The FETCH Park ribbon-cutting was on October 14th, 2019 followed by a crowd of people and dogs happily using the park as it was open to the public. Over 2 1/2 years and 2500 volunteer hours were committed to making it happen.
FETCH Park is one of the many great city parks in Long Beach. This park was established and funded through the Long Beach Community Development Association (a 501(c)(3) non-profit) and volunteers with the Long Beach Dog Park Association.

What Is a Dog Park and How Does It Benefit the Community?

From the American Kennel Club...
With cities becoming more and more crowded and leash laws becoming more restrictive, many concerned dog owners are looking to the creation of dog parks as a solution to their need for a place to spend quality time with their pets. But just what is a “dog park,” and what benefits can one bring to your city or town?
A dog park is a public park, typically fenced, where people and their dogs can play together. Similarly, a dog run is a smaller fenced area, created for the same use, that is often located within an existing park. As the names imply, these places offer dogs off-leash play areas where their owners can enjoy a park-like setting and the chance to socialize with other canines and their owners. Dog parks, which are sometimes managed by park users in conjunction with city or town officials, are being established all over the country and offer a wealth of benefits to dogs, dog owners and the community as a whole.
