Various residents have been working toward achieving a neighborhood dog park.
It is a costly venture but one that would bring a number of benefits. Our neighborhood has many of the canine variety.
A park would provide a good means of exercise. And dogs love to run free. Dogs are also pack animals so they might find playmates. Owners could meet and talk about their pets and the neighborhood.
This extends possibilities for communication and reviving networks.
This park would be on Des Peres just north of what once was the Hamilton branch school. Money has to be raised to erect the park. Our housing corporation will provide the land.
The dog park committee is being reconstituted and held its first meeting on APRIL 12th.
The committee is welcoming interested neighbors to help with planning and fundraising.
Please email Tracey Granneman at granneman@outlook.com to see what you could do to help. June’s annual dog show will be an opportunity to spread the word.
When the park is completed, memberships will be available with dues to cover maintenance. Dog vaccinations will be verified.
Correction published in the Summer 2022 issue, pages 3 and 8: The previous Dog Park Committee article misspelled Tracy Granneman’s name. Her correct email address is tracygranneman@outlook.com. The original April–May wording above is preserved.
