Good news from Newton
Posted on November 19, 2008 · Filed under: Elsewhere
Congratulations to the Friends of the Cold Spring Dog Park group in Newton!
The Newton Park and Recreation Commission has approved a proposal to designate part of an existing ballfield as Newton’s first off-leash park. The park will open for a nine-month trial period as soon as rules for off-leash recreation are posted.
From the news story, it sounds as though the process has been arduous, slow, and contentious. Hopefully things will go more smoothly in Maynard, but we should be prepared for a fight and/or lots of delays. In the end, however, a committed group of activists can make things happen!
