Mission Statement
Friends of the Dog Park, Inc. is a non-profit organization open to all dog lovers and dog owners. Our primary focus is to create and sustain attractive off-leash areas in Lexington-Fayette County and promote responsible dog ownership through education and recreation.
Description
Friends of the Dog Park, Inc. (FDP) organized in May 2000 and collected 3,000 signatures on petitions supporting off-leash areas. In June 2000 the Parks Advisory Board created a Dog Park Committee to produce a detailed proposal for Dog Parks in Lexington. Composed of members of the Board, the Parks and Recreation Department, and FDP, the committee met for 6 months. We submitted the plan in January 2001 and it was accepted. All we have to do now is raise money for construction and maintenance.
