Future Frisco Dog Park

About 20 minutes; that’s how long Google maps states it takes to get to the Plano Dog Park when driving from Frisco. A hop, skip, and a jump; that’s all it’ll take to get you and your dog to the Frisco Dog Park when it’s built. Trying to get a dog park built isn’t an easy feat. Yet, that didn’t stop a volunteer organization found at www.friscodogpark.org from adopting this lofty goal. In September 2007, this group began imploring for the attention of the Parks and Recreation Board. The volunteer team assures us that The City staff, Parks & Recreation Board, and City Council members have been very helpful in explaining the obstacles that need to be overcome to ensure that the valuable project becomes a reality. As one would expect, the main challenge is funding. The volunteer team, made up of nearly 700 people, requests that people sign up on their website as supporters. Periodically the number of supporters is reported to the City Council and Parks & Recreation Board, which helps these groups understand how many people are in favor of attaining a dog park in Frisco.
