After town officials confirmed a location for the future Coventry Dog Park in September, organizer Lisa Finneran has been busy making plans for construction, landscaping, fund-raising and other aspects of the undertaking.

A committee of local residents will organize and raise funds for Coventry's first dog park.
In the near future, Coventry dog owners will no longer have to travel out of town to allow their dogs to socialize with other local canines in a public setting. Following the August 20 Town Council meeting at which residents Lisa Finneran and Kathleen Levett approached the Council during public comment about their desire to have a dog park in Coventry, town officials agreed to meet with them to discuss the possibility. Finneran and Levett came prepared with answers to numerous questions that might be asked of them when they met with Town Manager Tom Hoover, Town Council President Gary Cote, Vice President Kerry McGee and Parks and Recreation Director Guy Lefebvre last week.
