Dogs have a new place to explore.

Dogs are now allowed in Vernon’s Polson Park on-leash as part of a two-year pilot running until fall 2019.

“The city will be installing five bag dispensers and new signage,” states a release.

“In the spring, the drinking fountain by the pavilion will be upgraded to include a pedestal that both people and pets can use.”

Starting in late November, residents will be able to provide their comments related to the trial at www.engagevernon.ca.

“Over the next two years, the city will monitor the comments and will use that feedback to determine the future of the program at the end of the trial in 2019,” states the city.

The city would like to encourage dog owners to use the new bag dispensers installed throughout the park to clean up after their dog.

“Used bags should go into one of the eighteen garbage cans throughout the park. The garbage collection for this park is twice a week in the winter months and daily in the summer months,” states the release.
