Here's where you can send an instant email to the entire city council and tell them some of the reasons you want the Lake Merritt dog park. Write at least three sentences and a lot more if you want.

a) it's in the Master Plan-- Build it Now
b) makes a great neighborhood meeting place
c) makes better use of park space,
d) it's the ONLY place already approved by the city
e) it's fair to share the green space at the Lake-almost 100 acres and we're asking for a half acre here and now

Whatever is true for you and for Oakland.
