The Town of Trion will open a new dog park in August to honor Brinley Corbin, a former resident who died from cancer at 26. Brinley dreamed of having a space for dogs to play, inspired by her love for her yellow lab, Millie. The park, named the “Brinley Corbin Memorial Dog Park,” will cover about one acre and will have separate fenced areas for small and large dogs. It will include features like agility obstacles, hoops, a water fountain, shaded areas with trees, and benches for pet owners. Currently, the town is focused on building a perimeter fence and is accepting sealed bids for the fencing contract until June 23, 2025, at 12:00 p. m. Brinley was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor in June 2023, but her friends and family remember her positivity and love for her community. The dog park project is funded by $20,000 from sales tax revenue, although there are some concerns about managing animal waste and health issues. Mayor Lanny Thomas, a close friend of the Corbin family, is leading the effort to make this park a reality, aiming to fulfill Brinley’s vision and create a joyful space for families and their pets.
