About the Watertown Dog Park Project
Watertown, NY has approximately 2,000 registered dog owners who currently have no designated area to take their beloved furry friends. This does not include the many dog owners who live in areas surrounding Watertown. Many dog owners take the chance of letting their dogs run off-leash in public areas ignoring current leash laws. A small group of loving dog owners has set forth on a mission to have a dog park built in Watertown. We would like to create a safe space where dogs and their owners can play and interact with others. The city of Watertown has set aside a fund to collect donations through the City Comptroller’s office for this off-leash park; however, they have charged the community with the task of raising money to build it. We would like to invite you to help this community build something that will be enjoyed by dogs and their owners for generations. At this time we have a few local businesses that have donated labor and materials at cost. This is a huge deal, but we still need to raise approximately $30,000 to have the dog park that we envision. As always, any amount of money will be greatly appreciated; however, anyone who makes a major donation of $1000 or more will have their name or business name featured on signage at the dog park. Obviously the larger the donation, the larger the signage will be. Just imagine the permanent advertising this will provide! Anyone able to donate to this project will gain favor in the eyes of all local dog owners. Please donate today so that we can have a safe place for dogs and their owners to play!!! Please make checks payable to “City of Watertown” and make sure to mark it “DOG PARK PROJECT”. Please note: donations to this dog park project are tax deductible! Send all donations to: City Comptroller’s Office 245 Washington St. Watertown, NY 13601
