MISSION STATEMENT:
To establish an off-leash dog park where dogs and their (owners/friends) have a safe, well-maintained area for recreation and socialization. To promote responsible canine care to Boyne area citizens and visitors who will uphold the park’s rules. To respond to the needs of a significant portion of the Boyne area population for a vibrant, play location for pets. The Boyne City Dog
Park is viewed as a canine complement to the town’s existing public parks. Location: The proposed Dog Park location is at the north end of town, near our DPW North Boyne yard, proposed to utilize the north and south side of Ridge St. This location is currently unused and undeveloped. The parcels are fairly level, generous in size, minimal neighboring home owners, near City utilities for water and future sewer connections with some mature trees already on the lots for shade. There are additional attributes that make this location desirable for this use. Volunteers: The City of Boyne City, through its Parks & Recreation Commission established a volunteer Dog Park committee who is willing to do much of the research and make recommendations to the Parks & Rec. Commission and the City Commission for consideration and implementation. They will also be responsible for fund-raising efforts to finance the proposed park and its elements. The committee which consists of community members, a representative of the Charlevoix County Humane Society, and members of the Leadership Charlevoix County program have already been hard at work narrowing down the location, drafting concept renderings, researching materials, cost estimates and will begin their capital funds campaign.
