Steve Hansen, Councilmember, City of Sacramento:
“As the first urban dog park in Sacramento, Truitt Bark Park is not only a community gathering spot for our dogs and neighbors to play but also serves as a place to celebrate the legacy of Midtown activist Brooks Truitt and the renaissance of our Central City. The project is a testament to the effectiveness of collaboration between private, public and nonprofit entities and engaged leaders in our community, particularly as it relates to securing the funds to develop such a project. From the day the park opened, the community has embraced it and stood it up as a shining example of a vibrant, well programmed public space.” – Sacramento Councilmember Steve Hansen (District 4)
