Ithaca Dog Park is an official dog park in Ithaca, New York. The park is part of the New York State park system. The park is located on the Festival Lands, adjacent to the Allan H. Treman State Marine Park at the head of Cayuga Lake. Part of the park is on state park land, and some is on city land. The beach, which is on state land, is used by dogs for swimming. Even before off-leash was legal, dog owners had been bringing their dogs to get exercise off-leash. The park land was created when dredging spoils were dumped there in the 1960s, and is now used by birdwatchers, joggers, skiers, picnickers and strollers. It also has a relatively undeveloped shoreline. This large park is beautifully fenced, and has city water supply, child-sized swimming pools for the dogs, beautiful shade trees, and benches and picnic tables for people and dogs. The park was initially developed by the Tomkins County Dog Owners Group (tcdog.com), the city of Ithaca, and the New York State Parks Commission. ==Tompkins County Dog Owners Group== The Tompkins County Dog Owners Group (TCDOG) advocates and supports the park on behalf of dog owners. The City of Ithaca and the New York State Parks Commission, along with the Town of Ithaca, and Tompkins County Board, and park user groups are in the process of planning a fenced-in, off-leash area for a dog park at the marina. As of February 2008, there is a temporary fenced-in area where Ithacans and others can come and bring their dogs to exercise. Dogs outside the fenced area are required to be leashed. This officially approved off-leash area was moved and somewhat expanded in May 2008 to straddle both city and state-owned land. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ithaca Dog Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
