About Us
Determined efforts of volunteers have kept the park clean since it was designated as an off leash area several years ago.
What is remarkable is early in the morning, every morning, for over eight years, one tireless volunteer who goes by the initials B.B. was found cleaning up the off leash area or more precisely, disposing of the “poo” from the small percentage of careless dog owners who use the park. Her passion for keeping our off leash area clean and watching over it as a valuable asset finally caught fire in 2005 when she teamed up with a few volunteers who decided it was time to get organized.
After a few meetings and an informal survey at the off leash area on July 23 and 24 of 2005, the group formed the non-profit corporation known as Off Leash Area Edmonds. On March 22, 2006, OLAE was granted its 501(c)(3) status as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions are now tax deductible.
