I think there may not be a dog park because of money.  Also people may not have thought about getting one yet.

We don't probably have the money to do it.

Possible causes to Leicester not having a dog park could be that the small size of the town with limited dog owners could have persuaded the town administrate to not build one. Another cause could be Leicester is surrounded by towns/cities with dog parks available for example, Spencer, Worcester, Milbury etc.... This would cause further pressure to not spend money on a dog park when there are already plenty of options even when they are generally half an hour away or more.

The dogs in the area can't get exercise nearby, therefor making them less healthy.

# data[].attributes.body
possible reasons on why leicester might not have a dog park is because we don't have the space or the money to create one.

# data[].attributes.headline
maybe they havent heard the idea of a dog park and people dont want to pay money.

Leicester not having a dog park could be from not having a lot of money and or people not wanting to have one.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that leicester doesn't have a dog park because we don't really have the room for it and no one thought about how beneficial it would be to both people and their dogs.

# data[].attributes.body
There may not be a dog park already due to the lack of Funds, and lack of large open spaces that are not already Occupied.

# data[].attributes.body
people think that it going to be a waste of money.

# data[].attributes.body
Not having a dog park is a problem because there are people in leicester that can't walk their dogs and dogs need daily exercies. Dog owners would need to drive to another town or city just to walk there dogs.

Our goal is to have dogs have an open space to run around and be able to be free and not stuck in a house. We would need to have meetings to get people's ideas and opinions about this and to make newsletters to spread the word around.

If we're to go with a town survey on the town website, I would email the town administrator. To pan out our options I would also possibly arrange time after school to chat with Mrs.Mason or Mr.Lennerton, especially Mr.Lennerton since as the town historian his knowledge of Leicesters land and locations would benefit the endeavor a lot. From there we could also arrange for the teachers of LHS to possibly set up a survey for the students as they come and go from class to class to spread the word more. Which could be relayed to ones parents as a topic to be spoken about at town meetings.

# data[].attributes.body
We would need to contact the town and the people in the community to get their opinion and or ideas on how to make this work. We would need to contact the leader (president) of the town and make sure we can go through with the plan and to make sure we can do all the things we have to do right and safely. Also, to create a town website on the events that are happening, creating a survey, creating a newsletter, and a text message that goes out to all the people in the community to get their attention on what's happening.

There are multiple dog parks in worcester, paxton, millbury, oxford and auburn. some of the dog parks in worcester have some bad reviews, some of the bad reviews are because they don't have a complete fenced in area or not all of the park is fenced in. most of the dog parks around us have really good ratings. The dog parks are maintained by the city. To start a basic dog park without any equipment for the dogs to play would roughly be about $30,000 for fencing and construction and about $6,000 for dog equipment but not all dog parks need equipment it's more like and extra or decoration.

# data[].attributes.body
We would need to contact the people of the town by possibly making surveys or through social media.
