Armed with a multi-page proposal, including photos and a hand-sketched schematic, resident David Pethybridge proposed creating a dog park in an area adjacent to the Richard A. Zachariae Park at the Surf City Borough Council meeting last week. He came prepared with recommendations for some of the most frequently asked questions of who, what and how to run it.

“There’s a lot more dogs in this town, I think, that don’t have licenses than do have licenses,” he said.
