🏃‍♀️🐾 Runners know better than anyone that great community spaces matter. 🐾🏃‍♂️

The Frankenmuth Jaycees and Parks & Recreation are gathering community feedback on potential future improvements to Hund Platz Dog Park, and we’d love to hear from our Volksläufe community too!

A lot of us run, walk, train, and spend time outdoors with our dogs, families, and friends, so your input can help shape future conversations around:
🐶 accessibility
🐶 drainage improvements
🐶 amenities
🐶 the overall park experience

We’re currently in the information-gathering phase only. No decisions have been made yet, but strong community feedback helps us better understand priorities and explore future funding opportunities.

Take the survey here:

Please share with your fellow runners, walkers, and dog-loving friends. Because honestly… what’s better than a long run followed by hanging out with your dog? 🦴

The Frankenmuth Jaycees are partnering with Parks & Recreation to revitalize Hund Platz Dog Park. We’re exploring improvements including ADA accessibility, improved drainage, separate small/large dog areas, and a new themed entrance. We’d love your input!
