Parks & Recreation Department - City of Monroe, WA

Greetings Wiggly Field Supporters!

Volunteer Work Party
On Saturday July 12th, 2008, Wiggly Field Dog Park 25 volunteers worked on construction of Wiggly Field from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. We had two fence construction crews, a painting crew, a crew repairing the agility equipment and another crew spreading wood chips. All of the help was tremendous as we made a lot of progress. The Monroe Rotary Club supplied cold drinks and pizza for the volunteers. We had a lot of fun on a really warm day! The parks maintenance crew will work this week to finish preparations in time for the grand opening. See pictures!

Grand Opening Celebration
The Saturday July 19th, 2008 grand opening of Wiggly Field was a lot of fun for everyone who turned out. It is estimated that 50+ dogs were frolicking in the park with their owners. It was good to see some of you at the event. Thank you all for your support for the off-leash park. You can see the positive effect this will have on our community. Wiggly Field will be heavily visited by our residents and draw other visitors to Monroe, which of course is a good thing!

The Herald has this story in the July 21st, 2008 issue of the paper. The Snohomish County Tribune and Monroe Monitor covered the grand opening, so we can expect stories in their papers as well. The press coverage will help us spread our message that Wiggly Field is here and open to the public. See pictures!

We will continue to make improvements and plan events, with your support and others in our community. Please spread the word about Wiggly Field! Our parks and recreation staff will put up wire mesh along the wood fence within the next two weeks to contain wandering dogs. Our next highest priority is to raise funds to purchase a drinking fountain and pipe for permanent water to Wiggly Field. In the interim, please bring water for your dogs. The fundraising goal for the dog drinking fountain and pipe materials is $2,000. Please help us spread that word too.

Thank you all for your interest and support. This would not be possible without your generous time and donations. We will continue leading support and fundraising efforts for Wiggly Field improvements and other potential future off-leash areas for Monroe through Sno-Dog www.sno-dog.org with a Monroe chapter of Sno-Dog being formed by Katherine Staberow (thanks Katherine!).
