The grand opening began at 10 a.m. at Hazel Woods Park on West Lower Springboro Road.

The park will be known as Logan’s Bark Park and will serve as a way for the community to honor Turner’s life.

Logan’s Bark Park was originated by a second grade class at Five Points Elementary.

With the help of their teacher and Turner’s mother, the idea of Logan’s Bark Park was born after learning that Turner loved dogs.

The class typed proposal letters, submitted them to the city council and the council voted in favor of the idea Feb. 6.

My journey at WHIO-TV began when I took a summer internship on the Breaking News Desk in May 2019. At a young age I quickly realized I had a passion for writing and the power words can have on our lives. Seeking opportunities to give those who feel voiceless a place to be heard is what drives me each day and reminds me why I began writing.
