On Saturday, June 6th, major construction of the dog park began with the installation of the water line. Thanks to the immense generosity of Grant Perry of Perry Excavation, we wrangled hundreds of feet of ornery PVC pipe into a trench for the dog park's water line. It was a messy and exhausting job, but thankfully the temperature was in the 60s, not the 90s!
On Saturday, June 27th, we started constructing the fence. Work began at 7:00 a.m. and ended promptly at 4:00 p.m. Well, not exactly at 4 because our volunteers were so eager to get the fence up the first day it was hard to get them to put down their shovels. Amazingly, we'd finished over three quarters of the fencing by the end of the day!
Later in 2009, about 15 volunteers showed up on a soggy Saturday morning in December to spread mulch, erect a new canopy, and plant 23 trees within the dog park.
