Since I started a discussion for a skate board park, how about a dog park? Dogs are walked at the cemetery, conservation trails and town forests and even on school grounds. How about a nice fenced in landscaped dog park. Sharon and Medway have them. Medway charges a minimum fee and you have to show a rabies and license and then get a dog park license to use the facility. The fee helps to maintain the park. http://www.medwaydogpark.com/Home.html

Its probably a bad idea for folks to let their dogs roam on school fields that will be used by kids. Even if you do fully clean up after your dog, would you want your toddler rolling in your dog's urine?
The town workers were forced to take a pay cut this year due to low town revenue. Do you think its appropriate to spend tax money on a dog park when we force workers o take a pay cut?

Over the summer i've had the pleasure of visiting some great dog parks. They are all run by volunteers and many of them raised funds privately through donations and grants from dog food companies and pet stores. Most of them just needed a small patch of town owned land to build their dreams. Therefore if a dog park was built and became a social mecca for pets and people then there would be no need for dogs on the ballfields. To me it is worse to have people walking dogs in the cemetery.

Marty, is this true? My understanding was they took a 1% less RAISE in pay than they had anticipated. It's probably time to take a close look at muncipal compensation, in light of the economic hard times many of our townspeople are facing.
As to the Dog Park, if dog owners paid a small fee and kept the park self sufficient, that'd be swell by me. I'm tired of dodging dog poop at the Breakneck Hill conservation land.
