Luis snapped this photo today while walking Lupe. The DC Department of Parks and Recreation is working on the new dog park in East Dupont at the triangle of 17th-New Hampshire and S Streets NW. (Online info and drawings here at DPR Web site.)
I have not heard anything new on the opening date other than “spring.” Anyone know anything more about a specific date?
BTW, what do we call it? Is it the “17th Street Dog Park?”
