Comments on: Does Tega Cay Need 2 Dog Parks? http://homesfortmill.com/tega-cay-news/does-tega-cay-need-2-dog-parks/ Fort Mill Real Esate, Tega Cay Real Estate, Rock Hill Real Estate, and Lake Wylie Community Info by Top Producing Realtor® Carmen Miller Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:46:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Stunnedhttp://homesfortmill.com/tega-cay-news/does-tega-cay-need-2-dog-parks/#comment-92 Stunned Wed, 20 Feb 2008 14:39:46 +0000 http://homesfortmill.com/tega-cay-news/does-tega-cay-need-2-dog-parks/#comment-92 It amazes me that for so long all you heard was 'what can we do for you?' or 'How can we make this better?' - and now, NOTHING! I think the city decided itself to make this big city politics - over DOGS! And, for any one questioning whether those dogs are always on a leash - drive by on a nice, pretty, sunny Saturday or Sunday afternoon. You'll find those pups running in the field and swimming in the lake. Just how you want to spend the afternoon..... making sure the dogs don't come near your kids. Keep up the fight!

I think we are all still in disbelief and shock from what came out of the meeting last night. It has always been everyones understanding that the Dog Park would be moved/relocated, never a second one added? Hopefully the residents of Tega Cay/Newberry Lane have been put off for the last time . (more info to come)First some members of council said the current park couldn't close bc there was no place to move the park-locations were researched and presented bringing on the "not in my backyard meeting". The next meeting was started with "there is no money to move the park" (do note that that was not ever mentioned before-just the opposite and I quote "you find a place and we'll move it". Now after 14 months of talking about this, City Council is presented with a WIN WIN plan: a park in a non residential area, NO COST to the city to be moved/installed-road, parking and fenced in park, and we find ourself still w/o a closing date for the park on Newberry Ln. What happened here?I expect an even stronger turn out at the next meeting and actions to take place long before before that date even arrives. Big town politics just hit us in small town Tega Cay. What is left to believe in when the dogs are more important then the safety of our children and the quality of life of the city residents? Thanks for listening.
