English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.
The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Partially or fully convert Sharon’s park to a dog park. The space is underutilized and gets trashed today. A monitored, cleaned, fenced in area would improve upon this and give residents an area to meet and socialize.
Who it helps and why
The area gets trash dumped on it and is completely underutilized. Creating a monitored and regularly cleaned fenced in dog park would improve the area overall and give residents an area to congregate.
