Public forum to discuss dog parks in BG set for Sept. 7

A public forum to discuss dog parks in Bowling Green is scheduled for Sept. 7, at 7 p.m., in the Simpson Garden Building, 1291 Conneaut Ave.

Led by Bowling Green State University professor, Dr. Shannon Orr, the discussion will focus on what amenities residents would like to see in dog parks, including landscape characteristics and how far people are willing to travel to access a dog park. The results of this and other upcoming forums will be used to inform a feasibility study being conducted by graduate students in BGSU’s Masters of Public Administration program.

The forum is sponsored by the Citizens for BG Dog Parks Committee in cooperation with the City of Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Department. More information can be found at BG Dog Parks or on their Facebook page.
