Noma Bark Park: March 2010 Update!
The
site of the proposed NOMA (North Main) Dog Park has been moved to
Earlewood Park. The change in location came about because DOT denied
our request to put the dog park on the ROW land that lies between River
Drive and Park Street. This area is leased to the City of Columbia but
has a clause that no permanent structure can be built in the ROW. As a
result of the DOT decision, Parks & Recreation recommended the
location of the dog park be moved to Earlewood Park. The proposed new
location is located near the North Main entrance to Earlewood Park in
the center of the walking trail.
The
amenities at this location will include two separate areas for large
and small dogs, waste stations, benches and a safety holding area at
the entrance to the dog park. There is ample parking just across the
bridge. The fenced area will have approximately 2 acres for dogs to run
and play.
Rebecca
Spratlin, the chair of the NOMA Dog Park committee, says, “We continue
to push forward on the dog park and hope to have it completed by late
Spring or early Summer.”
