Description

Press release from the JAX Chamber: April 26, 2022 The COJ Public Works Department has identified obsolete watercourse management construction pieces (concrete culverts, tunnels, junction boxes, etc) that will be placed at the park. These will become the play obstacles for Off Leash Dogs. They will also become the foundations for the mosaic. "The Springfield Dog Park is the perfect location for this kind of placemaking project," said SPAR executive director Kelly Rich. "It will contribute to the continued revitalization of the neighborhood and add a quality of life amenity within Historic Springfield that has been frequently requested by our residents." As with SPAR's past partnership with RouxArt on the 2019 Sesquicentennial Mosaic, the community will be invited to a series of workshops that will give them the opportunity to join in on the creation of public art. All Historic Springfield residents, as well as any members of the public, are invited to participate in the implementation of the project by attending any of the following free workshops (head to SPAR social media and website for specific details): RouxArt Studios = May 10 and 20 Springfield Dog Park = June 5, 10, 18, 21 And join us for Pooch-Fest: A Doggie Dedication Celebration on June 25, 2022!
