Champaign dog park opens this weekend

The Champaign Bark District (pun duly acknowledged) will open this Saturday, June 13. The dog park, located near the southeast corner of Windsor and Rising, has “a 4 foot fence, double-gated entry area, separate areas for large and small dogs, parking lot, and trash cans/dog waste stations.”

Go to the Champaign Park District’s website to download a membership form. Your pooch needs all their shots and tests before they can join up, and it’s $20 a year for your first dog for Champaign residents, and $6 a year for each additional dog. Here’s the full press release from last week.

So, what do you think, folks? Is it worth driving out to the country to get your dog(s) some exercise? Any Urbana users who are champing at the bit to cross over to the west side?
