It’s official! Roger Williams University has finalized the process of the on campus Dog Park over the summer that is open to both students and faculty with the help of Facilities and Capital Projects along with RWU’s own President, Ioannis Miaoulis.

Last year, John Amitrano, the Assistant Vice President for Facilities and Capital Projects, stated, “The process has involved designing the space and reviewing it with our facilities team, environmental health and safety staff and others to create a dog park similar to those you find in other public spaces but one that is primarily designed for the RWU community.”

As stated in a previous article,  there would be leftover money in the budget to incorporate other aspects to the dog park. This money was used to extend the path of shells from shell path right up to the gate for the entrance and an informational sign was added as well. This offers a friendly and welcoming entrance to everyone that is either using it or planning on talking a walk down by the water. 

As a campus, we have a good amount of events each year, from sports games to parents weekend and also tours for incoming freshmen that invite family members and friends to our university, so having a space where you can let your dog roam free is now easier than ever. In addition to this, you do not have to leave your furry friends at home, because like you, they are welcome on this campus.
