells. Many places I used to walk (Burke Gilman, Interbay, etc) are too risky because of bicycles. We love Alki because of the divided walker/biker area but with traffic it is not practical to go there. I think all dogs do better when they are all off leash or on leash. Those who are off leash in an on leash area make it difficult and give all dog owners a bad name. Lets change the laws.	98105	Female	65+	White	English	2	5	We walk about 3 miles somewhere every day. I would like more off leash opportunities but I follow the law as it now exists. I would like to see the parks less restrictive and allow off-leash.	Walking on-leash	Yes

11/21/2015 10:11:35	5	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Dr. Jose Rizal Park	Weekly	off-leash	No	We need more off-leash areas. The ones we have are too crowded and there aren't enough of them. I can't bring my step-kids to the dog parks because there's no play equipment, and I can't bring my dog to normal parks because he isn't allowed. Where are we supposed to go? Seattle is full of dogs, but they aren't allowed to run and play in most of our parks. This makes most of Seattle's parks effectively off-limits for me and my family. We need parks that can serve our kids and our dogs at the same time.	98122	Female	25-34	White	English	5	5	I walk Bartlet around Capitol Hill and Volunteer Park on-leash every day. We try to get to Rizal Park 2-4 times a week for off-leash time because he loves to run.	Walking on-leash	Some dogs
11/21/2015 10:13:28	1	No	Yes	No	This is the first time in my life that I do not have a dog, so although I don't own a dog currently, I LOVE DOGS. However, they should always be on a leash when not in a designated off leash park. I believe in responsible pet ownership and the selfish people who think laws don't apply to them annoy me immensely. I don't tell those people to leash their dogs, I tell them to be a more responsible dog owner.	98116	Female	45-54	White	English	1	1

11/21/2015 10:14:40	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	I wish there was another substantial off leash, interesting area in North Seattle - I enjoy that Magnusson is sizeable, keeps things interesting for me and the dog and the large off leash area reduces stress for dogs - not so much "ganging up" on one dog and that dog can "get away" from the more aggressive dogs, if need be. I some times use NorthAcres, but *I* don't get enough exercise, and I see more bad dog behavior there, I think because it is too small.	98125	Female	45-54	White	English	3	4	I enjoy going to the off leash area and let my dog run off some steam, and then we go on-leash over to the wetlands area, which I just LOVE, by the way, by the time we walk back to the off leash area, we've both had good exercise.	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/21/2015 10:14:53	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Golden Gardens Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	Make the playing fields currently used for softball, soccer, etc. have hours that are legal for dogs to use. People use it anyway. There is no alternative for the health of our pets. Also, maintain the dog parks so they are clean and safe.	98107	Male	55-64	Multiple races	English	5	5	I bring my dog to the Golden Gardens OLA to socialize with other dogs. She loves to chase other dogs and sometimes return a ball I throw, but not very often at the park. Too many dogs competing and she feels uncomfortable chasing her ball because other dogs will also try to get it, or actually do get it. So, instead, I often take her to an open field to chase and return a ball and get the exercise she needs. She is a blue heeler mix and needs lots of daily exercise. I walk her down the path next to Golden Gardens OLA and she loves to run up and down the hills, providing excellent exercise. This is, of course, illegal because she must be on a leash. I take her to various open fields in the Ballard area, where a lot of other people let their dogs run off leash. She has the room to run and chase a ball, and chase other dogs. This is, of course, illegal because she must be on a leash. If I'm not willing to risk her being off leash, she would have absolutely NO way to get the exercise she needs. She is a very sweet, well trained dog, stopping, staying and coming on command in every situation. One more point. The ground at the dog parks is awful for a dog's paws. It tears them up and it's filthy because it's concentrated years of dog piss and poop, and it's mostly mud, sand, pebbles and/or wood chips. Both my dog and myself have gotten eye infections from the dirt being kicked into our eyes.	Running off-leash	Yes

11/21/2015 10:32:15	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park	2 or 3 times a week	on-leash	Yes	We are constantly bothered by off-leash dogs in on-leash areas. Their owners knowingly and blatantly ignore the leash laws for selfish reasons that continually irritate and amaze us. They seem to have no consideration for the fact that their dog off-leash, even if well-trained and socialized, can negatively Impact other dogs and people: 1. shy dogs like ours who are on-lead, who start to cower, which not uncommonly in our experience seems to trigger a bit of an aggressive reaction from the off-leash dog, which in turn threatens our dog, who then can lash out in a self-defense and fear mode, which can lead to trouble. Multiple times over the years, the person with the off-leash dog reacts with alleged surprise and astonishment as per how "my dog has never acted like that before"... which of course is totally moot and irrelevant, even if true, which I doubt, because I and my dog should NOT have to be placed in that reactive mode because they have selfishly chosen to disregard a common-sense law. 2. Since we walked over the years with my aging mother, in Magnuson and in other city parks, first when she was less balanced and steady, and then later with a cane, before she finally agreed with us that a walker was safe and smart, it was not uncommon for an off-leash dog to come bounding up to say hello. She and we are dog lovers, but such off-lead, uncontrolled doggy enthusiasm was unsafe, disrespectful, and potentially a negative life-changing event should an older person fall. 3. And, tangentially, we are regularly irritated by off- leash dogs running through the wetlands and other grassy/animal habitat areas in Magnuson, particularly during bird nesting season. We would love to see, and do our fair share to help pay the costs somehow, regular patrols by ticket-giving animal control folks. We understand the complexity of such endeavors, given limited revenue and uncooperative dog owners, but to just let it go because it's difficult to enforce seems wrong. Oh, a couple of thoughts I'e had over the years relative to Magnuson: 1. I think your No Dogs On Seattle Beaches signs are too vague: what's a beach? No Dogs in The Water except in the off leash swimming area or No Dogs Beyond This Point would be more clear, on the off-side chance that rule violators are just confused... 2. More permanent signs, tasteful and not huge, placed appropriately around the meadow areas announcing this is an on-leash area only to protect urban wildlife in this urban wilderness oasis, so to speak, ... 3. The no-parking at any time signs along the main road by the cricket pitch seem to be routinely ignored... If a rule so clearly signed is going to be ignored by "the authorities", then why would anyone be surprised that off-leash area rules are ignored as well.	98125	Male	65+	White	English	1	3	We have a 13 year old Golden who, since we got her as a puppy, has been intimidated by other dogs, regardless of age, size, species, or degree of friendliness. We have successfully taken her into the Shy/Small dog area at Magnuson, off lead, and occasionally both off and on lead in the main off-leash area.... primarily so she could swim. In the swimming area, since she was loathe to leave the water, other dogs tended not to bother her much. Generally, we walked her into the swimming area on lead from the Kite Hill parking area to minimize potential negative dog interactions. We are big supporters of the off leash areas and know that taking a grovelly dog into that area was not always in her best interest, through no body's fault and kept a close eye on her and regularly intervened in advance if a problem was pending. We never had anything serious, other than her occasionally feeling intimidated and nervous for a brief time. That was far outweighed by the joy of swimming! As she's aged, and as the wetlands area was completed, now we mainly walk her on lead through there, for 30 to 45 minutes at a whack... Looping from the Children's Hospital parking area by the wetlands around and through it and along the waterfront and back.	Walking on-leash	No

Water dogs need beach time. Dog rules need to be reasonable AND enforced. Some believe fines are not a deterrent. Consider more community service "fines" so a fine includes a time commitment! Push for more licensed dogs. Consider defining what is meant by a dog under voice control or control in general. Consider promoting the importance of dog training and offering fee-based classes. Invite the veterinary community to be more active in licensing and dog training efforts. Thanks for asking!	98126	Female	65+	White	English	4	4	Most of our routine is walking & jogging on leash.

11/21/2015 11:15:18	4	No	Yes	No	This is probably not the area that I should be completing because while I do not currently have a dog I have had one in the past and I will have a dog in my home shortly, I hope. However, this is the space you gave me. I think that many dog owners who have their dogs off lease in non-off leash area do so because of the lack of sufficient off-leash dog areas. I feel very strongly that there needs to be more off-leash dog areas for me to use. I would like to be able to take walks in nice areas with my dogs off-lease, not just in rather small, flat, unappetizing areas. I would like to able to allow my dog to go into the water. Dog owners, unlike may people who use the parks, use the parks 365 days a year. Rain or shine, dark or light, early morning or late at night - we will be out with our dogs. Many people only use the parks when the weather is nice. I would like to see some parks designated as off-leash during certain hours of the day and certain times of the year. If other users of specialized areas - like ballfields or tennis courts - are required to pay extra to have these "specialized" areas or to donate hours to care for the areas - then I have no objection and think it would be fair for off-leash dog users to also have to do this. If other specialized areas are provided free of charge and maintained by the city then the off-leash dog areas should be too.	98144	Female	65+	White	English	5	5

11/21/2015 11:49:33	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	MORE PLACES TO HAVE THEM OFF LEASH. Ideas? 1) Perhaps certain hours a day at local parks where one is allowed to have a dog offleash and other hours not. For instance on school days, one could have a dog off leash 10AM-1 PM. After that, not allowed as those are times kids might be there after school. 2) Would like there to be a section at Greenlake that has water access, where dogs could be off leash. There are a lot of places where there's a section of open land at edge of water. Throw up a fence, and let that be an off leash area for the dogs.	98117	Female	55-64	White	English	5	5	Daily = one walk and ball throwing and chasing in back yard. Various times during week: Walk on leash around Green Lake. On and off leash at Carkeek (I let her off leash for a few minutes here and there when others not around so they aren't bothered by her-she'd lick them to death, not aggressive). Magnuson once a week, Northgate park once a week. In the rain, I take her to a park/field at 90th and 2nd NW. No one's there on rainy days so I throw ball for her there, off leash. If people are there, we don't go.	A variety-on lease if an onleash area, off leash if allowed. Sometimes on and off leash if on a woods trail.,,	Yes

11/21/2015 11:58:34	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Volunteer Park	Weekly	on-leash	Yes	Create off-leash areas that are SAFE and desirable in urban neighborhoods where residents have no areas to exercise their dogs.	98102	Female	45-54	White	English	4	4	As there are no safe, desirable off-leash areas in Capitol Hill I am limited to on-leash walks with my 4-year-old yellow lab. Although we walk many miles per week, this is inadequate exercise for her and most other dogs in the neighborhood. There are acres of park space for those who prefer dog-free areas, many of which are deserted except during July and August. Given the high percentage of dog owners in my neighborhood (apartment dwellers without yards) I believe Capitol Hill should be a priority for COLA. Again, safe, desirable off-leash areas are needed. Colonnade is scary, and Plymouth Pillars is filthy and attracts irresponsible owners. When my dog needs real exercise I have to drive several miles away to an appropriate area.	Walking on-leash	Yes

It's hard to see to pick up poop (a major bummer and not so safe for the dogs health) and it can feel a little dangerous if there is no one else around. I would also love access to the lake to let my dog swim (she LOVES the water) without fear of being ticketed. There is currently no legal water access in the south end and Magnuson is just to far away.	98118	Male	55-64	White	English	3	4	Walking on-leash	Yes

I would like the ordinance to change so that anonymous people cannot call animal control with complaints about dogs off leash. If a person feels that they are justified in complaining, then they need to stand up for it. There is a big difference between a dog running loose, being mistreated or dangerous to someone vs. a few dogs playing off leash in a park with another dog.	98112	Female	55-64	nyb	English	5	5	I walk my dog twice a day in the neighborhood (Madison Valley/Arboretum) and through the Arboretum at least onece a week. I hate that all off leash parks are too far and I must must drive to them. The only off leash park I visit regularly is Marymoor in Redmond. I find the off leash parks near me to be just penned in open areas that are unshaded or have pitbulls or other unsupervised dogs. I would love to have a safe, fenced off leash park that I can walk to with my dog. She needs to run, but I cannot let her off leash in the city due to her strong prey drive to chase squirrels and rats.	Walking on-leash	Yes

Magnuson Park OLA	Monthly	off-leash	Yes	The water station that used to be halfway towards the beach has been taken out, but on hot days it was a great place to stop. Wish it was back! I'd also like to see more public awareness for improved good people behavior towards dogs - like not letting your little kids run up and get in a strange dog's face, screaming and pulling their hair - or not bringing your lunch into the dog park and then getting frustrated that the dogs won't leave you alone - or promoting the yellow bandana as an "approach with caution and owner's approval" for pups healing from surgery or who have social anxieties. I'd also like to see stronger enforcement of penalties for owners who walk their dogs off leash in neighborhoods and on city streets - they don't understand that even a good well-trained dog can get excited about something and run into traffic.	98144	Female	35-44	White	English	5	5	Neither dog plays ball, but one likes to inspect the perimeter first and the other one just tries to play with all the other dogs. We usually walk slowly around the whole edge of the park, down to the water for some swimming, and then back to the main play yard.

Have more oganized ways to help support the park, cleanups, maintenance, donations for bags. Biggest suggestion: Eliminate the old law saying no dogs at Seattle beaches, even if it in the middle of winter and there isnt a formal beach for a mile. I inderstand this for a public swimming beach with a lifeguard, but I see those signs anywhere there is water, that's just dumb. The water at Magnuson OLA is cleaner than at Mathews Beach, according to test results.	98115	Male	45-54	White	English	1	4	Sometimes I walk my dog on leash across Magnuson park to get to the water, sometimes I just go to the off leash area directly	Walking off-leash	No

Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	I feel very well supported by SP&R but hope for better maintenance of the OLAs, especially when it rains.	98115	Female	65+	White	English	3	5	We take two of our three dogs to Magnuson about once a week. Otherwise, we take them hiking (once a week) or walk them on leash in the neighborhood (once or twice a day). If we are unable to hike, we go to Magnuson more often.

Off leash 90% of the time, because they get much more exercise than if on leash.	Walking off-leash	Yes
11/21/2015 16:10:15	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Blue Dog Pond OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	I'd REALLY appreciate the installation of lights at off-leash parks. Winter days are just too short! Also, can we please urge the city to drop the fine and allow dogs to use organized play fields (so long as they're not in use by individuals who are using them for sports).	98122	Female	25-34	White	English	5	5	We go for at least two walks per day and visit Blue Pond OLA at least once a week (more often when the daylight sticks around longer) to wrestle and play chase with other dogs. This is my pup's favorite and by far the best for exhausting his seemingly endless supply of energy. The next best option has been the recently opened indoor dog park we paid for a membership to: dogwood in NE Seattle. After battling Seattle traffic all day, the lengthy commute is prohibitive- it's a 40 minute drive (round-trip). Our last choice is finding empty tennis courts to play fetch in (at madrona play ground and Garfield), where we have occasionally met other dogs to play with but I am aware of the fine associated with this so that is usually a last resort (when I find myself too exhausted for anything else at the end of an 11 hour workday).

A big huge enclosed safe place with trails and water would be unbelievable for my Gordon Setter. OR pick a park like Seward Park and make it off leash one or two days a month, or certain days at certain times. Post it and the people who don't want to go there when there are dogs there, don't have to.	98103	Female	45-54	White	English	5	5	Hiking in the mountains is my favorite thing to do with my dogs. I also run with them a lot or take them to off leash places that aren't necessarily designated, but acceptable.	What? Do I spend time with my dogs exercising? yes and all the above	Yes
11/21/2015 17:22:33	1	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Hiawatha Playfield	Daily	on-leash	Yes	Add parks and green area in West Seattle instead of more condos and apartment buildings. That includes fenced off-leash areas and just places where all of us can enjoy the outdoors. When people start moving into their box apartments and condos, they are going to need to go outside in public areas to exercise their dog. Empty space has tremendous value in a dense community like West Seattle.	98116	Female	55-64	White	English	1	1	Walking on-leash	one does, the other doesn't

Walking on-leash	Yes
11/21/2015 17:23:57	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Matthews Beach Park	Weekly	on-leash	Yes	There are always a few dogs at off leash areas who should.not.be.there, either because they're aggressive, or too small to safely play with dogs of all sizes. Keeping the former out, and giving the latter their own area would help.	98115	Female	55-64	White	English	1	1	We walk from our house to Meadowbrook pond every few days, and to Magnuson weekly, daily in the summer, always on leash. When the dogs were younger--and there was no toll--we drove over to Marymoor every Saturday.	Walking on-leash	Depends on the dog
11/21/2015 17:24:30	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Daily	on-leash	Yes	I'm not sure. I do have one male dog that does not like intact males. It creates a problem at the off-leash park and I keep my dog muzzled to protect the intact dogs. But, they do cause problems for most parks. I understand there are different regulations for these parks in different areas of the city. Some do not allow intact males.	98136	Female	65+	White	English	4	4	I generally walk my four dogs in Lincoln Pk. In the mornings for about an hour. Then, in the afternoon I take them to Westcrest off-leash park. My dogs generally stay close to me unless there are squirrels.	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/21/2015 18:03:57	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	West Queen Anne Playfield	a few times a week	off-leash	Yes	Responder updated this value. On Queen Anne Hill we need a legal option to allow our dogs off-leash play time. The majority of owners I have met prefer a not fully fenced area, as they tend to attract irresponsible owners. Currently everyone who allows their dogs to play off-leash are courteous, talk about training, work together and keep our dogs in line and friendly. We always enjoy meeting other like-minded people and dogs, and it feels like a real community of dog owners who care about one-another. Also a lot of people without dogs enjoy being around us, and so we would most like to have a shared park, possibly with morning and evening hours where we are allowed to exercise our friendly dogs. We would even be willing to pay to do so, have strict standards for our dogs, etc. Most of us do not enjoy Lower Kinnear Park because there always tends to be one or more people who allows their dog to do whatever it wants, usually ending up in a fight of some kind. People also just stand outside the park and let their dog run. One issue with Seattle dog parks in general is that there tends to be very little room for each dog, and giardia is everywhere because they are just so over-run and poorly maintained. When I helped do park clean-up (Lower Kinnear) we had wood chips that were already breaking down. when I helped build a park (Beacon Hill) it was just gross and scary to use, full of human feces and not well lit or safe at all. Here there is a great area at Rogers park, the hill between the kids play area and the volleyball courts. It would be great if we could share that area, and I know many others agree.	98109	Female	35-44	prefer not to answer	English	5	5	Nightly after there is not a lot of activity. It feels safe-ish even after dark since it is lit. We use the hill area since people don't seem to use it, so I don't feel like we are disturbing anyone if there are people there. We usually play ball, occasionally another dog will come and play fetch with us or to play with my dog.	playing and walking on and off leash	Sometimes

11/21/2015 19:43:50	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	More off leash areas, magnums on is over used and city getting denser, so more use is coming. Need areas with grass and trails, need a bigger area. More dogs than children in seattle, services for dogs should reflect that. Should be a way to accommodate all uses, ie athletics, hiking, nature enthusiasts, small children playgrounds and more off leash. What about an off leash at Ravenna park? It's huge, and might help,keep some of the crime and unsavory people out.	98115	Female	45-54	White	English	5	5	Walking off-leash	Yes

11/21/2015 23:16:43	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Magnolia Manor Park	Daily	off-leash	Yes	Large off-leash areas are largely absent from Seattle. We go to Marymoor Park 2-3 times a month, which is at least 45 minutes away from our home in Magnolia, so that we can have more of an "off-leash hiking" experience with our dog. A portion of Discovery Park or other large parks could be declared off-leash for dogs under verbal control with no new infrastructure needed. Why do I have to go to Oregon to find dog-friendly beaches? Why aren't leashed dogs allowed on beaches here (outside of the few dog park areas)? In addition, I'd like to see more events hosted by Seattle Parks & Rec where dogs are allowed/welcome. For instance, events like Dog-o-ween are usually successful, but the events I'm suggesting don't need to be dog-focused - allowing dogs at the various hosted events (inside and outside) would increase participation from dog owners.	98199	Female	35-44	White	English	5	5	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/22/2015 5:28:36	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Golden Gardens Park OLA	Weekly	Off leash walk, if not busy and I think I can get away with it	Yes	I'd love to be allowed to go on nature hikes in Discovery or Carkeek or Golden Gardens with my dog off leash. He's well-trained and well-socialized and not a threat but it's still illegal. Maybe we could be allowed in certain areas with proof of passing Canine Good Citizenship or some other certification like that. My local parks are perfect for a quick game of fetch on the field. At dusk, there are often several local dogs and owners and it's a great social activity. We are all breaking the rules by letting the dogs off leash. It's just not the same as the cross town trek to the muddy OLA and my dog is much more social and relaxed in the local park. Again, an agreement to maintain a Canine Good Citizen should exempt from the blanket "must be on leash" and "not allowed here" rules. I always clean up after him and accept consequences for his behavior and that's why I risk it. Also, I do have kids, they are just no longer under 12! But I've been through that. I've also taken care of kids with dog bites in my work.	98107	Female	35-44	White	English	4	5	I much prefer to walk/ hike while my dog is off leash on voice control, that way I can keep a steady brisk walking pace and he can stop to smell things or run a head to his heart's content. Unfortunately, this is illegal just about everywhere. :( So I have to pick non-busy times and fight my own guilt and paranoia about getting caught.

This is obviously not true for all dogs. As this old saying goes there is always ONE who ruins it for EVERYONE. So if I say my dog should be let off leash in any park it's not fair for everyone.	98107	Female	35-44	White	English	5	5	We walk the more unknown "back trails" of Discovery as to not disturb other park goers.

Their Owners seem to think they are an exception to the rule and let their non-neutered dogs run through the Park everyday around dusk!

Also, let dogs swim at beaches. My dog would love to swim and play with kids, if the kids are okay with it.	98125	Female	65+	White	English	5	5	I take my dog to the off-leash park so both of us can walk. Although, he runs. It is easier to drive to a dog park to let him do his business when he wants w/o me telling him to hurry and with easy disposal. It is the best part of Seattle.	Walking off-leash	Yes
11/22/2015 9:54:00	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	We need more off leash areas. The areas should be equipped with some benches. I sometimes use the Magnesum Park small dog area which is mostly broken chairs people have donated. Would be nice to have some more benches.	98126	Female	55-64	White	English	5	5	I have 2 pugs. We use the general off leash park. It seems that the small and shy dog area is not well used. We spend time in the open areas, socializing with other dogs and then walk the trail in the off lease area. Once a month I attend a pug meetup group at Magnesum park in the small dog area. I also attend pug metopes at the Luther Burbank park on Mercer Island and we use the small dog area and then head down to the water.	Walking off-leash	Yes

Not convenient.	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	West Seattle definitely needs another designated off-leash area for dogs. The dog density is high and my hope is that if there is a more convenient off-leash area (north end of West Seattle) then maybe more dog owners will obey the on-leash requirement for environmentally sensitive areas like Schmitz Park reserve. There are too many off-leash dogs at Schmitz Park! We need to focus on protecting these wild areas, particularly as the population density is increasing.	98116	Female	45-54	White	English	2	4	Walking on-leash	in some situations

Look at Portland - they have the kid play area fenced in, and the dogs can legally run off leash in the area around that. Works great! And you can take your children and your dog to the same place at the same time to be active!	98117	Female	45-54	White	English	5	3	We go out and walk until we're done. Various loops in the area.

There are plenty of abandoned public right of ways that currently are used for trash, drug needle disposals and meeting places for druggies that could be converted to these mini dog parks.	98133	Female	65+	White	English	5	5	Walking off-leash	Yes
11/22/2015 11:39:26	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Golden Gardens Park	i mix it up with several parks	off-leash	Yes	I know we have more off leash parks then just about anywhere, so a maintained commitment to keep available space for off leash options is what's most important to me.	98117	Female	45-54	White	English	5	5	i have two austrailian shepherds who require a LOT of exercise--more than I can give them on leash. They are both rescues so they each have dog issues. I work freelance, so I walk them around whichever area of town i'm working in that day, so Golden Gardens, or Marymoor, or Horizon View Park, or Sand Point, or Bitter Lake. If i'm working from home, I walk them on leash through the neighborhood in Greenwood.	No	one does, the other is more challenged
11/22/2015 11:58:39	2	No	Yes	No	I think there could be more off lease areas designated around the city, but parks like Lincoln Park near water where there are lots of water birds and seals should be excluded.	98126	Female	55-64	White	English	2	3
11/22/2015 12:51:19	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Bitter Lake Reservoir Open Space	Daily	on-leash, off-leash	No	More areas available to dogs both on and off leash! Larger group sizes allowed ( I sometimes take my girl with her friends, as that is the only way she feels confident enough to interact.) The three dog limit at most off leash areas doesn't work for us. So we can only go to Magnuson or Woodland. But both of those areas are getting busier every day, so we need new space open to exercise. If parks don't allow dogs, we are going to end up using spaces designated for humans (U-Village, downtown), and that would not be good for those humans who do not want to be around dogs.	98133	Female	35-44	White	English	5	5	I live across the street, so we cross over on leash, walk around the perimeter a few times, then go home. Late at night, we sneak over to go off leash. If anyone else is using the park, we stay on leash. But we do off leash at least once a month.	Walking on-leash	No
11/22/2015 13:11:20	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	More fenced off-leash areas. Right now, my large dog could use a small area for injured dogs (e.g. Luther Burbank).	98106	Male	45-54	White	English	3	5	One of my dogs is on an exercise-restricted program due to an injury and cannot be off leash or do long walks.

Whenever possible, I take him to other OLAs, including Westcrest OLA, Northacres OLA, and Magnuson Park OLA.	Leash walks and offleash park visits	Yes
11/22/2015 13:41:30	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	Have larger off leash area, keep it better maintained. Dry and dusty in summer, mud field in winter.	98106	Female	45-54	White	English	5	5	Walking off-leash	Depends on the dog

11/22/2015 14:21:31	4	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Monthly	off-leash	No	I would like a dog park closer to my house. It's almost closer for me to go to Mercer Island's dog park and a whole lot safer to go there than Westcrest.	98136	Female	35-44	White	English	4	4	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/22/2015 14:29:41	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park	Monthly	off-leash	Yes	More off-leash areas!	98116	Female	35-44	Asian	English	5	5	Let my two dogs run off-leash if the other dogs in attendance are friendly.	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/22/2015 14:33:44	5	No	Yes	No	I live in Pioneer Square where many dog owner live and work. We need a public off leash area near by.	98104	Female	65+	White	English	5	5

11/22/2015 14:57:29	2	No	Yes	No	Enforce dogs not running free in many parks. Dog parks would help, but they need to be closed so dogs don't run out.	98136	Female	65+	White	English	1	3
11/22/2015 14:59:39	1	Yes	Yes	No	enforce leash laws in parks. we have two small kids who love wooded park trails. not a single visit happens without encountering a dog off leash. i sincerely worry they're going to get attacked by one of these dogs.	98126	Male	35-44	White	English	1	5

11/22/2015 15:42:42	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Green Lake Park	Monthly	on-leash	Yes	I find that the size of our parks affect dogs' behavior, making them more territorial. Almost every time I visit an off leash park in Seattle we have a negative encounter with a dog, usually they're trying to dominate my dog or others. And often at the smaller parks people stand in one space instead of following their dog so they're not aware that their dog is misbehaving. Larger spaces, think Marymoor, where every one has plenty of room, and there's rare negative interactions. I'd like to advocate for larger off leash parks with natural vegetation rather than dirt or gravel. Discovery Park and Greenlake area have tons of room, why make the offleash park so small?	98103	Female	35-44	White	English	5	5	We like to take walks, on trail (paved or unpaved).	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/22/2015 15:53:23	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Weekly	on-leash, We let her off once to play with another dog.	Yes	I think Parks & Rec does a great job; I'm a very appreciative dog owner! I know the seal pups are a concern at Lincoln Park, and I do think think the signs on the beach could be a little clearer about WHY dogs aren't allowed on the beach.	98136	Female	25-34	White	English	3	5	We walk from our house, down through the park along the water, loop around Colman Pool and walk back along the water through the North end of the park, usually. Occasionally we will walk up through the park, or drive down to the south end and walk from there.	Walking on-leash	Sometimes, but she gets nervous around large groups of dogs
11/22/2015 15:53:38	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Add more OLA's to the north end of West Seattle, possibly create dog-free parks so that the people who don't want contact can have their own space. It is a challenge to mix these populations, as they are often of very different perspectives and personalities. As a dog owner and lover, I like my dog-filled space, but I also think those who want to go to a park and know they won't run into dogs at all should have that as well. It might ease tensions.	98116	Female	45-54	White	English	5	5	Walking off-leash	Yes
11/22/2015 15:54:19	1	No	Yes	No	Keep the dogs the heck away from parks, sidewalks, stores, and restaurants.	98116	Male	55-64	White	English	1	1
11/22/2015 16:14:55	3	No	Yes	Yes	No	Westcrest Park	I tried 2x a week; but the large dogs make it too difficult	I don't	Yes	I would love it if the large dogs had a completely separate entrance that did not involve going by the small dogs. I noticed it does up set other small dogs as well. The other dog owners were really friendly and accepting and helpful.	98136	Female	65+	White	English	3	4	My dog loved being in the small dog area, but the large dogs have to walk past two full sides of the small park area and that has completely ruined my dogs experience....she became hyper aware of the large dogs and could not stop barking and trying to chase them. She is too small for the large dog area. Although I did try it when the attendance was low because she is friends with other large dogs in our family that have free run on 2-3 acres.	Walking on-leash	dogs of the same size--small
11/22/2015 16:49:39	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Weekly	on-leash	Yes	Off leash area at Lincoln park or farther north in west Seattle. West crest park too far away from the junction area	98126	Female	55-64	White	English	1	3	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/22/2015 17:13:04	2	No	Yes	No	I think the SP&R does a great job currently. I'm sure there is a need for more off leash space for dog owners and I would support that. Dog owners allowing their dogs off leash where it isn't legal (especially in environmentally sensitive areas, like along the waterfront) need to be better educated about WHY they are not allowed to let their dogs run free in those areas. There will always be those to which the rules don't seem to apply, can't help it.	98116	Female	45-54	White	English	2	3
11/22/2015 17:23:50	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Seward Park	Daily	off-leash, if anyone is there, he goes back on leash.	Yes	I wish Genesee dog park could be expanded but generally Seattle is a dog paradise and the parks dept gets a lot of the credit!	98118	Female	55-64	White	English	4	4	3walks a day, the middle one pretty long, preferably off leash in the woods if Seward park where no one goes weekdays. Second is Genesee or West Crest dog parks. Jose Rizal sometimes too. Short walks are around my neighborhood with dog on leash. Also on leash at Genesee park.	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash	unless he's afraid and it can only be when both are off leash.
11/22/2015 17:35:03	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	More off-leash areas. Thank you for your hard work!	98133	Female	35-44	White	English	5	5	Walking off-leash	Yes
11/22/2015 18:28:45	2	No	Yes	No	Increase the number of off-leash areas within existing parks so dog owners have conveniently located areas to let their dogs run in. Then they have no excuse to have their dogs off leash where it isn't permitted.	98109	Female	45-54	White	English	2	5
11/22/2015 18:28:49	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Weekly	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	provide indoor area for dogs to play. Like an airplane hangar	98126	Female	55-64	White	English	5	5	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash	Yes

11/22/2015 19:19:56	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	A designated off leash area at the Alaska Junction would be nice. Perhaps where the temporary fire station is currently located on 40th Ave SW at Alaska Ave SW	98116	Male	35-44	White	English	5	5	I walk the dog roams around and plays with other dogs and keeps up with me.

11/22/2015 19:42:05	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Daily	off-leash	Yes	We responsible dog owners need more places to go with our dogs. The dog parks are over used and most of them are inadequately sized, and in less than desirable locations. Many large cities, including NYC, allow off leash dogs in regular parks during certain publicized times. That is a good solution for all. Why should we dog owners be forced to inferior, crowded, spaces while everyone else enjoys the beautiful, spacious city parks. We are tax payers too. Dogs need to run. Unless their person is a runner, active dogs don't get the exercise they need walking on a leash.	98136	Female	45-54	White	English	5	5	I walk with my dog on trails and meet other dogs in the fields where they play	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash	Yes

11/22/2015 20:16:27	5	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Northacres Park OLA	Weekly	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	Having a child and dog, it would be nice if some Seattle City Parks and/or Beaches were accessible for dogs. It is frustrating to take the dog for a walk and then take her home and walk to the park. She doesn't like being tied up outside of the park, it would be nice if she could be at the park with me and my daughter. On a side note, we actually use the Shoreline/Shoreview dog park more than any Seattle City OLA because it has a nice OLA and also access to trails behind the park.	98133	Female	35-44	White	English	5	5	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash, Running on-leash, Running off-leash	Yes
11/22/2015 20:19:39	3	No	No	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Monitor OLAs better to reduces the numbers of aggressive dogs, unsupervised children, dog packs. I would prefer no children, but if they are allowed, they should be CLOSELY supervised. Please prohibit shock collars and tethered pairs of off-leash dogs. Please require pack walkers to have permit to operate their business in the parks. And make them stick to rules. Most of them are ok, but some are terrible.	98103	Female	55-64	White	English	2	2	My dog is off-leash. I like to keep walking. Dog enjoys walking off-leash, playing with other friendly dogs, and interacting with friendly people.	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash, agility for fun	Yes
11/22/2015 20:33:01	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Genesee Park and Playfield OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Provide better quality dog parks in Capitol Hill, Central District and South Seattle. The dog parks need to be well maintained, with trails and obstacles for the dogs. Water access would be great.	98144	Female	35-44	White	English	4	5	two walks a day, bike riding weekly, some hiking and mountain biking.

Other swim parks off leash like Luther Burbsnk or Magneson Park.	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash, Off leash swim areas	Yes
11/22/2015 20:46:12	5	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Lincoln Park	Weekly	on-leash	Yes	More off leash areas! Including some off leash beaches. There is such a huge dog population in Seattle and we'd love more places to take our dogs off-leash legally	98126	Female	25-34	White	English	5	5	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash, Running on-leash, Running off-leash	Yes

My dog is very shy of other dogs, so going to a designated dog park is not an option for me.	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash, Running on-leash, Running off-leash	No

11/23/2015 6:30:55	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Daily	off-leash	Yes	we need off-leash access to water in West Seattle. There are public access areas on shorelines where public roads end. These should be turned into off-leash access parks for dog owners whose dogs need to swim and retrieve. There is also Lowman's Beach, which would be an ideal off-leash area. Lincoln Park also has enough beach to include an off-leash dog area	98136	Female	55-64	White	English	1	3	Walk around the trail several times so dogs can explore wooded areas and hills, then spend time in the graveled/bark-covered areas so dogs can spend time socializing while I spend time socializing	Walking on-leash, Running on-leash, dog park	Yes
11/23/2015 7:35:32	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Woodland Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	There could be bathrooms and lights at the off leash areas, particularly ones of generous size that and in locations that wouldn't bother residences (like the Woodland Park OLA).	98109	Male	25-34	White	English	5	4	Off leash areas are certainly the best places to get my dog a quality workout. Jogging or walking doesn't even come close to providing the amount of quality exercise and socialization as an off leash area.	Walking on-leash, Running on-leash	Yes
11/23/2015 7:35:55	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Monthly	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	A park like 1000 Acre Dog Park in Portland would be great! Here it seems like we have only parks that are specifically for off leash dogs, and parks that are for other users, and nothing that incorporates the two.	98154	Female	25-34	White	English	5	5	A lot of times, we go for a run/walk through the park (sometimes on leash or off leash depending on other people around) that will incorporate the off leash area so my dog can play with other dogs.	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash, Running on-leash, Running off-leash	Yes
11/23/2015 7:36:52	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Green Lake Park	Daily	on-leash	Yes	I would love an off leash area in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood. Also, the Woodland Park off leash area desperately needs lighting for after dark, as the evenings are so dark in Seattle during the winter. It would be nice if there were dog socialization classes or information sessions for owners offered in some of the off leash areas. I have made an effort to socialize my dog, but many owners come to an off leash area without any notion of what to watch for. Weekend sessions would catch a lot of irregular attendees.	98103	Female	35-44	White	English	4	4	I walk my dog on leash around Green Lake Park. We also make use of the Woodland Park off leash area that is adjacent.	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/23/2015 8:08:28	5	No	Yes	No	Responder updated this value. My name is Jesse Cole. I am 26 years old and I own and operate Sir Pets Dog Walking in Seattle. We specialize in off-leash park adventures, socialization, neighborhood walks, and pet sitting. I am licensed and insured and dog walker certified. Sir Pets has been in business for 5 years now. I have been the sole operator for the past 2 years. I am a frequent visitor of Magnuson Off Leash Dog Park. It is my main destination for my park trips, in which I come with a group of dogs. In my opinion, if we were to talk about the needs of people and dogs in our dog parks I would say: 1. Education and information on rules and etiquette while at the dog park is key. (what is good and bad dog behavior, how can we be responsible for our pets as owners and handlers) 2. Access to poop bags and more pet waste trash cans. 3. Access to drinkable water and spigots. 4. Maintenance to the park and fencing.	98109	Male	25-34	Multiple races	English	4	5
11/23/2015 8:50:59	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Have more dog parks. Enlarge some of the dog parks, such as the one at Woodland Park. The park is so large, and the OLA is so small. Magnuson is Terrific, as is Marymoor (though I realize that is King County).	98103	Female	45-54	White	English	5	5	Walking off-leash	Yes

Now a trend to rescue pets is leaving owners in a mess. Many times this pet hasn't had the attention, love or care and is emotionally unpredictable. Put that with an untrained owner and it makes a disaster. Thus I feel unsafe when I'm in a park with my grand children and a dog runs up to us.	98116	Female	55-64	White	English	1	2
11/23/2015 11:05:25	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Blue Dog Pond OLA	Monthly	off-leash	No	Smaller dog parks more common in the area. Blue Dog Pond & Pike Pillars are my two closest ones, and in the time it takes me to walk to either of those, I can just as easily drive to Mercer Island dog park (but then I have to be around Mercer Island residents...) I've love to have more common half-acre or so small dog parks all around, ideally one per district/neighborhood/area. I think one at Powell Barnett or Leschi would serve the CD/Leschi/Madrona area well. Judkins would be good, but that's pretty close to Blue Dog.	98122	Male	25-34	White	English	4	5	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/23/2015 11:13:25	3	No	Yes	No	I wish there were more off leash areas available. I live in WestSeattle, Genessee Hill area. I am concerned when I see off leash dogs at Lincoln Park cuz I worry about our unofficial geese mascots. But I love to see dogs cavorting in the water.

11/23/2015 13:22:06	2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Thomas Street Mini Park	Daily	on-leash, I walk him	No	Smaller run areas. I feel like you could sneak small 10 x 30 fences (though I can't imagine the logistics behind it) into smaller parks that would allow pups like mine to get some much needed energy out from time to time. Clever signs that remind folks to leash their animal and pick up poop, I feel like if you could make them funny or hip - people would pay attention to them more.	98102	Male	25-34	Latino or Hispanic	English	1	2	I walk him around the neighborhood and when he wants to we try to run. Often we avoid the park though because of other dogs, especially the off leash ones. Even on the street people walk their animals without leash. It's annoying, my pup is a rescue and often has special temperament issues that we're always working on - but he always has a problem with puppies and usually they're the first ones to run away from their owner to greet him which means I have to literally pick him up. They can tell me sorry all they want, but if my dog attacks theirs or theirs attacks mine - I feel like they're going to have to answer to me personally, so I could care less about their sorry. If they were sorry they would put their animal on a leash until in a designated area.

Lincoln Park is great with water for dogs and lots of garbage cans, but do not like having to violate rules to take the dog off leash.

If that is true you might address or even reverse that. Not all dogs need fences. Some parts of some parks could be made to accommodate dogs off leash in addition to adding more fenced dog parks. There are not enough dog parks in Seattle. We are heading in the right direction and I am grateful for that.	98116	Female	55-64	White	English	5	5	Twice daily. I often only see other people during that time. I live with only my dog in that neighborhood. Those are the best times of my day.

Less so in winter because it gets dark early. We also use Genesse Ola, switching between the two. Both are flat mostly, with surfaces easy to clean. Both have good spaces for dog socialization. Folks are friendly too.	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/24/2015 10:14:08	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Discovery Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Allow more off leash areas as certain dogs need to run more than their owner for sufficient exercise. The city could create a temperament test for dogs to pass and be granted a license to be off leash. This could include listening to owner commands, walking to heel off leash, responding to owners commands rather than chasing the squirrel or cat. Many dogs are extremely well behaved and don't need a leash. It would be great if that could be acknowledged and therefore granted some doggie freedom.	98117	Female	35-44	White	English	5	5	I run my dog off leash regularly or play Frisbee with her in open spaces at parks.

Currently, we drive from Greenwood to Warren G. Magnuson Park as it has the best features/grounds. There is also enough space to roam without overcrowding. Accessibility to parks for our dogs would be a big improvement.	98133	Female	25-34	White	English	4	4	We utilize off leash parks on weekends for time to roam around in a safe area without a leash. During the week, at parks closer to our home, its on leash walking/running. In our neighborhood which doesn't have an off leash park or other park nearby, when safe, we walk off leash, as our dog is trained to walk next to us.

Not to mention that there is an over all lack of parks and public spaces in my neighborhood of South Park. It is a very industrial area and the parks that we do have are very disconnected or unkept.	98108	Female	35-44	White	English	3	3	I walk my Dog for at least an hour every day. I do let him off leash at non-off leash areas as long as there are no others dogs or children at the park unless the other dog is one that we are familiar with.

Dog owners would be able to come there after work as it now gets dark around 4:30.

11/24/2015 13:43:01	1	Yes	Yes	No	- Stop saying that "there are more dogs than children in Seattle". - Don't force out children and other users when creating an OLA (as happened with Magnolia Manor Park). - Don't put OLAs in a residential area. The Magnolia Manor Park OLA is directly adjacent to houses and apartment buildings. While it makes dogs + their human friends happy, the sight, sounds, and smells don't appeal to everyone. - Fund OLAs from dog license fees. My understanding is that the number of dogs actually registered in Seattle is < 40%.	98199	Male	45-54	White	English	1	1

11/24/2015 14:16:00	1	Yes	Yes	No	Reduce the number of off-leash areas. Close off-leash areas that are close to residences (as in Magnolia Manor Park). If dogs are supposed to be on-leash in parks, post it on every rainbow park sign and increase enforcement of this rule--post the phone number to call, allow the enforcing agency to take emailed or texted photos of leash scofflaws.	98199	Female	45-54	White	English	1	1
11/24/2015 14:57:20	1	No	Yes	No	Build dog parks/ OLA away from residential areas. This would help those many people who don't have dogs or are afraid of dogs to feel safe in the area around their home. Monitor better usage of dog parks: many dog owners do not clear up after their dogs if they mess the verges where they park when going to the OLA. They also let their dogs bark and disturb the neighborhood. Dogs do not help the environment, they destroy it.	98199	Female	45-54	Asian Indian AND white	English	1	1

Beside the fact that the off leash areas are horrible. I mean, in the places where the taxpaying/home-owning/majority of people live, they are horrible. The ones that are not convenient to get to are "par" at best. I am just disappointed in all the wasted money and resources year after year.

11/25/2015 13:51:49	1	No	Yes	No	Responder updated this value. I am a runner and my husband and I run daily in Lincoln Park. We absolutely love dogs. But we have had many run-ins with off-leash dogs. My husband has been knocked off his feet and seriously injured because of unattended off-leash dogs. We do not feel safe. We have also seen off-leash dogs chasing wild life, digging up plantings and pooping while their owners pretend not to see it or smell it. I think some people let their dogs run free so they won't have to bag their poop. We also worry for leashed dogs safety when an off-leash dog runs at them. I believe we need an off-leash park in or nearer to West Seattle, but it should not be in a forested park with abundant wildlife like Lincoln Park. There must be some city land that can be set aside for a designated new off-leash park near WS. Thanks for listening!	98136	Female	45-54	White	English	3	3

Would like to see more OLA's.	98106	Female	35-44	White	English	2	2	5 out of 7 days we go to Westcrest OLA. Dog is off leash and I walk the loop trail.	Walking off-leash	Yes
11/27/2015 8:39:30	2	No	No	No	Many dogs are able to be safely kept off leash, why you cannot plan for how two dogs unknown to one another will react. I have had many contact with off leash dogs that have not been troublesome, however it is difficult to feel safe when the dogs are strangers to you. I prefer designated places where dogs can be off leash. I do love dogs, I've grown up with dogs, and I have babysat a dog and was grateful for a dog park to take him to. But when I am walking alone, or with my niece and nephew and they were young, I do not want a strange dog running around.	98126	Female	35-44	White	English	3	4

11/27/2015 11:12:35	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	T.T. Minor Playground	Daily	off-leash	Yes	I realize that TT minor is not an "official" off leash dog area. However, there's a poop bag dispenser and a large community of dog owners who meet and socialize there daily, mostly because there is simply no other "dog park" on Capitol Hill. In spite of this, people still get ticketed here occasionally. If there was any other option within walking distance, we would go there! But TT Minor is the best option we have, and it'd be awesome to see it officially recognized.	98112	Female	25-34	White	English	5	5	She plays with other dogs and we play fetch for about an hour a day.

Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash	Yes
11/28/2015 20:09:00	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Green Lake Park	Weekly	on-leash	Yes	There could be more areas off leash that are not officially fenced off./ like parts of Sandal park or greenwood park. A dog can be on leash or voice control like in other places in the country., Carkeek would be a good example. There could be times of day where dogs could be off leash, where there would not be problems with seniors or children or nervous people.	98117	Female	55-64	White	English	5	5	Daily we go in neighborhood, offleash in alleys; on leash on streets. We walk thru shopping areas on leash. Take her occasionally to carkeek, discovery park but also go to Richmond beach park where she is allowed off leash.	Walking on-leash	Yes

Drive to Woodlawn or Golden Garden Off leash park once or twice a week. Dog walker takes him to Woodlawn Off Leash park once a week. Walk to ballfields to let him run around when there is not enough daylight to get to off leash park before dark after work.	Walking on-leash	Yes
11/29/2015 16:09:32	3	No	Yes	No	I am concerned that off-leash dogs are a threat to the local wildlife. My concern for people is more mild, though I can see that if someone who is afraid of dogs, allergic, or just does not like dogs goes to a park, it is reasonable to expect dogs to be leashed. I love dogs and love to meet new ones, but considering the environment, I prefer them to be leashed unless in a confined off-leash area.	98199	Male	45-54	White	English	2	5
11/29/2015 17:04:23	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	I would love to see more and longer walking loops designed for off-leash. Perhaps around the perimeter of all existing dog parks where it is feasible. I would also like them to be designed as one way loops to minimize head on encounters and also limited to walking or running with ball throwing kept to a designated central area. Head on encounters with ball chasing dogs often ruin the peace of a trot around the loop and increase the chance for unwanted aggression or accidents.	98146	Female	35-44	White	English	3	3	We take daily on-leash walks or jogs with our three dogs in our neighborhood and in local parks and visit Westcrest on weekends to socialize and use the off-leash walking loop. Our dogs love the ability to walk as a pack off-leash on the loop, as do we. We also make the drive to Marymoor for the same experience in a larger context.

11/30/2015 0:16:30	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Woodland Park	Daily	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	Portland has a great non-fenced off-leash area in at least one of their parks that is very large. They designate the off-leash are with signs that notify people that they are entering or leaving an off-leash area. It is up to the dog owners to make sure that their dogs are under control and do not run away. The area is large enough that the grass grows and does not get worn down from over use. The parks Dept keeps the lawn mowed and watered, Professional dog walkers tend to stay away from this area because it is not fenced. This makes it a wonderful area for dog owners who want some quality time enjoying their dogs. Something like that in Woodland Park would be wonderful.	98103	Male	55-64	White	English	5	5	My dog loves to play fetch. I walk with my dog and throw the ball for him. The off-leash area in Woodland park is way too small and dirty for this kind of activity. The professional dog walker/sitters who bring large numbers of dogs to the fenced off-leash area create way too much pressure on such a small area so no grass can grow and it is always dirty and not a pleasant place to exercise my dog.	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash	Yes
11/30/2015 8:24:08	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Discovery Park	Weekly	on-leash, off-leash	Yes	My dog isn't a big retriever nor is she always interested in playing with unfamiliar dogs, but she loves to walk and explore with me in our parks and on trails. I would love to have more opportunities to be officially off leash in some parks and on trails so I am not worried about getting in trouble. : ) I am a canine educator and dog recreation professional and work hard to have my dog be a Canine Good Citizen.	98117	Female	45-54	White	English	5	5	Although my dog is dog friendly, she prefers exploring trails and parks to socializing for any length of time in an OLA. She is well trained and under voice control, so we do walk off leash sometimes. We are careful to be respectful, leashing up if when we see other dogs on leash or approach areas of congestion with people, kids, etc. In addition to Discovery Park, we regularly visit Woodland park, Carkeek Park, Boeing Creek/Shoreview woods and OLA, Richmond Beach, and many others. In addition to walking, we like to practice our doggy agility/parkour moves and do other training while out and about.

11/30/2015 10:09:26	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Discovery Park	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	Provide much larger more wild off-leash areas that are interesting for dogs and humans alike. There are some good dog parks in Seattle, but they get really boring for humans if you go to them once or twice a week.	98112	Male	25-34	White	English	5	5	If the park is quite crowded, I will refrain from taking my dog off leash, but otherwise I let her off as she is well trained and under voice control. She doesn't bother other people or dogs, and doesn't stray far from me. We walk from the southern parking lot through the fields and then the woods, and we turn around before we hit the beach.

If we had a dog park near us, we would be much more likely to use it instead of letting our dog off leash in play fields or non-dog friendly parks, which is what we currently do.	98116	Female	25-34	White	English	5	5	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash	Yes

Also, where the area is on leash , Bigger signs for on leash areas. They even don't care when they go into wildlife areas with their dogs off leash. Bigger signs...	98115	Female	55-64	White	English	1	1	I usually exercise them on leash at Magnuson. We use the different trails and walking areas.

12/3/2015 7:26:25	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	There needs to be more areas for people to exercise their dogs off leash or people are going to continue using all parks as off leash areas which is uncomfortable for people with reactive dogs, children ect. Even my super happy go lucky golden is not a fan when an off leash dog runs up to us. There isn't enough places for people to exercise their dogs close to their homes and it is making for a more dangerous situation - people walk their dogs off leash in my neighborhood and have started using alleys to let their dogs run free. There are so many apartment buildings going up here, so many dogs and no place for them to run... we need more parks, or even off leash hours at parks.	98136	Female	35-44	White	English	3	3	3 days a week we go to westcrest for off leash running. Other days we walk our neighborhood, walk on leash at lincoln park or other west seattle parks. 2 days a week we run with my dog on leash and we may do a hike or something on the weekend.

12/4/2015 9:09:35	1	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Carkeek Park	Daily	on-leash	No	Enforce leash regulations on on-leash areas. There are 14 designated off-leash areas in Seattle that I have paid for with tax dollars. These off-leash areas are available to people who would like to have their dogs off-leash. It is unfair that they decide to turn on-leash areas into off-leash areas at their convenience without regard to how this impacts other users. It is also wrong that Seattle does not enforce this regulation, therefore allowing people to disregard the rules at will.	98177	Male	55-64	White	English	1	1	Try to walk dog on-leash at Carkeek Park. However, this is usually frustrated by people who have their dogs off-leash in defiance of regulations and signs that state that dogs must be on-leash. When I remind people of this, they become indignant, like they are special and rules do not apply to them.	Walking on-leash	No
12/4/2015 11:30:35	3	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Westcrest Park	Daily	off-leash	Yes	We need more off leash dog parks. there is only one in west seattle and it's off in a corner of the town that isn't accesible except by car. A dog park closer to town would be ideal. I like walking my dogs in the parks too. but sometimes a dogs gotta run.	98106	Female	55-64	White	English	3	3	I live in a condo so I walk my dogs every day on a leash around my neighborhood and at least 4 times a week go to westcrest off leash dog park for more exercise and socialization for my dogs and me	Walking on-leash	Yes

12/8/2015 19:01:46	4	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Warren G. Magnuson Park OLA	Weekly	off-leash	Yes	For starters Animal control could be more responsive. I have called when aggressive dogs are off leash in my neighborhood (pit bulls) and gotten no response. recently my dog on leash was attacked by 2 escaped vicious dogs roaming free, un-collared, un-leased. I was bit (went to ER for stitches and antibiotics) fending them off. I later learned that Animal Control released the dogs that day to the owner on his word that they had been rabies vaccinated - no proof required.	98125	Female	55-64	White	English	3	4	I want her to romp and play with other dogs in a safe environment,	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash	Yes
12/9/2015 17:53:36	5	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Carkeek Park	Weekly	not going to answer, since you have my name and email info.	No	I believe Portland has parks, like Carkeek, that have open hours that the dogs can be walked on the trails off leash. For example, on M - W - F, from open to 10 am, dogs can use the entire park (except the one sensitive area) to walk off leash. Also, we need lights at the current off leash parks, ie: Magnuson. When the sun sets so early in Nov, Dec, Jan, its hard to get a walk in before the dark closes the park. While I don't mind supporting the parks, I don't think that the dog owners should be singled out and have to maintain their own area. Do parents of toddlers have to maintain their play areas? How about Green Lake, Do the people that rent the boats, etc have to do all the work there. I pay taxes and expect that as part of the park system, you can provide all the work needed. Just as you do for all other uses for the parks.	98125	Female	45-54	White	English	5	5	Walking off-leash	Yes

12/10/2015 21:10:44	5	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Golden Gardens Park	Daily	off-leash	Yes	Truck in and spread a very, very large amount of gravel AND bark mulch to Golden gardens to convert it from a mud pit to something more akin to the setting of Shoreline's "Boeing Creek Off-Leash Dog Park". the latter is able to be comfortably used even in heavy rain without it being a miserable mud pit like Golden Garden's OLA area is allowed to be by the city.	98117	Male	45-54	White	English	5	5	In the Golden Gardens OLA there is ample opportunity to allow my dog to run and chase a ball without affecting other non-dog humans.

If so, I would love to see small off-leash areas go up. As well, widening of trails as much as possible at popular parks.	98118	Male	35-44	Latino or Hispanic	English	4	4	Mostly walks on leash around the park when dog park has more than a few dogs in it due to timidness of my dog. As well, I have a toddler, and an off leash area is not the safest place for her, so we walk around the trails of Genesee.	Walking on-leash	Scared of aggressive dogs

12/16/2015 10:29:27	2	No	Yes	No	Encourage full enforce the leash laws. It's a travesty that one can not EVER go into Discovery Park, Lincoln Park, Seward Park or any of the other smaller public parks and not see off-leash dogs with their owners behaving as though it was their back yard.

12/22/2015 10:43:04	3	No	Yes	No	Have a presence, at least on weekends, at beaches (such as Discovery Park) where dog owners ignore signs and let dogs run on the beach.

It is a long drive to any park from here.	98116	Female	45-54	White	English	4	4	Most of the time I walk with my dog on leash in my neighborhood. I drive (20 min) to get him to a location where he can run (I walk, he runs) at Genesee OLA. It is very inconvenient and takes a great deal out of my day. I do not like going to the closest OLA at Westcrest (also about 18 min away). I have a bit of a mobility issue and it is too hilly and way too muddy. Please find a graveled, well drained area in the Admiral area of West Seattle. It seems that there are many underused parks (Me-Kwa-Mooks Park maybe) that could be a small park. I think we should be thinking many small parks instead of really big one. They provide easy access and require less parking spaces in communities. I love the back entrance to Northacres. That park is small but very interesting.Not very dirty despite the heavy woods.	Walking on-leash, Walking off-leash, walk with dog a ola far from my home	Yes

We LOVE seeing our small dogs run of leash and it's important for them to get more excerise than possible when simply walking. Our dogs are highly trained, always within our sight and we always pick up after them.	98122	Female	55-64	White	English	5	4	We typically walk our dogs on leash however if very few people our we will let our dogs off leash for brief periods of time (5-20 minutes) in areas that are less populated.

Designating particular times for off-leash walking in some parks would also be helpful.	98122	Female	65+	White	English	5	5	The other park we frequent, usually twice a week, is Magnuson's off-leash park, in the small-dog area (my dog's 30 lbs but is afraid of multiple large dogs off-leash).

Dog parks should be for people in high density areas living in condos and apartments. Not rich jerks living in giant houses with cliffside views who already have plenty of room for their pets. Ballard Commons park is right in the middle of the highest dog density in the city. It is woefully underutilized and amounts to little more than a lawn the city has to pay to maintain. Put in a fence and turn it into an OLA and increase its use by a thousand times. It's a no brainier.	98107	Male	25-34	White	English	5	5	Walking on-leash	Yes
