Grand Island to Dedicate New Dog Park on Oct. 15

city-of-grand-islandGRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Workers are putting the finishing touches on a new Grand Island dog park before its dedication later this month.

Parks workers will spend the next week installing a dog teeter-totter, climbing ramp, jumping hoop, agility training table, hitching post and plastic fire hydrants — all made from recycled plastic water bottles.

The dog park at L.E. Ray Lake at Highway 34 and Blaine Street is set to be dedicated on Oct. 15.

Parks and Recreation Director Todd McCoy says the city’s first dog park opened for use late this summer. It includes a three-acre area natural setting for use by all dogs and a smaller, more manicured one-third acre area for small dogs.
