There has been some discussion about creating a dog park on Harris Road where the current "Fitness Area" resides. One of the biggest concerns is adding more capital responsibility to the neighborhood. In other words, if the WPOA pays for a dog park, it would also have to save money towards it's maintenance and replacement - all of which would cause dues to increase.
One idea is to have the WPOA give it's permission for a group of homeowners to construct and maintain a dog park. It would be funded by individuals, not the WPOA. There is a possibility of obtaining a grant, which would help, but it would still require a lot of volunteers and sweat labor.
If you are interested interested in helping please visit the "Dog Park" thread in the discussion section (https://sites.google.com/site/willoughbyneighborhoodva/discussion) and speak your mind. If there is enough interest, we might try to implement something.
