About Herndon Dogs
Herndon Dogs, Incorporated, is a dog park advocacy group comprised of
responsible dog owners in the Herndon area. Originally formed in
July 1999 as the Herndon Area Dog Coalition (HADC), we incorporated as
Herndon Dogs, Inc. in the fall of 2000.
Our group first petitioned the Town of Herndon for a dog park in June
2000. Herndon Dogs’ members had spent a year gathering information
from established dog parks across the country and researching potential
sites in Herndon. All this information was presented to Mayor Rust,
who then requested the Town staff to review the proposal. On October
17, 2000 the Town staff presented its recommendation to the Town Council
- determining that Chandon Park provided “the most suitable site for a
dog exercise area, based open available open land, impact on surrounding
neighborhoods, impact on existing park uses, and accessibility.”
At the public hearing on Tuesday, January 9, 2001, (after hearing from
22 speakers) the Herndon Town Council unanimously supported the recommendation
for the Fairfax County Park Authority to establish a dog exercise area
on a section of available land in Chandon Park!
Herndon Dogs needs your help to raise funds for the fencing and other
amenities.
