I would like to suggest the city of Newark initiate a plan to develop a dog park. It would be a great community project and provide a recreation activity that Newark does not presently have.
It would also keep our streets and green places clean by providing pets and their owners a special place to play and meet.
Dog parks can be found at County and State parks and are very popular.
Fairfield park already has a large unused fenced in area that seems like a prime location with easy access and ample parking. It would also seem to have access to water which could be converted to a doggy drinking fountain!
The introduction of a dog park could be a great addition to our beautiful park system in our city of Newark.

I am a student at the University of Delaware from Fair Haven, New Jersey. After the unexpectedly large amount of snow we received this winter, I thought of the older population and how they might be dealing with the resulting challenges. In middle school, I participated in a program, called Be a Good Neighbor, that matched middle school students with senior citizens who needed assistance with snow removal. I have attached an article detailing the project in full - I think Newark's community would benefit from a similar program!
