Upon inspection of the Dog Park today, we found that someone had jammed sticks into the locking mechanism to keep the gate from locking. We are asking our general public to help us keep people from tampering with the facility so that we can keep our furry friends protected from pups that have not had their parents register them to play! If you see something suspicious, please call (812) 376-2680. Thank you!
