Stow Dog Park Open Early on Thanksgiving, Parking Lot Paved

Bow Wow Beach usually opens later on Thursdays, but for the holiday the park will be open at 9 a.m.

Whether you need your kids, spouse or dog out of the house while you're preparing for Thanksgiving dinner (and you don't want the dog to snatch up the Turkey like in A Christmas Story) you can send the whole family to Bow Wow Beach bright and early Thursday.

The dog park usually doesn't open until 11 a.m Thursday for routine maintenance. But for the holiday, the beach will be open at 8 a.m.

Send the family out to work up an appetite before feasting!

This week, two parking lot paving projects are proceeding for two of Stow's most heavily visited recreational facilities.

The parking lot at the dog park in Silver Springs Park was paved yesterday. The parking lot of the Stow Senior Center on Darrow Road will be paved today. 

"I am happy that these projects are underway and will make accessing these two very popular sites easier for our residents," said Mayor Sara Drew. "My administration is committed to providing recreational opportunities for our residents and ensuring that the experience at our public spaces is a positive one. I am especially pleased that the senior citizens who take advantage of the many services and programs offered at our Senior Center will soon enjoy a more accessible, safe and useable parking lot."
