Feedback We welcome feedback on the following draft principles: Principle 1: Off-leash areas are an important part of our park system. Principle 2: Off-leash areas need to work for all park users. Principle 3: Physical separation can create off-leash areas that work for all. Principle 4: Good design will create places that work for people and dogs. Principle 5: Off-leash areas need to be carefully placed within parks. Principle 6: Off-leash areas need to be strategically located across the city. Principle 7: There is a meaningful role for education and enforcement. Principle 8: Off-leash areas part of standard park planning processes.
