We are the committee members of friends of Silksworth lakes we are trying to persuade Sunderland city council to provide an outside dog park.
There are no other facilities in the Sunderland area and it would benefit both dogs and their owners to exercise their dogs in a safe and friendly environment.
Sunderland has over 275,000 people and many thousands are dog owners, and yet it has no safe and secure outside dog park access for dog walkers who want to let their dog of leash in a safe, secure and enclosed space.
There is nowhere in Sunderland where people can safely take their dogs, let them off their leashes and where their dogs can run and play.
Silksworth sports complex has astroturf football pitches which has not been used for a number of years and could be transformed into two huge outside dog parks, which is already securely fenced and has the facilities for dog waste disposal.
We, the undersigned, are calling for Sunderland City Council to prioritise funding to get Silksworth Sports Complex a safe and secure outside dog walking park for its users.
