It's looking very good that The Village of Pinecrest will finally have a dog park. The Village of Palmetto Bay, a much younger municipality, has had a dog park for a couple of years now and it's a big draw for families with their kids and dogs. It's only appropieate that the residents of Pinecrest have one too.
On Sept. 14th, the Village Council will have its last meeting to discuss the issue. The park would be located at Veterans Wayside Park on US 1. I think it's a perfect location for a dog park.
Presently it's a park that is rarely visited. I don't believe I have ever seen a person enjoying this park. There is a lovely pond in the middle of it, perfect for a little dog bathing. As Cindy Lerner, the mayor, points out, 52% of respondents polled are in favor of it. The Village allocated the funds in 2009-2010 budget, but it keeps getting delayed!
So Pinecrest residents, get moving and attend this meeting and show your support for a dog park! There's many reasons that it should pass...great community builder, nice to have dogs run leash free in a safe environment, but mostly to me because it would bring people to a park rarely visited!
