Pooches and their owners won't be exercising in the dark this winter at Burnsville's Alimagnet Dog Park now that an anonymous donor offered to light it up for them. The City Council approved the project Monday to install the lights by the end of the year, said Garrett Beck, Burnsville recreation supervisor. Digging for the project will begin immediately. The private donor offered to fund the $45,000 project several months ago after reading in the park's newsletter about the need for lighting. "It's a fantastic time because the days are getting short for lighting," Beck said. The park committee recognized two needs for improving the park: a better fence and lighting. The park got a new fence this year after winning a $10,000 award for being the third-best dog park in the nation according to Dog Fancy magazine. With park lighting, users can stay in the park until 10 p.m., instead of from dawn to dusk. |
