Some of you may have noticed that a new tree was recently planted at Puptown. The tree is a River Birch, known for its exfoliating bark, pest resistance and distintive look in winter. Located at the southeast corner of the park, it is a gift in memory of David Wallace and his dog, Tyler.
Another gift from David's friends and family will be a second entrance at the Northwest corner of the park (adjacent to the shed). As Puptown has become more popular, increased crowding at the entrance has become a problem. To reduce the ensuing risk of dog fights, a second entrance was proposed by the Puptown Dog Owners Group and approved by the Chicago Park District.
Below are the drawing plans (click to enlarge). The entrance construction should begin soon.
We thank the friends and family of David Wallace for their generosity. The park will be a better place because of them.
