Long Beach Eyes Second Dog Beach
4 Feb
Summary
- Long Beach is considering a second dedicated off-leash dog beach.
- A virtual town hall is scheduled for February 11 to gather public input.
- The proposed site is approximately four acres east of Junipero Beach.
Long Beach is exploring the creation of a second dedicated off-leash dog beach to accommodate growing community interest. The city has identified an approximately four-acre parcel of sand located east of the Junipero Beach Sports Court as a prime candidate. This proposed location, situated between Molina and Orizaba avenues, is designed to offer convenient parking and pedestrian access.
The new facility would emulate the successful model of Rosie's Dog Beach, which has been a popular spot since its official recognition in 2004. Plans for the Junipero Dog Beach project include incorporating best practices for maintaining water quality, sand cleanliness, and environmental protection.
Public input is crucial for this project. Long Beach Public Works is hosting a virtual town hall meeting on February 11, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., to allow residents to learn more and share their perspectives on the proposed dog beach.
