Hang out outside of your favorite hot dog place and ask the people standing in line to donate the price of a dog for the dog park. Choose one with a good, long line!

Get familiar with the space--play with your dog in the southwest corner of the park and daydream about how the dog park might look.

For a week, talk like a public broadcasting pledge drive. People will pay you to stop.

Buy a dog park t-shirt and wear it proudly.
