Vernon Officials Recruiting 'Friends' For Dog Park

VERNON, CT — Officials in Vernon are looking for a group of volunteers for an advisory group for the Saxony Dog Park.

The park is located at West and Regan streets in the Rockville Section of Vernon

To gauge interest, the Vernon Parks and Recreation Department has scheduled an informational meeting for Thursday at 6 p.m.

"The Saxony Dog Park has been a great addition to our recreational offerings in Vernon and we have heard a
lot of positive comments from dog owners ," Mayor Daniel Champagne said. "Now we are asking park users to
take a role in supporting the dog park and advising the Parks and Recreation Department."

Topics the Friends of Saxony Dog Park might tackle include park rules, volunteering to benefit the park and
raising money to support the park, officials said.

"The Vernon Greenways Volunteers play an invaluable role in overseeing Vernon’s trail system and our goal is
to have a similar group of people focused on the dog park," Parks and Recreation Director Marty Sitler said.
"Park users are there just about every day and can help us monitor the park and ensure the best possible
experience for visitors."
