PARMA HEIGHTS, Ohio — After more than a decade of planning and community advocacy efforts, the cities of Parma and Parma Heights are celebrating the opening of their first-ever joint dog park. The project was made possible through a partnership between the cities of Parma and Parma Heights, Cuyahoga County and the nonprofit Parma Area Dog Park Association. Parma and Parma Heights each received a $50 thousand grant from Cuyahoga County to help fund construction. I want to thank Parma Heights Mayor Gallo, the members of both Parma City Council and Parma Heights City Council for their support and collaboration throughout this project. —The Parma Area Dog Park Association says it plans to continue fundraising for future improvements, including additional amenities and shaded areas.
