Dog Park Proposal to Go Before Stafford Zoning Board

STAFFORD, CT — An active volunteer group seeking to establish a dog park in Stafford is set to make a presentation to the Zoning Board in early July.

The Stafford Bark Park has been proposed by a committee of residents, and a Zoning Board meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 9 at 7 p.m., either at Town Hall or the Stafford Senior Center.

Vice president Dan Breer said, "We need all the help we can get with people in favor showing up."

Plans call for the park to be located to the left of the senior center on Route 190, or Buckley Highway, Breer said.

A Facebook group of park supporters has already had over 500 members join in a short period of time.

"We have had so many people who want this park to happen - so many have offered to be a volunteer - this is an important step that you can take a part in," Lauri Sabatasso wrote on the page.

A design by Dani Lewis has been chosen as the park's logo.
