Ada Dog Park to open June 23

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, June 2, 2018

The Grand Opening of the Ada Dog Park is slated for 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 23. All are invited...dogs, too.

The large 300’x100’ park is part of Ada War Memorial Park. It is located at the end of East Lehr Avenue (turn east at the Church of Christ on Main Street). 

The dog park includes a shelter, benches, water availability, an area for large dogs and one for small dogs, all fenced so that dogs can be off-leash for play, exercise, and socialization. More trees will be added later.
