After years of fund-raising and a wait for Spring, the resurfacing of the Dog Park has finally been completed. The problematic bare earth, which was often too dusty or too muddy, has been replaced by gravel. The job was completed the weekend of May 15 & 16, 2004 by Moon Site Management, who completed the job in less than a week -- in much less time than expected.
"Tweaking" of various parts of the dog park were done in July, 2004.
Enjoy the pictures below of the resurfacing process and its aftermath, taken by Dog Association President Sharon Blumberg.
