Hello Everyone!
Its been a long cold winter, and I havn't been around much to keep the dog park information flowing. I'm working on finding a meeting time in early March to begin monthly committee meetings again and will post here, on FPF, our website and email list when that is set.
A Couple of people on FPF had noted that trash at the dog park seems like it is being emptied less often. This is probably true with the cold weather the volunteer crew that powers the dog park is probably visiting less often. The other problem is that the last time I was there, there was a partial filled trash bag in the bottom of the container that is FROZEN in, basically cutting the trash capacity in half, so it is filling up really fast. Please be courteous and find an appropriate place to put your dog waste (I believe the can inside the smaller pen is working at 100%). and PLEASE I urge you not to put other waste in the trash. Dog Park rules ban food inside the park so there really is no reason for anythign other than dog waste and broken tennis balls/toys to find their way in there.
We also are always recruiting for new committee members so if you want to help out at the park click the new "Sign up" link in the banner above or goto http://www.essexdogpark.org/volunteer
