Dog Park Study
The 2018 Dog Park Study is a comprehensive approach to address the need for dog parks throughout the City of Raleigh.

This study will include analysis of the geographic distribution of dog parks throughout the city, opportunities & access in urban as well as suburban areas, & potential tools to encourage publicly accessible dog runs as part of new development.
