Fellow Dog Owners and Dog Lovers,

The purpose of this letter is to update you on the efforts to establish the Cordova Recreation Park District’s (CRPD) first off-leash dog park. The effort, spearheaded by the “Gone To The Dogs!” Committee, has received a temporary setback after five years of hard work because of recent actions by the Cordova Recreation and Park District Board of Directors (CRPD Board). The Dog Park Committee’s only objective is to establish CRPD’s first off-leash dog park with grass-roots community support.

Start planning now to invite your family and friends to beautiful Hagan Park for Rancho Cordova’s biggest and most anticipated celebration of the year.
