For nearly a year, parks and recreation has been planning to put the citys first dog park at Citizens Park. But those plans were scrapped, and Glenn Parker, director of parks and recreation, said the city and the SPCA are now looking at developing a dog park near 10 acres next to the Willow Run Industrial Park that will one day be the home of a new SPCA animal shelter.
Aiken is very much an animal community -- horses and dogs and cats," Dr. Trey Wofford, a small-animal veterinarian, told the council. "We would like to establish an area here in the city closely accessible to the majority of the people where you could take your dog . off leashes and let them run. "

2008-08-24 No decisions on dog park Cedar Rapids, Iowa City
Weddington met with city parks officials Friday to talk about whether it makes sense to invest in the park, which floods frequently, or to create new dog parks elsewhere.
The flood left sand dunes, mangled metal and trash over the Cheyenne Off-Leash Dog Park in off Cedar Bend Lane SW. More than 800 dogs and their owners used the park before the flood.
No decisions came out of a meeting Friday on the future of the Cedar Rapids dog park, said Cindy Weddington, chairwoman of the dog parks user group.

At a recent Parks and Recreation meeting, Lake Elsinore residents said an off-leash dog park is one of the amenities that they would like to see added to the citys parks master plan.

Also, before you can say, "Look ma, no hands," just know that hands-free doesnt equate to attention-free. The Parking Assist Feature will most assuredly park your car. But it wont brake for any moving obstacle getting in its way. You still have to keep your eyes peeled for that dog, cat, or kid dashing into the cars path.
Theres another catch: this only parallel parks and it isnt quite fully automatic. Volkswagen only recently showcased its second-gen auto-parking system that will do vertical lots and doesnt even require a warm body in the car while parking.

2008-08-23 Parks commission cheers brewerys naming idea
Members of Fredericks Parks and Recreation Commission are on board with a proposal by Flying Dog Brewery to sponsor the citys first dog park, set to open next month.
At their meeting Wednesday, commission members unanimously approved the concept by the Wedgewood Boulevard beer company to donate usd. 5,000 to the city in return for dubbing the new park "Flying Dog Park. "
Roelkey Myers, the citys director of parks and recreation, said the cost of the park is closer to usd. 40,000, with brick columns, chain-link fencing, landscaping and amenities like water fountains and benches.
The Canton Dog Park is way overused. On the weekends, you have people coming in from the county to use the park, said Beth Christman, president of the Canton Dog Park. There is a lot of demand for dog parks, and very few of them available.
The idea for a closer pet playground came out of a Dundalk Renaissance Corp. open meeting a few months ago, when several local residents said they often take their furry friends to Baltimore Citys official and only dog park, in Canton.
