Dog Park Moving Forward

A new dog park could be coming to San Angelo. The city council voted to move forward with the idea. Proposed locations for dog park are near Lone Wolf Bridge or near College Hills. The second location would be cheaper with development costs ranging from $50-$150,000 Ideally, the dog park would be 2 acres with separate parks for smaller and larger dogs. The city is working on a collaborative plan with the Girl Scouts to raise the money for the park. Fundraisers, grants and walkathons were some ideas proposed by local girl scout,  Megan Allgeier - who presented her research and ideas to make the dog park a reality. Kandi Pool said the San Angelo Association of Realtors said they would be willing to help with the project where they can. The council approved item and gave the dog park the green light to move forward. No city money was requested. Not everyone is thrilled with the idea of a dog park. Some residents feel money should be directed to infrastructure, street maintenance, and water supply.
