Dog Park at New Hampshire and S St. to Open Thursday at 4:00 PM

As I was walking around this weekend I passed by the new dog park the city is constructing at the triangle where New Hampshire, S St., and 17th St meet.  But it didn’t look under construction, it looked completely finished.  So today I called Jack Evans’s office to get the scoop.  As it turns out, it is finished, and there will be a ribbon cutting and “leash cutting” this Thursday at 4:00 PM.  The park looks great!  For reasons beyond my control I do not have a dog, but I may hang out here a little bit anyway to live vicariously through all the happy dog owners.  

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the people park on New Hampshire and T St. also opens Thursday.  More photos of the soon-to-be-open parks after the jump.
