DOG PARK COMMUNITY clean-up
On Saturday, September 25, we had an extremely successful Community Clean-up from 9am-12noon. Thanks to many of our regular dog park users and a contingent of volunteer Marines from the Naval Justice School (arranged by one of their instructors and a dog park regular herself) we were able to fill holes, pull weeds from around our new trees, put down mulch around the trees, rake some of the stones from the dirt around the entrance and so much more. The enthusiasm and energy of all the volunteers was extraordinary and the park looks great. BIG THANKS TO ALL!!!
