Doggy play date Saturday

At the new Ada Dog Park

By Monty Siekerman
The Ada Dog Park Association has set another doggy play date, this one for 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 4 at the new Ada Dog Park.

The off-leash park for dogs is located near the end of East Lehr Avenue (turn east at the Church of Christ on Main Street). The large park has two fenced-in areas, one for small dogs and one for large dogs. There is a shelter house and water available. Bring balls or a Frisbee, if you wish. 

About a dozen dogs were on hand for the first doggy play date a couple of weeks ago for exercise, socialization, and just plain fun. They were of many breeds, ages, colors, and sizes there.
