Resident urges quick fix after rusty nails found at Cheney dog park
Summary
At the May 13 Cheney City Council meeting, Chris Babcock told council members that rusty nails are surfacing in the city dog park and asked staff to expedite repairs; staff said they will try a magnetic roller to remove metal debris as soon as possible.
Chris Babcock, a member of the city park board and a private citizen, told the council the community is “concerned” that dogs could be injured by metal debris at the dog park and offered photos as evidence. “We have a lot of rusty nails that are coming up through the ground in the dog park,” Babcock said during public comment.
City staff replied that crews have discussed the problem and are planning to use a magnetic roller to collect metallic objects. “We will try to get on that as soon as possible,” a staff member said.
