Interior Parks:
Thanks to the efforts of the HDA, the City equipped its three dog runs with tool bins and a water supply (Summer 2004) and installed a separate area for small dogs only at the Church Square run (May 2005). We continue to work with the City on improving conditions in the runs, including constructing permanent shelters (Summer 2005).
Church Square *
4th - 5th Streets, between Garden & Willow
Includes a separate run for small dogs only.
Columbus
