Whitehall unleashes development of new dog park
Breanna Brumfield likes the idea of a dog park in her Whitehall neighborhood.
The city held a ground-breaking ceremony May 12 for the new greenspace at the corner of Beechwood Road and Washburn Street.
“it’s a good stimulation to meet other dogs and it’s good for puppies because puppies learn how to socialize,” said Brumfield, who walks 10 to 15 dogs a day, including her own, Atlas, a 1-year-old German shepherd-husky mix. “It’s really cool.
“As long as everybody makes sure their dogs are friendly and heathy, that they know of when they go to the dog park, I’d say it’s a safe thing.
