Emma's Run is closed for rest
and rehabilitation for a while.
16 April 2008 - Landscaping
by Master Gardeners
The entry area at the Thornberry
Off-leash Dog Park needs
help, and the local Master
Gardeners have offered their
expertise. Come help plant
that area on Saturday, 31
May. Use the volunteer form and
email it to the JC DogPAC board.
Here's the gardening
plan so you can see what
we'll be planting.
18 March 2008 - Lucky
Paws Playground is CLOSED
Due to wet conditions and
soft grounds, the Lucky Pawz
section of the Thornberry
Off-Leash Dog Park is closed
until further notice. The
other two sections of the
dog park (Emma's Run and
Linder Tire Small Dog Yard)
are open for use by all
dogs.
13 March 2008 - Exit gate
from Lucky Pawz Playground
During the most difficult
time of ice blocking the gates
at TOP, some well-meaning park
users locked the exit gate
from the Lucky Pawz Playground
with a combination lock. While
that did serve to keep dogs
from escaping through gates
that would not stay closed,
a combination lock is not appropriate
on a public structure. The
city will remove the chain
and put up signs asking people
to use the other gates.
DogPAC and the city have
talked about putting a different
closing latch on the gates.
You'll see those new latches
later this spring.
13 March 2008 - Poop tank
and stacks update
The city was able to pump
out the poop tank in the
Lucky Pawz Playground. The
stacks into which you put
the green poop bags are still
clogged, so don't try to
use them yet. Thanks to city
staff for their work at TOP.
10 March 2008 - Poop tank
and stacks
The poop stacks to the in-ground
poop tank in the Lucky Pawz
Playground are clogged. City
staff were at the park this
morning trying to unclog the
stacks. They were unable to
do so. Ice is blocking the
manhole lid that gives entry
to the tank. Until the weather
warms enough to melt the ice,
the city has bagged the stacks
so people will know not to
use the stacks. They also put
trash cans next to the stack.
The city will empty those cans
daily. Please do your part
by putting dog poop in the
cans for collection.
