The dedication and grand opening of the off-leash dog park was held Friday, June 12th.  There were LOTS of our four-legged friends there and we had food and fun afterwards.  Representatives from the Mayor's office were in attendance, as well as the Springfield Women's Club and SACARC.  See pictures of the event by clicking HERE.

Park features include:

*Small dog play area and large dog play area, each with a separate double gate entry

*Basketball area fenced separately from dog play areas                             *Waste pick-up stations

*Shade structures with benches              *Additional lighting                      *K9 and people water fountains

                                          *Vinyl-coated 6' fence for all areas of the park

Preparations for a separate project to turn the old parking area into a playground with new play equipment is being done in tandem with the dog park construction.
