Town council is already dealing with a parking issue at one of its newest facilities.
The Town of Antigonish opened a dog park near Columbus Field on Friday and it’s been a hit so far. However, the most used parking lot for the facility, as well as for Club 60 and Columbus Field is getting a bit crowded. Mayor Laurie Boucher said it is a high use area with children using the playground, others wanting to use the tennis courts, soccer field, or track, and now there is the dog park.
Boucher said the plan for now is to reroute a lot of the parking over to the parking lot off of St. Andrew’s Street, adding it is a sign all of the nearby recreation facilities are getting used.
