Bow Wow Beach Opens for Season

Today marked the official opening of Bow Wow Beach, Stow's dog park, for the 2013 season.

The park is open from 8 a.m. until dusk, daily, except for Thursdays. Bow Wow Beach is usually closed until 11 a.m Thursday for routine maintenance.

The chilly weather couldn't keep folks and their pups away from visiting for the first time since the park closed in the fall.

The park closed on Dec. 2, 2012 because conditions are hazardous in the winter months. Now, the lake has thawed and pups are encouraged to play in the park. 

New at the dog park this year is a paved parking lot — it was finished in November.
