DOG PARK

Hi

The board is looking into a dog park in castlegate as your neighbors have suggested the problem or questions that arise, they are lookinginto it.

F.Y.I.

There is a free Dog Park on Ray & close to Market Street called Cosmo's, it has a great play area and a lake for the dogs to swim. If you going to Costco or any of the other stores in the area.

DOG MAGINAZINE say's it's the BEST Dog Park In America.

I know it seems a long way but its worth it.

Forgot,

It's free

I think a dog park would be a great idea. We have three dogs that don't get out much and that would totally fix the problem. We try to get up to Cosmos on Higley and Ray but it is just to darn far away to make it a daily event. We tried once a week and even that wasn't working. If we had one somewhere in the neighborhood that would be perfect. They could just roll it in with our HOA dues (if it wasn't so expensive already!) and have someone take care of it. If everyone were responsible enough to pick up after their dogs it would be no problem. But unfortunately, if you have been to Cosmos, most people don't care and leave the poo there. Anyways, great idea!
