Help clean up the dog parks!

 
The South Loop Dog Park Action Cooperative has scheduled a whirlwind of late Summer/early Fall clean-ups for this upcoming weekend!! Hope you can join us to lend a hand. 

Here's the schedule:    

Saturday 9/20     3-5 PM         
                            Grant Bark Park
Sunday 9/21        8-10 AM
                            Coliseum Park Dog Run
 
Sunday 9/21        12 noon - 2 PM  
                            d’Angelo Park DFA

We'll be power washing the parks, and will be picking up trash, fixing whatever needs fixing, and generally making things look nice.  

We'll provide gloves, tools and refreshments!   
Please pitch in if you can, and tell your friends! 

Dogs are welcome, but keep in mind that we'll be using a power washer...

Fred Anderson Park


Here's how Fred Anderson Park looked earlier this week. We're still being given a mid-October date for the park being finished, but we'll see! 

Whenever the opening date is, we'll be the first to let you know!

We're planning a Grand Opening Celebration in collaboration with the nascent Fred Anderson Park Advisory Council that will have music, fun, and participation by many local businesses.

Watch for the announcement on our Facebook page!  
 

Thanks to Robin Romaine of West Town Walkers for this dog's eye view!!

Fall Events 


It's a-com'in!   



And watch for our indoor Mutt-Meetups, once the weather gets cold! 
 

Too much Dog Poop


We recently got a report from a SLDogPAC supporter: 
 
There has been an upswing in irresponsible dog owners at Coliseum Park Dog Run as of late. Too many people are not picking up poop, and, while I know it is not against the rules, there are several who bring intact males on a regular basis.

From our observations, it's true!  Particularly around the corners of the park you can always find a nice pile.... or two.  

Here's the thing: if too much dog poo ends up ground into the artificial turf, it will be ruined and eventually will have to be torn out. Bye bye turf! 

Thank goodness for Poo Angels!
