Compton: Sun City resident ‘dreams’ of cool place

Posted

For years I’ve dreamed of a cool, recreational place to take/walk my small dog during the approximately six months of very hot weather in our area.

In my “dream” I envision an air conditioned, spacious area with greenery, paths, benches for sitting, maybe a shallow pond for the doggies to romp in, doggy “stations” throughout for sanitary purposes, etc. Then I thought, “If some philanthropic owner of a vacant retail store (like the vacant Safeway in Surprise, etc.) would allow non-profit use of their property, my dream could become a reality!

So, here are my questions to our community. Would you pay a small annual fee toward utilities and upkeep in order to have a cool, friendly place to take your pup (and yourself) for fun and exercise in the hotter months? Would you be willing to volunteer a couple of hours a week toward maintaining such an area? Would you be on a committee to make this dream a reality?

If I find some others interested in this, I’d like to pursue the idea. What do you think?
