(PRWEB) October 21, 2013 -- WHAT:
Greensboro has a new place for dog owners to unleash their best friends for play. WhiteStone – North Carolina’s first senior living community – will officially open “WoofStone Park,” an off-leash dog park. A ceremonial ribbon cutting and unleashing of the dogs will be held. The dog park is fenced, is approximately 115’ x 70’ in size and offers amenities such as seating, dog waste bags and trash cans, along with a few squeaky toys, ropes and tennis balls for all to share.

WHY:
“Barktoberfest” and the opening of “WoofStone Park” once again shine the spotlight on Whitestone’s brand-new wellness services and amenities. According to Colin Milner, CEO of the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), activity and exercise is a tool that can help prevent the health issues many seniors face. As people more commonly view fitness and well-being as a form of medicine, today’s active seniors look for communities like Whitestone that offer an array of amenities that encourage activity, interaction and physical fitness.
Whitestone has been recognized for demonstrating the latest trends in senior living design with two design excellence awards from the National Association of Home Builders, including the 2012 “Best of 50+ Senior Housing” Silver Award and the 2011 “Long-Term Living Best in Class” Award.
