Proposed Dog Park

Advocates for a dog-walking park presented a proposal to Kingston aldermen tonight in city hall. It’s a good idea. We need a place for dogs to run that’s safe and controlled. Aldermen seem to be generally in favor.

Advocates propose to use a swathe of city land between the Kingston Point ballfield and a wooded area near the waterfront. See the picture below – the lower right hand corner of the photo is where the park would go.

Advocates are raising the money themselves to establish the park.

    This could use a lot more information: dimensions, funds targeted, fencing, hours, target date, sentiment of the council, votes taken, schedule for votes?
    That’s ward 8: what does Senor say?

      It is all very preliminary. This group wanted and is the process if receiving city government support as they seek contributions. They expect to raise nearly $100,000.
