		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, thanks to coordination between Claudine Malik of the Chicago Park District, contractors for Verizon Wireless, and board member Pamela Focia, twenty tons of fresh pea gravel were delivered to Grant Bark Park. We were able to have the north gate fencing removed so that the truck could back up into the park.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the two most common questions that people bring up is &#8211; &#8220;Why is the Grant Bark Park surfaced with asphalt?&#8220;.* A reasonable question.  The last thing I think any of us would propose de novo is to build an off-leash dog park that looks like the parking lot at your local mall: The <a href='http://southloopdogpac.org/2010/06/why-are-chicago-dfas-hard-surfaced/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

The best we know is this, from Janis Taylor of the Park District: I&#8217;ll check and get back to you but it is usually the first few weeks of April&#8230; 1st or 2nd week in April was the response.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to the CPD plumbing department, the central water at Grant Bark Park is now running off a mechanical timer. The timer was installed to address the longstanding &#8216;issue&#8217; of the water hydrant being left on 24/7 to run the improvised fountain at the center of the park. It works beautifully.

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, take a look at the drain installation at the Grant Bark Park: Look at the front of that drain &#8211; there is an obvious lip that extends above the surface of the surrounding asphalt, allowing water to pool and accumulate debris, bacteria, and parasites.
