Report from meeting with the Urbana Park District

Five of us met today with two Urbana Park District (UPD) staff members, Judy Miller and Derek Liebert. It was a very productive meeting! UPD is very enthusiastic about having a way to communicate better with the community and we are very enthusiastic about enabling members to better communicate with each other and with UPD.

We discussed rotating posters with information about park rules, dog behavior, and dog training, presented in an easy to absorb and friendly way.

We discussed the possibility of a kiosk as a location for park members to communicate with each other and with UPD.

We discussed maintenance priorities. If you have requests about maintenance items, let the group know (urbanadogs at gmail dot com) - we will communicate them to UPD, who are happy to have more “eyes on the ground” to know what's going on at the park.
