( Hero dog risks its life to save another dog.)

On the right side of my blog entries you can see recent comments. Normally the comments are all from entries on the front page of my blog. But of all the entries I have written in the archives the entries on the dog park in Simi Valley continue to get attention. I have been blogging to support the dog park and asking park board members on the progress of opening a dog park for years.

This Saturday a dog park finally opens in Simi Valley.

Way to go Park Board! If I don't make the ribbon cutting ceremony I will be taking my dogs there soon. Thanks for making this plan a reality.

Any of you plan to use the dog park?

Kate O'Brien is a member of the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District. She has volunteered to answer questions from my readers.

Kate, thanks for making yourself available to all of the readers.

My first question:

What is the status of the proposed Simi valley dog park? I have heard about it for years but how far along is the plan?

UPDATE: I have restored all earlier comments. I just wanted Kate O'Brien to be able to start on questions directly related to her position before she responds to questions. So, now she can answer questions about the Libertarian Party, drug laws, and squaring her small government beliefs with being a member of a park district.
