Year in Preview: Dog Park at Red Mountain Park

The new Remy’s Dog Park at Red Mountain Park is scheduled to open in early 2014.

At opening date, the park will welcome area dogs with completed fencing and trails. The park will feature three designated areas to accommodate large dogs, small dogs and special needs dogs (elderly, shy, injured or recovering).

Drinking water, hoses for on-site baths and other “bells and whistles” will open at the park later, according to Katie Sullivan, park public relations coordinator.

Ken Jackson donated an initial $100,000 from his ‘Mac & Tosh’ Donor Advised Fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham to create the park, which is named after his late Jack Russell Shih Tzu mix, Remy.
