A public input session about the proposed Haddington Court facility happened Thursday at The Center of Clayton.
Clayton official Toni Siering recently toured a number of St. Louis-area dog parks as part of the city's efforts to develop its own canine facility. Most surprising to her: The variety. Some dog parks have elaborate water features or entryways, and others are subsets of larger open spaces. Siering is Clayton's superintendent of parks and recreation operations.

Supporters say the facility would be an asset, while opponents argue it would disrupt the neighborhood.
Supporters of a proposed dog park along a section of DeMun Avenue in Clayton are endorsing a proposal to pair the city with Concordia Seminary, which has offered part of its property as a possible site.
