The access road now has a Citizen Gate which is to be opened and closed by us, the citizens. However, if we are to keep this handy way of accessing the park, we need to actually use it properly.

That said, when you are the last one out, please close the gate behind you. We want to give the public that means the lower area harm the illusion of being a locked gate, something an open gate does not do.

It is on the bottom section of Chimborazo park. Just follow broad street east till it hooks a dog leg and heads down the hill (changing its name to Government road). You will see a road that is blocked to cars by a yellow chain. The dog park is down that road.

I can’t seem to find the address to this park – I’m new to the area.

We walked through the area yesterday and didn’t notice anything but we will definitely keep at eye out while there this afternoon (yes, we use it almost every evening, :).

That is pretty shitty. People have put a lot of hard work into the new park (it looks wonderful by the way) and then we have folks like this who intentionally damage the area. Hopefully no dogs will be injured…that would be horrible!

Intentionally spreading glass shards in the new dog park?! Absolutely disgraceful!! I wish I never read that.

Went to the dog park today, noticed that someone (probably kids) were in there breaking beer bottles in the small dog area. Glass everywhere!

Andrew, they will once word gets out its open and ready for use. Just give it time and before you know it the park will be overrun with dogs, : ).

I know me and my friends tend to leave our houses around 5:45 or 6 and get down there by 6:30 or so. I noticed more people are around during that time frame.

I’ve been three times in the past week and while there’s been a few dogs (anywhere from 1-6 at a time), I was hoping more people would utilize this WONDERFUL facility….
