We Want Your Feedback - Dog Park at Freedom Park!
North Highlands Recreation & Park District is exploring the potential for a future dog park in our community. At this time, we are conducting research only to better understand interest, needs, and preferences from residents.
This survey is intended to gather feedback and assess community support. It does not represent an approved project, funded plan, or confirmed development. Your input will help guide future discussions and determine whether pursuing a dog park is something the community would like us to explore further.
We appreciate you taking a few minutes to share your thoughts and help us make informed decisions for North Highlands!
