With
dog owners at one end of the city enjoying two off-leash recreation
areas, Ward 6 Alderman Rebekah Gewirtz has renewed her call for a place
where dogs can roam free in West Somerville.
At the Board's
Nov. 24 meeting, Gewirtz asked the city to look into the feasibility of
placing an off-leash park in the Davis Square area. The city has opened
two in the past three years, at Ed Leathers Community Park and Nunziato
Field.
"Many, many people have dogs," Gewirtz said of her ward.
"There's really no place to have them off leash, and we should rectify
that. I think it's long overdue."
Ward 7 Alderman Bob Trane
suggested the city should continue investigating whether state-owned
property near Alewife Brook Parkway could be dedicated to an off-leash
area.
Dog owners can find a guide to the city's parks at the Somerville Dog Owners Group Web site, www.somdog.org
