BOZEMAN — Folks in Bozeman are wagging their tails at the concept of brand-new dog parks appearing in the area.
“This place can get pretty crowded, but with having the dog parks spread out through the community it’ll be more convenient,” Said Avery Schatz.
Schatz and his dog, Branch, play hard at the Gallatin Regional Dog Park.
He brings Branch out there since he enjoys to swim, however likewise the fences make it simple for Branch and other dogs to wander around without any leash.
There are presently 9 off-leash dog parks in Bozeman, some fenced and some not, however according to Deputy Mayor Terry Cunningham there will be 4 more.
“A total of 13 dog parks,” said Cunningham.
That’s a great deal of dog parks, however Cunningham says including 4 more is a good concept.
The brand-new dog parks will be found in Bridger Vale, South University District, Blackwood Groves, and Meadow Creek.
“I believe every subdivision that comes out of the ground in Bozeman should be thinking of off-leash recreation for dogs,” said Cunningham.
He says the city is likewise taking a look at methods to enhance existing dog parks in the area.
At Gallatin Regional Park, you can see a brand-new paved walkway and a parking area coming together.
“I believe this is the way of the future,” said Cunningham. “Development should include parks, dog parks, as well as recreation for kids, families, and seniors.”
Schatz says he sees Cunningham’s vision crystal clear.
“It’s exciting and overall, they’ve done a really good job with things,” said Schatz.
