Donation of a DogPoo Container
at Dinosaur Park in Gold Canyon

On Saturday May 15th, 2004 the members of Gold Canyon D.O.G. –Dog Owners Group-; members of the community; Sandie Smith, Pinal County Supervisor for District 2; Marlene White-Miller, Co-Chairperson of the Gold Canyon Community Parks; and of course, all our four-legged friends, met at Dinosaur Park to have a very unusual Dedication Ceremony; D.O.G. donated a DogPoo Container for the Park!

Dinosaur Park was built entirely by volunteers and donations, however it is not an off-leash area for dogs; they must be on a leash. D.O.G.'s Mission Statement is to “Promote Responsible Dog Ownership” and this container will be very useful. Attached to the container is a special box so people can donate and recycled plastic bags.

We want to thank the community for the wonderful response to our project; to Sandie Smith for supporting our group and working diligently in trying to find us a suitable site for the off-leash doggie park; to Tommie Baca from Apache Junction, for building the wood containers and to Corky Wagner from Signs USA in Apache Junction for the beautiful signs he made (I know they gave us a great price for their work, thank you so much!)

We encourage subdivisions to have similar containers
in their walking paths
