Dog lovers of Fire Mountain–don’t give up!
We may not get our Reservoir Dog Park this year at the Water Tower on Fire Mountain Drive, but there’s still an under-the-radar park we can all run and play in. It’s Joe Carassco Park, down by the tracks (almost). And here’s an interesting tidbit I just learned: the reason it’s a park is that Dunstan (of Dunstan street) built some of those houses on fill–and eight of them slid off their pads. Since the ground was unstable, voila! We got a park!
