Dog Park Walkathon

A fundraiser takes place Saturday to help build San Angelo's first dog park.

The event runs from 10 to 2 at Unidad Park on Vista Del Arroyo Drive off College Hills Drive.

This dog park walkathon includes walks around the park trail.  A prize goes to the walker who completes the most laps.

Participants should donate 10 dollars for the walk and may bring their dogs.

The fundraiser includes a silent auction, a fashion show for the dogs, and dog photos.

People can also donate 50 dollars towards pavers to memorialize and honor dogs.

An anonymous donor wants to match donations up to $15,000 through Saturday.

The dog park would include a fenced area for larger dogs and a separate one for smaller ones.  It would sit on city land, most likely as part of the larger Red Arroyo hike and bike trail project.

Construction cost estimates run between $75,000 and $150,000.
