Our
mission is to preserve the Fiesta Island Leash-free Recreational
Area. We are a community based organization with
over 3600 members which is rapidly growing. We are a diverse
group of citizens who share a common passion and vision for
Fiesta Island. We are the
largest user group of Fiesta Island and unlike other user
groups, we use the island 365 days a year, rain or shine.
FIDO has
a board of 11
members who are working hard with the city to find a reasonable
solution that
meets the needs of
'all'
Fiesta Island Users.
Great Job

The Beach Cleanup
was a huge success!!
We had 154 participants and 73 new
supporters. Outstanding! We picked up ~313 lbs
of debris. Thank you for all your hard work. We
have one of the largest turnouts for Beach Cleanups in San
Diego. It helps build our
reputation with the city as responsible stewards of Fiesta
Island's Fenced Off-leash Exercise Area.

Dear FIDO
Members
We need to step up and Clean up!
One of the biggest
complaints we hear at meetings with city staff is that dog
owners do not pick up after their dogs. While the majority
of us do, the small percentage of those who do not are
putting our fenced area at risk. We need to get pro-active
and police ourselves if that is what it takes.
Please, if you see
someone not picking up after their dog, offer them a bag
so hopefully they
will get the hint (or at least be embarrassed for being an
inconsiderate dog owner).
This is a very serious issue and one that we need to work on
together if we want to keep our fenced off-leash area.
Carry two bags with you so you can encourage those who don't
pick up to start cleaning up!
