A few dog owners in Skaneateles have circulated a petition around the village asking about interest in establishing a local dog park at Austin Park.   We have over 150 signatures of villagers who support this effort.  We also have pledges for fully funding this park.  The main criteria for many signees is that they can walk to it.   Therefore that excludes the town’s offer of establishing a dog park at the conservation area on Old Seneca Turnpike.  Please spread the word as we plan to approach the town and/or village board with our request. We are interested in everyone’s thoughts and feedback.
