New Long Beach dog park coming soon
Our municipal neighbor to the east, Long Beach, is set to get another off-leash dog park, writes Robert Garcia on LBPost.com.
A groundbreaking is coming soon and construction (which will take about a year) is set to begin later this summer on the westside's "Downtown Dog Park," an idea first proposed by the North Pine Neighborhood Alliance. The park will be built at the corner of Pacific and Ninth. With the many new lofts that have gone up in the district, the park should get good use.
Long Beach already has a fairly spaceous off-leash facility within Recreation Park on Seventh Street on the east side of town. The Long Beach Dog Park opened in the mid-1990s. Some years later, a designated dog beach was approved near Belmont Shore.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
