Cranberry opens park to dog walkers
North Hills residents looking for new places to walk their dogs now can take them to North Boundary Park in Cranberry.
The township announced a pilot program that allows people to walk dogs along NexTier Loop, a paved trail that winds through the park, 1171 North Boundary Road.
The trail is adjacent to the disc golf course and the nature trails, where dogs have been permitted since 2019.
Dogs must be leashed at all times and are not permitted on sports fields, at the waterpark or the Crocodile Cove Playground.
Dog stations have been erected along the loop with pet waste receptacles and signs outlining protocols. The pilot program is scheduled to run through 2021, when township officials evaluate whether to make it a permanent feature.
Farmers market applications
Applications are open for vendors for the Cranberry Township’s farmers market. Starting June 4, the farmers market will take place 3-7 p.m. every Friday in the front parking lot of the Cranberry Twp. Municipal Building.
