In a corner of J. Hood Wright Park in Washington Heights, you will find a little getaway for dogs. It's also where you'll likely find the latest New Yorker of the Week. NY1's John Schiumo filed the following report.
Retired electrician Tony Speranza doesn't get paid to maintain a dog run inside J. Hood Wright Park, but he does whatever it takes to keep things running.
"It means the world to me," he says. "It means that the dogs in the neighborhood, my dogs, can run around, get recreation and play with each other, and basically be a dog for an hour a day."
Five years ago, the run was run down. Tony lobbied the Department of Parks and Recreation for funding, and he got it. It now has a stronger fence with a concrete foundation, a water fountain and better gravel for the dogs.
Tonys efforts didn't stop there. He doesn't own any dogs anymore, but he makes sure the run is in the best shape possible for his four-legged friends in the neighborhood. He addresses concerns at community board meetings and defends the run's presence in the park. There's a monthly breakfast and a costume party every Halloween. He's created a community in the Heights.
"Community merchants, dog owners, people in the community have a sense of pride about being together and working in a true collaborative way, and we owe that to Tony," says Janet Wise-Thomas, a friend of the J. Hood Wright Park Dog Run.
Of course, if you ask Tony, he says he doesn't do much at all.
"I change the garbage and clean up a little," he says.
Friends of the dog run, though, will agree to disagree.
"No, no, no. Tony's here every day making sure the dog run is kept up and maintained," says Jenny Goldstein, a friend of the J. Hood Wright Park Dog Run. "He's the reason that we have this beautiful dog run."

NYer of the Week: Tony Speranza Maintains Dog Run Inside Manhattan Park
RALEIGH The N.C. Division of Coastal Management has awarded nearly $600,000 to eight town governments, including two in Carteret County, for projects to improve public access to coastal beaches and waters.
The list announced Thursday by Gov. Pat McCrory includes Atlantic Beach and Morehead City.
Atlantic Beach received $66,532 to replace and construct an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) -compliant walkway and dune crossover.
Morehead City was tapped for $200,000 for the construction of an open pavilion at an existing waterfront park known as Jib Plaza.
Local governments continue to show a tremendous interest in providing and improving public access to North Carolinas beaches and waters, Mr. McCrory said in a statement. I am thrilled that the state is able to help them achieve this goal.
Atlantic Beach plans to use the grant to rebuild the existing public beach access on Charlotte Avenue, extending it closer to the beach and making it ADA compliant. David Walker, town manager, said the existing wooden walkway there has steps rather than a ramp and isnt ADA compliant.
The town staff doesnt want to disrupt use of the walkway during the spring and summer seasons, so work on the access will begin after Labor Day. Another project, however, will begin this month.
Atlantic Beach had previously received a $33,630 CAMA grant Feb. 1, prior to the list announced Thursday, which it will be using to build a new boardwalk for the public water access on Money Island Drive. Mr. Walker said this project will be done this month and into May.
Meanwhile, Morehead City plans to use the $200,000, along with a $407,000, five-year, zero-interest loan from North Carolinas Eastern Region, the 13-county economic development agency based in Kinston, to cover the construction costs of the planned 6,000-square-foot platform over the water.
The deck is to be built directly south of the first phase of the project, the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament sculpture and fountain constructed in 2013 on the triangular or jib sail-shaped, city-owned parcel at the east end of Shepard Street.

The end is in sight for the revitalization of Kelowna's main downtown street.
According to City Hall, the first layer of paving is underway on the final phase of the $14 million Bernard Avenue revitalization, which marks the completion of utilities and the commencement of streetscaping and landscaping work.
"Its your last chance to walk in the middle of the road when walkways temporarily shift from next to the buildings onto the middle of the newly paved road for the final time," says the city in a news release issued Friday.
The city is reminding residents businesses are open as usual and accessible with corridors from the centre of the road to each business entrance, minimizing disruption to pedestrians and business accesses, while allowing for the removal and reconstruction of the sidewalks.
The water main and storm systems are now complete and we are looking forward to the sidewalk construction and proceeding to the final steps of the project, said Bill Berry, design and construction services director.
New trees, benches and the installation of the last light standards will complete the consistent look of Bernard Avenue from the Sails to the Gateway at Richter Street.
The extensive improvements will see four lanes narrowed into two lanes and a centre turning lane, expanded outdoor retail and cafe space, wider sidewalks for pedestrians, street furniture, intersection plazas, landscaping and replacing of utilities.
Final paving, finishing work and permanent road markings of the previous phase between St. Paul Street and Ellis Street will occur this spring in conjunction with completion of the current phase between Ellis Street and Water Street, scheduled for June.
If you havent seen the construction downtown youve got to stop by, visit your favourite business and check out how things are constructed before its all done, said Berry. Its really an attraction in itself.
Meanwhile, the Downtown Kelowna Association is running its Great-Big-Bernard-Giveaway contest, with a $500 prize drawn every three weeks, during the construction. Visit Downtownkelowna.com for more details.

Since its 2007 acquisition as a state park, the 1880s landmark outdoor attraction Chimney Rock Park ( http://bit.ly/N0Yw5U) has been undergoing repairs and changes. After suffering a washed out road, a trail bridge destroyed by a land slide and an elevator that wouldnt elevate the big news for 2014 is everything has been fixed and fixed up. That includes trails where old boardwalks and steps are now updated walkways to awesome vistas.
Specialty hikes and walks ( http://bit.ly/1h6OwS5) scout out rare species, hike to the peak of the park and, in summertime, hike across the highest parts of the park.
With such great scenery, you dont have to be hiker. Start at the Old Rock Cafe and Medinas Bistro (both accessible to public parking) and stroll down the riverwalk, beside the Rocky Broad River, a nice natural walkway with a stone bridge, and access to shopping. Between Chimney Rock and Lake Lure, stroll The Flowering Bridge, a classic old highway bridge now devoted to pedestrians and flower gardens ( http://www.lakelurefloweringbridge.org).
You cant visit Lake Lure and miss Chimney Rock Park, so why not eat at Old Rock Cafe ( http://bit.ly/1lOmlwS) at the park entrance overlooking the Rocky Broad River? The menu starts with burgers from local grass-fed beef and includes produce, local jams and more.
When expensive isnt the goal, but great food and a view are, La Strada at Lake Lure ( http://www.lastradaatlakelure.com) satisfies with tasty Italian fare and a lakeshore view and outdoor dining that revels in the areas A-plus scenery. Point of View Restaurant ( http://www.thepointofview.com), a longtime Lake Lure eatery is in new hands but still the place for upscale, casual dinners with a view, seven nights week.
The landmark Esmeralda Inn ( http://www.theesmeralda.com) has burned down twice during its more than 120-year history as a stagecoach stop, post office, and hideout for silent film stars. The newest (1996) version retains the historic atmosphere of old and one of Chimney Rocks best eateries, with three delicious meals a day and Sunday brunch (the restaurant is closed Wednesdays).
Theres no better way to appreciate the area around the lake than a ride with Lake Lure Tours ( http://www.lakelure.com/activities), a guided one-hour tour boat excursion with a dose of history and great views of film locations including the lakeshore scenes for Dirty Dancing. Randy Johnson
