Our site has been selected at St. Mary's Park!

SBDOG had our first meeting with a Bronx Parks representative today. We discussed the potential dog park and selected a site for the park. Thus far the parks department has been extremely supportive of our quest for a dog run, and we very much appreciate all of their help. We are now awaiting final approval for the dog park from Bronx Parks Commissioner Hector Aponte! We anxiously await your decision Mr. Aponte!
