COMMUNITY GARDENS AT THE DOG PARK STARTS TO TAKE SHAPE
THANKS TO DOG PARK MEMBERS & DELAWARE VALLEY GARDEN CLUB
Recently the Delaware Valley Garden Club donated a $2k memorial bench in the memory of Alice Furfaro, and a further $600 of flowers and shrubbery to the new Hancock Community Gardens, which are part of the Hancock Hounds Dog Park 501c3. The final gardens will feature bluestone walkways, the new memorial bench, and soon a 20 foot Pavillion with picnic tables. The Hancock Area Chamber of Commerce built and donated a custom Information Kiosk with a grant from Delaware County Economic Development, and the Dog Park received a Mee Foundation grant for $2500 to expand the Dog Park to include the new Large Dog Run which tripped it’s size from last year. The town of Hancock will be contributing the land via land license to the dog park, and bluestone as well as other types of bluestone from the Zahler family to make the walkways and trim the new pavilion columns. None of this would be possible with the generous spirit of the town board, the Mee Foundation, the Delaware Valley Garden Club and the Hancock Area Chamber of Commerce.!

OUTDOOR ACTIVITY
Most dogs are at their healthiest when they experience regular outdoor activity, that translates to less agression, outburts, and destructive behavior in the community!
REGULAR REST
Sleeping habits and noise levels can easily be regulated by regular acitivty. Does your neighbor have a noisy dog? Suggest they take them to the dog park. The best dogs are tired, and well exercised dogs.
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Both you and your dogs can enjoy a healthier and happier lifestyle, by having the option to visit the park when needed. Even if you don’t need it every week, having the option provides healthy exercise.
TRAINING
Dog parks provide a way for dogs to be easily trained and make the community a safer and more appealing place. This is also a possible job creation sector for the town.
JOB OPPORTIUNITIES
Towns are always looking for new jobs, and local dog walking and training services are easy additions to the town’s new job sector, as the dog park opens.
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
The dog park also creates wonderful new partnership opportunities for local businesses, advertisers, and state/federal grants that can bring business into town.
