Final Project Example

Oxford may create a new dog park, in part because of complaints about dogs running loose at Lamar Park. "We feel like it would be a good idea if people had a place for this animals to go and run," says Oxford mayor Pat Patterson.

Numerous complaints about dogs at Lamar Park caused the city to start enforcing a stricter leash law. Last month, a woman at the park was knocked down by a dog and broke her wrist. That incident "was the straw that broke the camel's back," said Oxford Police Chief Mike Martin.

"A dog park would be beneficial to dogs and dog lovers," said Oxford resident Kesha Rena. "Oxford is in desperate need of a place for dogs and their owners to go and relax and have fun, especially considering the new leash laws. "

Currently, 1,000 acres of land has been set aside for a dog park next to the Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society located on McElroy Road. City officials want to work with the Humane Society to build the park, but no timetable has been set for approval.
