Dog Park News 

5/17/2012

 
MPRB are anticipating that the construction documents for the Sixth District Dog Park will be complete by June 1. They will then go out to bid to determine the contractor and secure any necessary permits. They aim to begin construction in July with an early fall completion. The exact timing for opening the park will depend on how quickly the contractor can advance the project, and this is typically dependent on weather conditions. Be patient pups, not long now!
