Dogs barred from South Burlington dog park due to neighbor's complaint
SOUTH BURLINGTON - A dog park closed on Thursday following a neighbor's complaint that the newly created space was making life intolerable, but there may still be hope of a new location.

Shepard Lane properties like Dickinson's are on a dead end that abuts Jaycee Park.
The city wanted dog parks on its own property, according to City Council member Meaghan Emery. A former dog park was on land reclaimed by the University of Vermont near Centennial Woods and then on June 1, 2017, the Burlington International Airport closed the Community Dog Park on Kirby Road.
