Creating new off-leash dog parks within the Salt Lake Valley benefits everyone: 1) Dogs get exercise and socialize which promotes better interactions with other dogs and humans; 2) Humans can be healthier as they get out with their dogs; 3) Those who don't like to see dogs in their current recreational areas may have the numbers decrease.

I frequent Parley's Nature Trail (dog Park near Tanner Park) and it has been a true joy and I think a bright spot of the Salt Lake County area...but with the changes made it is less ideal and no longer an example of what a dog park should be. I also take my dog up Mill Creek canyon. The neighborhoods we live in would benefit and I believe should provide an area for dogs to play and socialize.

I am not opposed to an annual fee to help with maintenance. I would also participate in monthly clean up efforts.
