Dog Park Task Force Report
Changes in recreation use will be made at Filipello Park because the recycling center (temporarily on a basketball court there) is moving. This is the great opportunity for us to recommend now that Watertown's first Off-Leash Dog Park be designated by the Town for the unused, large, grassy, fenced in area on Grove Street at the entrance to Filipello Park.
Please email the Director of the Department of Recreation, Peter Centola (recreation@watertown-ma.gov), the Town Manager, Michael Driscoll (townmgr@watertown-ma.gov), and Town Council members (towncouncil@watertown-ma.gov) stating your choice of the Grove Street area of Filipello Park for the Dog Park. Don't forget your address. You may name your own Council member, but please ask that copies of your note be sent to all Councilors. Let us know if you get any replies at info@SustainableWatertown.org.
Stay tuned for the next Dog Park Task Force meeting where we will talk and strategize about upcoming events. More information about the Dog Park Task Force will be posted on the SustainableWatertown.org website in the next week.
