It started with two dogs named Jack and Jill
Stu and Marilyn Baker kept getting thrown out of High Point State Park for letting Jack and Jill run off leash. After the last time, Marilyn asked Stu, "Why don't you start a dog park?" He said, "Why not!" The park opened in December 2006, built entirely with private donations.
