Nearly 1,500 Names Submitted for Future Mission Viejo Dog Park

The city has reportedly received nearly 1,500 suggestions for what to name the future dog park that sits on 6 acres at the eastern edge of Mission Viejo along Felipe Road just south of Gilleran Park.

The Friends of the Mission Viejo Dog Park will sort through the community entries, narrow the list to 25 names and submit them to the Community Services Commission on January 21. The commission will whittle those down to the top 5 and ship them to the City Council for final selection in February.

"In some cases a single name has been submitted by multiple submissions," said Assistant City Manager Keith Rattay. "Once the top three dog park names are selected and if multiple submittals have been received, the winner will be selected from each category by drawing names from a hat." 

The first-place dog park naming winner will receive an iPad Mini. The person who submitted the second-place entry will receive an iPod Touch and the person with the third place submission will receive an iPod Shuffle. All prizes are being donated.
