Support tHE DOG PARK APPLICATION:
In order to become an official District dog park, we have to submit an application. We need your signatures and statements of support to demonstrate community support.

If you haven’t already, swing by a signature gathering event to sign the application. Our next event will be at Midlands on August 26 from 6-8. We’ll be announcing additional events soon.

SUbmit a Statement of Support
We also need statements of support from individuals. Whether you use the park everyday or don’t even have a dog but enjoy walking past it to see happy dogs playing, we’d love to have a statement of support from you. Please submit your statements here.
The DC Council’s FY2022 budget, approved by the Council on August 3, includes funds to make significant improvements to the Columbia Heights dog park. This budget allocation, combined with the fact that the District is close to finalizing a 20-year lease with WMATA, is a huge milestone in making the park an official District dog park.
Please thank Chairman Mendelson and other members of the Council for their efforts. In particular, please thank Councilmember Nadeau, who has continued to support the park throughout the years, even when we faced unexpected twists and turns with WMATA. Click here to thank them.
