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.

Progress on the dog park was made before winter set in. The water lines are in, the shelter pad is down, the shelter frame is up, and the entrance area excavated. All of the equipment for the dog park is purchased and stored here.

The 100’x300’ area is located near the end of East Lehr Avenue. It would be the northern most part of Ada War Memorial Park. There will be an area for small dogs and an area for large dogs to run leash-free. There are more than 1,400 dogs in the Ada area.
