DC Gets its First Dog Park

Thanks to the 14th & You blog:

The City’s first off-leash dog park opens today at 11th Street and Rhode Island Avenue, NW. After the “leash cutting” ceremony this afternoon, you and your pooch can roam freely in the 15,000 square foot park, using the separate fenced in areas for pups under 25 pounds and for larger dogs. This freedom is, however, temporary. When the construction of the new Shaw School begins in June 2010, the park will close. For more information, consult the DC Department of Parks and Recreation press release here.
