Dog park initiative gets more legs
The Hermosa Beach Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission voted on Tuesday, Sept. 2, to form a Community Dog Park Subcommittee that will work with City staff to gather information such as potential sites, cost estimate, funding sources, rules and enforcement strategies. Chairman Barbara Ellman and Commissioner Elka Worner will serve on the subcommittee. The subcommittee will also work with Hermosa Beach’s Bark for a Park community organization to present their findings before City Council.
