Dog Park

The Commander's Action Line is a forum for the Ellsworth community to make suggestions or voice concerns about Ellsworth directly to Col. Mark Weatherington, 28th Bomb Wing commander. Below, he answers a concern in regard to creating a dog park on base. 

QUESTION
Hi, Is there ever a possibility of a fenced in dog park added to the base? I know there is a dog park way down town but it would be nice for one closer to let the dogs run free. I understand if not because of vaccines and etc. Just wondering!

RESPONSE
Thanks for your interest in a dog park--this question came up during my last Heartlink session as well. We identified this need and included it in the privatization housing plan. As such, it would be a contractor run facility, not a base service, operated by the company selected to build the next round of privatized housing. The project owner should be announced and the design review begin in late July. Construction could begin as early as next spring.
