“Properly trained, a man can be dog's best friend.”

It has been a long time coming, but the Lake Gregory Dog Park is about to become a reality! Additional news and information about the upcoming Lake Gregory Dog Park will be posted here, so please check back often for updates.
We would like to send a huge thanks out to Supervisor Biane for approving the dog park and allocating $200,000 for the project! Also, we'd like to thank Tom Potter for setting aside the land for our four-footed friends. We could not have made the dog park a reality without you!
Update from Doe Huff- December 26, 2007
Clarification on Budget for the Dog Park
The press release by Supervisor Biane's office (see announcement below dated July 10, 2007) was written in a way that implied that entire $200,000 was going to be allocated to the dog park. The reality is that he did not allocate $200,000 for the dog park; it is mostly for improvements in fencing all around Lake Gregory. The allocation for the dog park is more like $25,000. All of the pledges received are being held by Ms. Huff as she waits to see exactly what the county will pay for and what the donations will be needed for.
Revised Dog Park Groundbreaking Dates
At the last Municipal Advisory Council meeting, Marshall Riley, Superivsor Biane's representative, said that the bids received on the dog park were over the county estimate and that the project would be sent out to be rebid. At this time it looks like the dog park will not be moving forward until Spring of 2008.
From County Supervisor Paul Biane - July 10, 2007
Board approves funding for Lake Gregory Dog Park
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a $200,000 allocation for the planned Dog Park at Lake Gregory that will give frisky Fidos a place to roam freely.
Chairman Paul Biane, who represents the Crestline communities as the county’s Second District Supervisor, requested funding for the dog park from the Board’s discretionary projects budget. ”Many residents enjoy walking their dogs around the lake, but there’s no where for them to legally let their pets roam without a leash,” Biane said. “At the new park, dogs will be able to run leash-free in an enclosed area with other dogs their size.”
The dog park will feature wrought iron fences and separate areas for large and small dogs. The 21,600 square-foot park will be located about 100 feet from the popular Lake Gregory Fitness Trail near the east end of the South Beach parking lot. In addition to the dog park, Regional Parks plans to replace dilapidated chain link fence along the lake edge with wrought iron fence.
Regional Parks estimates the dog park and the fencing improvements will be completed in about five months.
