With the approval of Bluffton Village Council, a local group will continue planning and fundraising for a new dog park, with construction set for spring.

At the October 21 Council meeting, Councilor Ben Stahl reported on a series of meetings held by the Parks and Recreation Committee with Matthew Ellerbrock, a local resident who has been exploring the idea.  Stahl stated that the park is proposed for Village-owned land on Lake Street, but would be built entirely with donations.
