Last week’s coyote attack that occurred outside of Fairmont Park prompted parks director Rod Meredith to make an appearance at Monday’s Riley County commission meeting to address concerns about the safety of the park
According to Meredith, the dog had run away from its owner and was nearly a mile east of the park when it was fatally attacked.
Also, Meredith said the owner was not injured by the coyotes while attempting to rescue her dog. The woman only sustained minor scratches while trudging through the brush to recover her pet.
Meredith will be assessing the safety of the park with Kansas State University wildlife control specialists over the next few days.
