About 50 dogs and their people went to romp at Lower
Heidelberg’s dog park, which opened Saturday at the township building at Green
Valley and Brownsville roads.
The plastic wading pools were a hit in the big-dog section. Big, friendly dogs sniffed and circled while owners watched. Ever see the first day of pre-school? They ran around, chased balls and frisbees and each other. Ever see recess at an elementary school? No dog fights were
reported.
Township leaders set up a canopy to have visitors sign a
waiver and provide contact information. The township plans to contact interested dog owners about a meeting to
provide them with key-fobs -- little plastic strips with a code – to get through
the dog-park gate, when it opens regularly. There’s a $5 fee to get a key. And there's a LH dog park Facebook page.
To play, dogs will need to prove they have licenses and
rabies shots and that they live in Lower Heidelberg. The sign says open from 7 a.m. to dusk.
Christopher Leisey, a Boy Scout, built obstacles such as a
teeter-totter, hurdle and slalom course so dogs can practice agility skills.
