The event was put on by members of the St. Paul Off-Leash Recreation Areas Advisory Committee. This committee is advising and guiding the Parks & Rec organizations on getting more off-leash dog parks in St. Paul. {There is currently one park} They want to help educate the public about off-leash areas, show the benefits to both dog and non-dog owners, and promote a sense of community.

There are two new parks on the way right now, and the primary reason for holdup is lack of funds for fencing. I live in St. Paul, and would LOVE to see more park options, so I was happy to help out this great cause!

Besides the dog wash, there was a temporary off-leash play area and agility and fly-ball courses set up
