Local service clubs, sports teams, youth organizations, schools, churches, businesses, families, friends and anyone interested in helping to revitalize the city parks are all welcome and encouraged to adopt a park.
Mayor John Tonello’s Commission on Off-Leash Areas (COLA) and Friends of the Elmira Dog Park (FOTEDP) worked together from October 2009 to June 2010 to determine the best locations, procedures, and operational rules for dog parks, the first of which is located at Eldridge Park.
