Several exciting improvements have been made over at the Oakhurst dogpark this week. Dan Magee, the City’s Active Living Director, said that he hopes the changes improve safety and make it a nicer experience for dogs and their owners alike. Much of the kudzu and privet has been removed and turned into mulch for the trails and a new fence has been installed to keep dogs out of the especially muddy areas. I visited the park tonight with my dog Lola, and even though I can never get her to look at the camera, I snapped some shots to show the changes. We had a great time, and really enjoyed the improvements. Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
