Dear Cupertino Parks and Recreation Department and Commission: Please put the new DOLAS (Dogs Off Leash Areas) on the upcoming recommended Parks Workplan with a high priority. I belong to a group of little dog owners (dogs under 35 pounds) who have been wanting to form a DOLA for Little Dogs at Linda Vista Park. We are a growing group of little dog owners (over 60 of us). Jollyman DOLA, Cupertino's first ongoing DOLA, serves primarily large dogs over 40 pounds. There is no fence there to separate little dogs from the bigger dogs. Little dog owners are afraid bring their dogs to JM DOLA. Little dogs at Linda Vista would not need fencing if they had a Little Dog DOLA at Linda Vista. They would be safe from larger, stronger more athletic dogs who can inadvertently run over and injure our little dogs who can range from 5 to 35 pounds but who average 10-15 pounds. Little dogs need a safe little dog DOLA. Little dogs would not be intimidating to Linda Vista Park users. They are rather cute. We will be petitioning the surrounding area around Linda Vista. We are not asking for a fence at Linda Vista. Our cost impact to Cupertino is nil. We have been waiting since 2019 for the possibility of forming a small dog DOLA that is safe for our little more delicate dogs to play off leash. Thank you for putting us on a higher priority for your recommendations for the upcoming Cupertino Parks City Workplan. Thank you for your full consideration.

Dear Cupertino Parks and Recreation: Please put the new DOLAS (Dogs Off Leash Areas) on the upcoming recommended Parks Workplan with a high priority.

The little dogs have been waiting since 2019 for the possibility of forming a small dog DOLA.
