Dog Park

Posted Sunday, May 25, 2008 at 02:17 PM

Carson Times has a story on the effort in Carson City to get a dedicated dog park, somewhere that's fenced in where dogs can run off-leash without worrying about running away. Right now the few dog-friendly parks in Carson are also parks for people, and have no fences so your dog can run out into the street any time he wants. This new park would either fence off part of an existing park, or find an entirely new location where dogs could run. A group of dog owners has organized and raised a little bit of money, but it's just the start of the process and they have a long way to go before they'll see any results.

The article also has the list of dog-friendly parks in Carson City, where your dog is allowed off-leash as long as you clean up after them.

  • Fuji Park
  • Mayor’s Park
  • Carson River Park
  • Sonoma Park (before 4 p.m.)
  • Blackwell’s Pond Park
  • Steinheimer Park
  • Fulstone Park
  • Long Ranch Park
  • Ronald D. Wilson Memorial Park

Back In Town

Posted Sunday, April 15, 2007 at 01:10 AM

Yes, I'm back from my vacation, unpacking, decompressing and trying to get back into the groove. I came back to see some progress on a few construction projects, which is always exciting.

The arena at the Carson City Fairgrounds has been wiped out, part of the project to improve and update the fairgrounds. I know some of the plans for what should be done in this space were kind of controversial; hopefully everything worked out and everyone will be happy.

The Bodine's Casino, right next door, is starting to form up its pillars. This is supposed to be an underground parking garage, with the casino and restaurants above it. Bodine's is also footing a large part of the bill for the fairgrounds improvements.

And, in the two weeks I was gone, the Casino Fandango hotel went vertical in a big way. Looks like the whole first floor is all framed up, and they're just about ready to start on the second. Moving fast!

I'm sure there's a lot more that happened in the last two weeks. I have about fourteen newspapers I have to go through!
