‘Pippin’s Petition‘ would like to advocate for off leash hours from sunrise to 10:00 a.m. and after 4 p.m. at Live Oak Beach (from 20th Avenue to Moran Lake Beach) in Santa Cruz, California.
Dog owners that frequent Live Oak Beach have for many years considered this area a great option for exercising their unleashed dogs. We would like to continue this practice that has existed for so many years, despite the leash law.
Daily vigorous exercise that includes unfettered play with other socialized dogs and games of fetch and frisbee are essential in maintaining the health of our dogs. We recognize the needs of others who would prefer to use the beach without dog interaction and feel that these off-leash hours would be a fair compromise.
