Survey says...
Our committee put out a survey in late 2025. We wanted to hear from our town residents and non residents alike. Surveys were posted throughout the town and shared via links at town events. The general consensus is that a a dog park is wanted and needed in our town and that thoughtfully designed dog park can be a small investment with a meaningful impact on community life!
