Special Thanks
Thank you to the many generous supporters, the City of Fitchburg Parks Department staff and the Fitchburg Dog Park Advocates (FDPA) for helping to make this park a reality. Special thanks to Jake Johnson for leading this community project, and to these FDPA members for dedicating hundreds of hours of volunteer time: Rachel Burnham-Holdener, Amy Steger, Diane Streck, Laura Portz, Sandy Otto, Marty Semple, Holly Hein, Patrick Cheney, Amy Good, and Gretchen Crook.
The park kiosk was made by Zakry Esch as his Eagle Scout project in 2017, with help from his mom Amy, Randy Baldwin, Daniel Enderich, Eric Eikenberry, Gerry Tift, Dennis Spoerl and the Boy Scouts and parents of BSA Scout Troop 11. Zak would also like to thank Brunsell Lumber and Mill Work, Home Depot, and The Wood Cycle for donated items.
