SPEAK UP
for a Mueller Dog Park

People and dogs deserve a safe place to run, play and socialize.

Nearly 15,000 people now live in East Austin’s Mueller neighborhood, where hundreds of residents and visitors walk, jog and bike with their dogs daily. As Mueller has grown, conflicts between dogs and people are on the rise because there’s no safe space for dogs and their owners to socialize, exercise and play.

The Austin Parks & Recreation Department (PARD) has offered to fund a six-month pilot project for an off-leash dog park in the city-owned Southeast Greenway at Mueller, and to install a permanent dog park if the pilot is a success. Both the city and the Mueller Property Owners Association (POA) must approve the pilot project before it can proceed.
