Dubuque Parks and Recreation Commission seeking input on allowing dogs and cats in some city parks.

The City of Dubuque Parks and Recreation Commission is welcoming public input as it reviews a city ordinance that allows dogs and cats in some city parks. Input will be accepted at a public meeting on March 11 and can also be provided online until March 3.  Residents are invited to provide in-person input at the next parks and recreation commission meeting on Tuesday, March 11, at 5 p.m. in the City Council Chambers in the Historic Federal Building. Residents can also provide input through an online form at cityofdubuque.org/petsinparks until 11:59 p.m. Monday, March 3.  The ordinance was last updated in 2020 when it was modified to permit leashed dogs and cats in most Dubuque parks, parkways, trails, and open spaces.
