Girl Scouts Want Napoleon Dog Park

A park in Napoleon may soon be going to the dogs.

The Cres­cent News reports that the Napoleon parks and recre­ation board has approved a rec­om­men­da­tion for the plan­ning and con­struc­tion of a dog park.

Rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the Girls Scouts of West­ern Ohio and Napoleon have pro­posed that a dog park be built at East River­downs Park in Napoleon.

The Girl Scouts would like to see the park mea­sure 100-feet by 280-feet with a 5-foot high fence and a double-gated, lock­able entry, with a card-swipe or key fob entry sys­tem. Those who would like to use the park, accord­ing to the pro­posal before the board, would be required to reg­is­ter their dog and pro­vide doc­u­men­ta­tion of licens­ing and vac­ci­na­tion before being issued a key or card to the park.

The Girl Scouts have received a grant and plan to use it and pri­vate dona­tions to fund the project.
