FARMER CITY — From the fenced-in field at South Park to the tracks at the Salt Creek camp website, Farmer City has no lack of areas where dogs can stroll around and blow of steam.
“However,” Mayor Scott Testory says, “even good boys and girls need to potty and having a dog park will be far more conducive to keeping our other areas clean.”
He’d understand, being a routine at one of 2 dog parks in close-by Normal with his going-on-4-year-old black laboratory, Tess Testory, and having actually subjugated the concept of including such a space to Farmer City for the last year-and-a-half.
“A dog park is a simple, low-cost amenity that adds family value to our community,” says Testory, checking off the list of advantages, consisting of the capability for “those who don’t or can’t walk their dogs great distances to bring their dogs out and enjoy the park.”
Residents who wish to weigh in on the possibility of including one — possibly in the big open space simply south of the play ground near the South Park entryway — are welcomed to participate in a council conference on the very first and 3rd Monday of the month.
Says the mayor, who sounds offered: “There’s no downside to putting in a dog park.”
