Friends of Greater Lansing Dog Parks and the Lansing Parks and Recreation Department sponsored the dog paddle party at Hawk Island County Park in Lansing. Lansing-area residents and their pets played at the public beach, raising about $250 for fencing of a proposed leash-free dog park. "There's no leash-free dog parks in Lansing, so this is a way for the dogs to play off their leashes," said Dusty DeHaven, secretary of Friends of Greater Lansing Dog Parks. "We're taxpayers, too, and we want a place for our dogs to recreate, exercise with us and be a part of the community." Friends of Greater Lansing Dog Parks, which formed almost two years ago, is in the process of developing and lobbying for a leash-free dog park. "Our first big hurdle was to get the Lansing City Council to amend a law that requires dogs to be leashed in all city parks," said Janet Geissler, Friends of Greater Lansing Dog Parks president.
