Staff report

BOARDMAN

Boardman Park, 375 Boardman-Poland Road, is home to the Marge Hartman’s Paws Town Dog Park, the area’s only members-only dog park.

One-year memberships are available for 2016-17 and will be valid from the date of purchase through March 31, 2017.

The cost to Boardman residents is $40 for one dog and $10 for each additional dog. The cost to non-Boardman residents will be $65 for one dog and $10 for each additional dog.

Membership packets may be picked up at the park office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday in the outdoor literature boxes at the dog park or online at boardmanpark.com.

One-day passes also are available for $5.

Prospective members should bring the dogs’ shot records on a veterinarian’s letter head along with rabies and county tag numbers.

Paws Town opened in April 2014. The double-gate entry system allows members to unleash their dogs after entering but before interacting with other dogs. The lawn is well-maintained, and caretakers patrol the area several times a day and are just a phone call away.

The 3.25-acre, fenced-in park has separate fenced-in areas for large and small dogs, water fountains, a dog-wash station, benches, small shade trees, and dog-waste bags.

For information, call the park office at 330-726-8105.
