The newly opened See Spot Run Off Leash Area in the Town of LaGrange will be formally dedicated at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The new facility is located in Overlook Park on Overlook Road off Route 55, just over the Poughkeepsie town line.
Read a story in today's Poughkeepsie Journal by my colleague John Davis.
This is the second dog park in Dutchess County. Fishkill's Friendly Paws Dog Park is on Route 52 in the town.
They are looking for donations to buy more benches and shade canopies. There is information on that in the Davis's article.
Have fun in the new park!

Another dog park possible in Dutchess County
Good news for the Town of Wappinger.
Councilman Vincent Bettina has proposed establishing a dog park in Castle Point Park. The town board recently passed a resolution that would enable the town planner to study the feasibility of a park there.
“There is a nice fenced in area that wouldn’t require much modification,” Bettina said. “It would be good to have a place where people can go and enjoy being with their pets.”
This would be the second park in Dutchess County, the first being in the Town of Fishkill.
LaGrange town officials are open to the idea of a dog park operating on town land adjoining the highway garage on Stringham Road, but they want to see if there is enough community support first.
The town is willing to fund most of the construction through the recreation fees, but want to $16,000 from residents toward the estimated cost of the fence.
The dog park in Fishkill is paid for completely by the town, though Supervisor Joan Pagones said a fee for non-residents is being considered.
I say, keep 'em coming. Hey, City of Poughkeepsie, are you listening?
