“A lot of people don’t understand the excitement a dog park can create,” Pepitone said.
The idea of a dog park has been a few years coming to fruition, and more recently delayed by COVID-19 and bad weather. The park is will be at Union Lake Park, at 1414 Canal St.
Recreation official Samantha Cruz said an opening is planned for later June or the middle of July.
Commissioner Bruce Cooper, who has overseen the project, said the mayor of Wildwood was a source of good advice on the concept.
“So, finally, we’ve had this come to fruition,” Cooper said. “I’m excited about it. A lot of people in the city are excited about it.”
ASWSU senators unanimously voted to approve Jack Maloy, junior history major, as an education senator.
Maloy said his first goal as senator will be to monitor the arrest rate of Black people in Pullman. He also wants to monitor the civil rights action plan created by the WSU Police Department.
His second goal will be to improve representation for student athletes on campus, citing the NFL’s My Cause, My Cleats program, which allows athletes to show support for disadvantaged or marginalized groups.
Maloy is currently the treasurer for ASWSU Give, a member of the ultimate frisbee team and men’s rowing team, as well as an employee at Southside Dining Hall.
