The Ada Dog Park has met its fundraising goal and hopes are that the park will be open by late May or early June.
The fence at the pool will be taken down and used for the dog park, so the opening of the park is dependent on the pool work. Many fence workers were on hand at the pool on Monday dismantling the old fence and installing the new.
