A dog park may be coming to Meridian

With the city’s push to build new parks and update existing ones, one resident told city leaders… don’t forget about the dogs. In today’s city council meeting, the resident told leaders that dogs also need a place to play in Meridian.

“I’m just proposing that we open a dog park here in Meridian. Several cities in the state have one already. It’s something that we’re severely lacking here. It’s something that we can use to have our dogs socialize with each other and exercise freely without bothering other people as well.”

The mayor and council members liked the idea and said the City of Meridian’s Parks and Recreation Department will start planning a project.
