Town of Colchester

Colchester CONNECTION
With the help of volunteers and generous donors, phase one of
the Colchester Dog Park, a designated off-leash area for dogs,
opened on July 18th. It is located at 89 Old Amston Road in
Colchester near the transfer station. The park is open to
Colchester and non-Colchester residents and their well-behaved
dogs.
The dog park is funded by citizens like you so donations are needed
to keep the park going and growing. You can contribute to the
dog park by sending a check to Colchester Parks & Recreation
c/o Colchester Dog Park or by purchasing a brick for the park
entrance walkway at www.brickrus.com/colchesterdogpark .
To learn more about the Colchester Dog Park, join the committee
or donate visit colchesterct.gov/dogpark or join their
Facebook group at http:groups.to/colchesterdogpark .
