What's the Problem? |
 |
|
Pet waste is not only unpleasant to see or smell (or step in), but is a major health risk to pets and people - and water quality!
There are an estimated 60,000 dogs in the Stark County area.
If the average dog produces just 3/4 pounds of waste per day, that means about 45,000 pounds of dog waste is being produced each day in our community.
Plain Township even has a Home Rule Resolution regarding animal waste, another good reason to pick it up!

| Veterans Park - Dog Park |
|
|
Visit the four-acre dog park at Veterans Park for a pet play date.
The dog park is on the east side of the park, along a group of trees that provides shade to park goers and their dogs.
This free-access dog park is open year-round and has a 1.5-acre section for small dogs (under 30 lbs) and a 2.5-acre area for larger dogs (over 30 lbs).
|
|
|
Lush green grass gives your pet the perfect playground to exercise, play with other dogs or just rest in the shade.
These areas are maintained by Township Maintenance staff on a daily basis and disposal bags are provided to encourage dog owners to clean up after their pet.

Please honor the Dog Park Rules to ensure a happy visit.
