About The park is approximately 10 acres, located between 24th Street North and 25th Street North. It has a small dog park and a large dog park, waste stations, drinking water for the pups (coming in 2024), and a paved parking lot.
A site was selected for the approximately 10-acre dog park in 2022 and staff conducted appropriate research to ensure the site would work well as a dog park. On November 14, 2022, the Parks and Recreation Commission voted in favor of moving forward with the dog park plans and expenditures, including clearing and grubbing and installation of fencing, not to exceed $130,000, which is being funded by room tax revenues. Room tax revenues are collected from all of the city’s lodging establishments and tourist rooming houses.
How to Donate While the necessities for the project are fully funded by room tax revenues, the public is encouraged to consider providing financial donations to help furnish the dog park with a pavilion, agility equipment, park signage and more.
