Dog
Park Gets Tentative Home
The Culver City Human Services & Park
Commission unanimously passed a resolution at its meeting on April
2nd to recommend that "The Bone Yard" be reserved for a potential
site for an off-leash Dog Park. The City Council is not bound by the
motion, but it will be put before them at a meeting in the near
future. The resolution was passed after a presentation by the
Friends of The Culver City Dog Park, a non-profit community
group with more than 850 supporters, which is working to bring an
off leash dog park to the City.
The Bone Yard is the area in Culver Park
just south of the Nature Trail area where Duquesne ends, and where
oil wells were recently removed. Work is currently being done to
clear the land, but no plan has as yet been determined for the
area. Reserving the land for the dog park will allow the City and
the Friends to work together on planning the park, its funding,
rules, and design. The group has been raising money towards the
park's funding.
"This is an ideal place for a dog park", said
Vicki Daly Redholtz, Chair of the Friends of the Culver City Dog
Park. "It is in an already established park and would enhance the
services the City offers to the community. We are hopeful that the
City Council will support the Commission's recommendation as an
important first step towards establishing this long-awaited place
for dogs and their owners to meet and enjoy our parks". Currently,
dogs are not allowed in any Culver City Parks on or off leash.

City Dog Park, email

See’s Candies Completes Fencing Project at
Culver City High School
Culver City, Calif. -- See’s Candies has
recently completed a fencing project at Culver
City High School to replace the deteriorating
chainlink fence along the campus’ south end,
adjacent to Harter Avenue.
“The new fencing will make the campus safer
and more secure for our students,” said
Superintendent Laura McGaughey. “I want to
thank Dave Harvey and See’s Candies for the
many thousands of dollars they have donated to
Culver City High School and throughout the
district to make our schools better.”
Though See’s Candies does not release the
dollar amounts of its donations, the company,
based on La Cienega Boulevard just outside
Culver City, has made an enormous contribution
to the district over the last several years.
In the last year alone, See’s has painted the
exterior of Culver City HighSchool, purchased
the school office’s office supplies for the
entire school year, purchased thousands of
dollars worth of library books and made a
$10,000 cash donation to the school.
In addition, the company has replaced damaged
window louvers, purchased two sets of
encyclopedias and supported the school’s
yearbook.
Harvey added that See’s would continue to do
spot repairs on the fencing throughout the
campus as necessary and would continue to sell
candy bars to all of the district’s schools at
cost to increase the margins of fundraising
efforts at those schools.
“We are very fortunate to have See’s Candies
as a business partner,” McGaughey said.
