This new skills-based dog park will be located within the Powers Development and will provide dedicated large dog and small dog facilities, which will allow your dog to run, play and meet new friends. Unique to this facility is the addition of dog playground equipment, which provides physical exercise, mental stimulation and social interaction. Shaded seating areas and picnic tables for dog owners, as well as water stations will be available.

Alignment to Community Priorities and Goals

The addition of this new dog park will accommodate the need for more dog facilities, especially on the growing west side of town.
