Lincoln Park's Dog Park Officially opens.

Does anyone know who to contact as far as the lighting at the Dog Park? Since it gets dark at about 4:30pm now the only issue I have with the new Dog Park is that there isn't enough lighting. I've stayed until closing several times already and it's not really a safety thing b/c the sheriff patrols the area pretty often-Just a fraidy cat . Thanks for any info. anyone can offer.

Maybe contact councilwoman Mary Spinello?  I know that Charlene Burke was also very involved in this, maybe she would be a good person to get in touch with as well.

I have to dog sit my parents' pooch in a few weeks. Where exactly is this dog run located within Lincoln Park? Thanks.

It's in the western part of the park, across Route 1-9 from the main part. To get there, enter Lincoln Park on Duncan Avenue just east of 1-9, hang a right and go past the running track. Turn right before the ballfields, take the overpass over 1-9 and follow the road to the end of the parking lot. The dog run is next to the stand of trees behind the soccer field.

This is a county park not a city park.

Is that why it was built so fast? And looks so cool?

You're a county park.

You forgot- dogs must be on leash at all times while in the dog run, in accordance with city law. 

Good to hear. This dog run got dissed in the JJ's article about the dog run amendment. How big is this one? I think we may have to check it out.
