City Holding Workshop About Mountain Vista/Enc. Blvd. Off-Leash Dog Area

The City of Encinitas’ Parks and Recreation Department will hold a community workshop on October 1, 2013 at 6 pm to discuss the off-leash dog area located on Trail #72 between Mountain Vista Drive and Encinitas Boulevard east of Rodney Avenue and west of Village Run West. The workshop will be held at the City Council Chambers, 505 South Vulcan Avenue. People who reside within close proximity are receiving notices of the event, which is open to the public.

This 8.3-acre designated off-leash dog area is popular with people and pets and has been well-utilized, according to Parks, Beaches and Trails Superintendent John Frenken. He says, “We wish to address residents’ concerns about the area, specifically the off-leash timeframe. We also will solicit people’s suggestions about how to improve the site, both for people with dogs and those without dogs.”

If you cannot attend the community workshop but wish to submit your opinion or ask a question, please contact John Frenken at jfrenken@encinitasca.gov or 760-633-2755. He says, “This workshop offers a great opportunity to come together with your Encinitas neighbors and discuss community concerns and priorities.”
