The parks department requires community groups, known as 'Friends of' groups, to help maintain dog runs.
- If an underserved area wants a dog run but does not have an existing 'Friends of' group, the parks department will work with the community to create one.
- This includes making connections with other successful 'Friends of' groups and empowering residents through initiatives like Partnerships for Parks.
- However, the parks department states that some form of community group championing and maintaining the dog run is required for it to be built and properly maintained.
