The Dog Park Committee is busy interviewing and comparing bids from vendors to build a new permanent shade structure that will cover the seating areas of both the small and large dog parks. The shade structure must pass the Lee County code guidelines and be Cat 5 hurricane proof. We have four final bids and look forward to a decision soon. Our goal is to start with the permitting process soon because we all know that it is a slow process. We know all the members will love having this in place so the temporary structures can be removed.
While many of our members have left for the summer, many remain. The hours of the park remain the same, 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. We have added a few small wading pools to each park for the members to fill up for their dogs to enjoy. Please remember to empty when you leave and put the pools behind the storage bins, if you are the last person to leave.
The committee has put together a hurricane ready plan for the park. Each of the banners, signs, bins, tools and shade structures in the park will be removed days prior to the storm. We will post the hurricane ready notice on the dog park website for all to see. We will anchor the benches and chairs to the ground and fence. Once the storm has passed, and it is safe to return, we will post on the site that members can return once all the items have been put back and are ready for use.
See you at the park!
WOOF! WOOF!
