Dogmoor
May 29th, 2009
Broadmoor neighbors have come together to design a park for dogs and people, Dogmoor. The site is in the heart of New Orleans, only minutes from Uptown, the CBD, Mid-City, Carrollton and Jefferson Parish, in the neutral ground bounded by South Jefferson Davis Parkway and Washington Avenue, right by Blue Plate. Part of the Broadmoor redevelopment plan, the dog park is designed to revitalize that corridor by increasing pedestrian and business activity and will not only serve as a recreational area but also as an educational facility committed to pet health and safety. The Dogmoor Neighborhood Committee has formed partnerships with SPCA for events and pet-ownership education, the Red Cross for pet health awareness and with FEMA for pet evacuation education.

The park will be completely fenced and sport double gates to prevent any canine escapes. In addition to a large dog area, there will be a small dog activity area, a training and education area, people and pet water fountains as well as seating, rest areas and a community bulleting board. There is plenty of parking surrounding the park and all new plantings will be donated by the Hike for Katreena Organization.
