Sgt Anthony Park Dog Run
The Association has been trying for many years to get the city to make improvements so that dog owners are not encouraged to make the front lawn unsafe for kids playing.
Unfortunately because the city has neglected the dog run it has been misused and the city has decided to lock it.
Please contact Councilman Boggiano (RBoggiano@jcnj.org) in support of our efforts to rehabilitate the dog run into a place that dogs and dog owners want to go.
