Truckee may get its first dog park
By Le’a Gleason, Moonshine Ink
Tahoe is a dog paradise — a 36.15 cubic mile swimming pool and tons of space to roam certainly keep the four-leggeds happy. But the North Tahoe/Truckee area is also dotted with National Park land and divided into several jurisdictions with leash laws.
While many Tahoe-ites tend toward “let the dogs run free,” 44-year Tahoe Vista resident and top dog at Tahoe Unleashed dog park Pam Berger said leash laws aren’t all based around negativity, and this is an area where we need to reframe our thinking for modern times.
In Truckee, residents are coming together to build a park much like Tahoe Unleashed, and Berger hopes to see another public partnership happen with this project as well. Nova Lance Seghi is the co-director of Truckee Dog Park, with a board consisting of residents who are working to create a park in Truckee, partnering with Truckee-Donner Recreation and Park District.
