7/21/13 - A lease approval by the Livingston County Board of Commissioners last week brought the Howl and Bark Dog Park one step closer to reality. The county authorized a property lease for the park to be located on the southern portion of Highlander Way, called McPherson Park Boulevard, in the countyâs West Complex. It will be situated on a 2.4-acre plot between the Central Dispatch and Animal Control buildings. The Friends of the Howell Dog Park recently received permission from the Howell Parks and Recreation Authority Board to use the site. Councilman Steve Manor tells WHMI securing a lease to the land will allow them to begin raising funds for the park. He estimates that they will have to raise about $35,000 to install a fence, gates, a paddock, water, and electricity for lighting. That amount will also cover the first year of operation for the facility, which will be called the Howl and Bark Dog Park. Follow the link below for the parkâs official website. (TD)
