Dear Cupertino Parks and Recreation:
Please put the new DOLAS (Dogs Off Leash Areas) on the upcoming recommended Parks Workplan with a high priority.
belong to a group of little dog owners (dogs under 35 pounds) who have been wanting to form a DOLA for Little Dogs at
Linda Vista Park. We are a growing group of little dog owners (over 60 of us).
Jollyman DOLA serves primarily large dogs over 40 pounds. There is no fence there to separate little dogs from the
bigger dogs. Little dogs at Linda Vista would not need fencing there and would be safe from larger, stronger more
athletic dogs who can inadvertently run over and injure our little dogs who can range from 5 to 35 pounds but who
average 10-15 pounds. We are not asking for a fence. Our cost impact to Cupertino is nil.
We have been waiting since 2019 for the possibility of forming a small dog DOLA for our little precious dogs.
Thank you for putting us on a higher priority your recommendations for the upcoming Cupertino Parks City Workplan.
Thank you for your full consideration.
Sincerely,
- Chen

Dear Cupertino Parks and Recreation Department and Commission:
Please put the new DOLAS (Dogs Off Leash Areas) on the upcoming recommended Parks Workplan with a high priority.
I belong to a group of little dog owners (dogs under 35 pounds) who have been wanting to form a DOLA for Little Dogs at
Linda Vista Park. We are a growing group of little dog owners (over 60 of us).
Jollyman DOLA, Cupertino's first ongoing DOLA, serves primarily large dogs over 40 pounds. There is no fence there to
separate little dogs from the bigger dogs. Little dog owners are afraid bring their dogs to JM DOLA.
Little dogs at Linda Vista would not need fencing if they had a Little Dog DOLA at Linda Vista. They would be safe from
larger, stronger more athletic dogs who can inadvertently run over and injure our little dogs who can range from 5 to 35
pounds but who average 10-15 pounds.
Little dogs need a safe little dog DOLA.
Little dogs would not be intimidating to Linda Vista Park users. They are rather cute. We will be petitioning the
surrounding area around Linda Vista.
We are not asking for a fence at Linda Vista. Our cost impact to Cupertino is nil.
We have been waiting since 2019 for the possibility of forming a small dog DOLA that is safe for our little more delicate
dogs to play off leash.
Thank you for putting us on a higher priority for your recommendations for the upcoming Cupertino Parks City
Workplan.
Thank you for your full consideration.
Sincerely,
Louise Saadati

Dear Cupertino Parks and Recreation:
Please put the new DOLAS (Dogs Off Leash Areas) on the upcoming recommended Parks Workplan with a high priority.
There have been different dog owners who want to form DOLAs in Cupertino.
Some belong to a group of little dog owners (dogs under 35 pounds) who have been wanting to form a DOLA for Little
Dogs at Linda Vista Park. They are a growing group of little dog owners (over 60 dogs).
Jollyman DOLA serves primarily large dogs over 40 pounds. There is no fence there to separate little dogs from the
bigger dogs.
Little dogs at Linda Vista would not need fencing there and would be safe from larger, stronger more athletic dogs who
can inadvertently run over and injure little dogs who can range from 5 to 35 pounds but who average 10-15 pounds.
They are not asking for a fence. Their cost impact to Cupertino is nil. The location at Linda Vista would serve the local
little dog owners near there.
The little dogs have been waiting since 2019 for the possibility of forming a small dog DOLA.
There are other dog owners who are wanting to form DOLAs at Hoover Park , Memorial Park and Creekside Park in the
upcoming fiscal year.
Thank you for putting more DOLAs on a higher priority your recommendations for the upcoming Cupertino Parks City
Workplan.
Thank you for your consideration.
