CONWAY — The long-awaited community dog park moved closer to fruition Tuesday when selectmen — chair Steve Porter, Carl Thibodeau, Ryan Shepard, Peter Donohoe and Victoria Blake — unanimously approved the layout for the facility following a public hearing
The planned dog park, which will be located on town property off Thom Steele Way near the Conway Area Humane Society and a former septic lagoon, has been in the planning stages for more than a year and a half.
