Dog Park Days May Be Numbered

Lost in the hubbub re: the Coeur d’Alene School Board’s decision to sell excess property, including Person Field, is the implication the move has for Central Bark, the dog park in the Northshire area. In the Coeur d’Alene Press today, Bob Macdonald, the chairman of the Kootenai County Dog Park Association, laments that the popular 1.8-acre dog park is included in the 10-acre piece of Coeur d’Alene School District property that will be placed for sale among the excess property. Central Bark is located at Atlas and Nez Perce roads. Macdonald said: “I’m certainly disappointed. That’s one of the most popular dog parks we have.” The city of Coeur d’Alene also has a dog park on Cherry Hill.
