Dog Park Location Selection
WEST VIRGINIA....
Members of the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District are focusing on land behind the Ritter Park tennis courts as a possible permanent dog park.
Known as the Lion's Den, the two- to three-acre site is not used and has some overgrowth. But, it may be large enough for two large dog areas and a small dog area and is close to the main amenities offered by Ritter Park, including water fountains, parking and bathrooms.
Board members have spent the better part of a year trying to lock down a location and say this is the only site the committee is working on. They say it is important for the community at large to know that support for a dog park is growing. A fund as been established through the Foundation for the Tri-State, which has already garnered multiple donations.
