Friends of Two Harbors Dog Park has received word regarding the Lake View Memorial Hospital property, which we were proposing be re-purposed as a year-round dog park location. It seems that the Lake Superior School District holds a lease on that property and may still have plans to develop it in the future.
We are happy to hear that the kids may be using the field again someday. We very much appreciate the time and effort that the Hospital’s Board of Directors spent investigating the matter. It was a pleasure working with the Board of Directors at Lake View Memorial Hospital and doing a presentation before them.
Temporary Location
Friends of Two Harbors Dog Park still plans to operate the seasonal Dog Park beginning in May of 2015! We have submitted our request for the renewal of our agreement with the City of Two Harbors to operate the dog park. There still remains the formality of the request going before the city council. However, we don’t expect any opposition to renewing the agreement. Nevertheless, we will be asking our dog park patrons to attend the Public Affairs meeting regarding the matter as a show of support. Unfortunately, we don’t know the date of the meeting yet. Meeting agendas are set only days before the actual meeting takes place. We’ll keep watch and post a notice as soon as we find out!
Friends of Two Harbors Dog Park has been very active in the “dog community” despite the dog park being closed for the season. We have been posting news and photos of our activities on our website and Facebook page throughout the winter. We’ve had some success with our recent sweatshirt fundraiser and have submitted a grant application to get additional funding for the dog park as well. We will also revisit some of the other sites identified by the City of Two Harbors planners this summer as possible sites for a year round dog park and decide how to proceed.
Thank you all for supporting Two Harbors Community Dog Park. We really appreciate your enthusiasm at the dog park, at home and on the web! Stay tuned for more news, articles and photographs to come. It’s gonna be a great second season at Two Harbors Community Dog Park! Always a howlin’ good time!
