Off-leash recreation has been spreading across the country from the West Coast to the East. And with good reason. There are many advantages to having one in your community, regardless of whether you have a dog or not.

Here are just some of the ways a dog park like Paw Meadow will benefit Simsbury’s more than 2,500 dogs, their owners and other residents:

  • Provides safe place to vigorously exercise and socialize dogs.
  • Well-exercised, socialized dogs are happier and better behaved around other dogs and people.
  • Dog owners make new friends and share dog tips, experiences and references.
  • Home values may be enhanced.
  • Visitors from Avon, Canton, Farmington, West Hartford and other towns will increase retail and restaurant traffic.
  • Paw Meadow has the support of the Simsbury Board of Selectmen, Culture, Parks & Recreation Commision, Police Department and Animal Control Officer. How about you?
