The next summer my wife approached the Graham Recreation and Parks Commission with a proposal to build a dog park along with over 1,000 signatures we had gathered from people in support of the idea.  The Commission put together a working group to look further into the park, and that group, working with the Recreation and Parks Department have come up with the park now under development.

It has been a long time in the making, but we are now ready to see the park become reality.  All that is left is raising the money necessary to build the park.  I know that we will achieve our goal and build the park that our dogs and our community deserves.
