Storey said that since the , many dog owners are now using Veterans Freedom Park to walk their pets. “We’ve got a tremendous outflow of out-of-town people there, and it’s gotten worse and worse up there,” Storey said.

Storey said he is concerned that dog owners are not cleaning up after their animals, adding that the cross country team uses the field for practices and meets.
