For the past five year, the City's dog park has been known as the Nutro Dog Park under a sponsorship agreement with Nutro. At the March 13, 2017 City Commission meeting, the Commission approved a new three year sponsorship agreement with Mars Petcare for the dog park at Tower Park. As part of the sponsorship negotiations, Mars indicated that it wanted the City to name the dog park with Mars Petcare being recognized as the park sponsor.
At its March 6, 2017 meeting, the Park Board was given six potential names that were provided by staff. The Park Board selected Barkwood Dog Park as the name it is recommending to the City Commission for adoption. If the new name is approved, appropriate new signage will be installed using funds accumulated from the sponsorship agreement.
Please contact the Parks Director or Community Relations Director if you have any questions.
