The purpose of the Parks Improvement Funding Workgroup (Workgroup) is to review parks expansion and replacement projects identified in the six-year Parks Capital Improvement Program, analyze all available funding options, and recommend to the Lacey City Council a funding package identifying funding sources, including recommended amounts, to implement a prioritized list of parks capital projects The Workgroup intends to provide a recommendation to the Lacey City Council in December of 2024

LEASHES KEEP EVERYONE SAFE
Lacey has over 1,200 acres of parkland and open spaces plenty for all to enjoy! For everyone's safety and park enjoyment, you must keep your dog on a leash when visiting one of our parks, even if you don't see other park visitors
The rule is intended to protect the health and safety of the public AND AND your pet Using a leash will benefit you, your neighborhood or community, and your pet. Here are a few reasons why you must keep your dog on a leash while visiting our parks:
Dogs can get spooked and run away, creating a potentially dangerous situation for them
People and/or other dogs get scared of dogs
Park visitors may want to enjoy the park without having to deal with your dog
Dogs can be unpredictable in unknown situations.
Park visitors who want to meet your dog will have a proper opportunity to do so, without any surprises
If you encounter a dog off-leash in a park or if you experience an issue or attack, please contact Joint Animal Services at (360) 352-2510 or Shelter@JointAnimalServices.org for assistance.
