Collegedale’s dog park is now open and ready for business.
“It’s been fun,” said organizer LaDonna Kolling. “I look forward to seeing what the next steps are.”
Now that residents can see the park and its benefits for themselves, Kolling said her hope is that they will help outfit it with running water and more benches. Until that time, bowls will be left in the area but dog owners must bring their own water for their canine companions. However, no glass containers of any kind are allowed.
“[Opening the park now] allows LaDonna and all her other folks to continue with the mission to get this fully operational,” explained City Manager Ted Rogers.
Small name plaques have been approved in order to honor donors of particular items.
