Spring 2003 - time for improvements!
Phase
I - Hinges, Latches, and Water
Phase 1 involves replacing the present hinges on the entrance gates
with self-closing hinges and installing improved latches along with estimates
and plans for extending the water line to the small dog section of the
park, as well as providing a future human and doggy water fountain adjacent
to the outside walkway.
Thanks to you, funds are now available for the hinges and latches, but
completing the water line requires additional contributions.
Phase II - Gravel and Stone Pavers
Phase 2 involves adding gravel to the large dog park entrance area and
installing stone pavers leading up to the entrance and around the bulletin
board.
.
This phase of the project is costly. Contributions are
welcomed.
Phase III - Trees and Shrubs
Using your contributions and funds raised the Barkin' Bash, we have
contracted a landscaper to plant three trees and nineteen shrubs at the
entrance and along the fence of the large dog section of the park.

Phase IV - Earth Day - Lend a helping paw and dig the earth
Phase
IV of our plans takes place on Earth Day - Saturday, April 26th -
and involves extending the plantings of forsythia along the fence down
to the small dog area, plus any needed sprucing up of the park.
We are looking for volunteers and contributions for
our Earth Day Project.
