WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — While the park itself has been open for a couple of weeks, its grand celebration is coming up.
The Wausau 2 Hearts Dog Park will have its grand opening celebration on Saturday, June 5th from 10 a.m. to noon. The grand opening celebration will include raffle prizes, doggy treats provided by local businesses, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Mayor.
At the celebration, residents can learn more about how the dog park got its name along with seeing the list of donors for the project. The City of Wausau has been working on the dog park project since the beginning of 2019. Plans for the dog park ramped up at the end of that year and continued through 2020 to its soft opening on May 15th, 2021.
The dog park located at 224 S. 4th Street and includes a fenced small dog area, large fenced area for dogs, drinking fountain, benches, dog waste stations, street, and on-site parking. Regular park hours are from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day of the week.
