The Riverside neighborhood is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in Cambridge; and

The Riverside neighborhood does not have a dedicated, fenced dog park but does have morning, off-leash dog hours at Hoyt Field; and

These early morning hours are popular and greatly used by the neighborhood; and

Hoyt Field is used during the afternoon and evenings during certain times of the year, but not during the late Fall and Winter; now therefore be it

ORDERED: That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to work with all relevant Departments to establish evening, off-leash dog hours during times when Hoyt Field is not being used for other purposes and to report back to the City Council.
