Why is there a membership fee?
The dog park is a non-profit organization, and is not run by the City of Beacon. Membership fees and donations fund the operating costs which include, but are not limited to:
- Cost of insurance
- Cost of supplies (dog waste bags, keys, tags, hoses, etc.)
- Cost of maintenance (grass cutting, landscaping, repairs to fencing, locks & plumbing, website hosting, etc)
