Columbus IN., Dog Park Coming Soon?

There is a Dog Park coming soon to Columbus Indiana.

Months ago Columbus Parks and Recreation, surveyed the residents of Columbus Indiana for public opinion on creating a Dog Park for Columbus residents and their dogs. A space specifically for socializing, and exercise for the pets. They had a signifigantly positive response from the survey, and later requested members of the community to form a Dog Park Association. They asked for volunteers and received a good turnout from the public, enthusiastic, to contribute of their time to form this organization.

The organization was formed back in September, from the volunteer members who voted on the officers to form a board of directors. And then further form committee groups, to organize this effort and thoughts, compiling information, quotes for construction, etc..

The Columbus Indiana Dog Park Association, has been very busy meeting every other week, originally on Tuesday evenings, and lately on thursday evenings for an hour each night. The group as a whole have accomplished a great deal. We have commenced planning, suggested sites, compiled drafts of a mission statement, rules and regulations, membership criteria, compiling information for the government, applied to DNR for approval, etc..

I'll update this scenario as we go. If anyone would like information on this project feel free to contact me, I'm also co-chairman of the Columbus Indiana Dog Park Association. We will soon have a central contact number for additional information, and a website so the public can contact the association, and watch the progress of the park.
