Hobart Park Department schedules dog-park ribbon-cutting, summer events
Summary
Park Director announced a ribbon-cutting for Hobart Dog Park on May 17 (200 W. 8th St.), summer events including Lakefront Festival (June 4–7) and pool opening (June 8); the Common Council also approved dog-park fees and will partner with the Humane Society on fob sign-ups.
HOBART CITY — The Park Board heard an events update May 11 from Park Director Mrs. Mandon, who said the city will hold a ribbon-cutting for the new Hobart Dog Park at 200 W. 8th St. on Sunday, May 17 at noon and that the Humane Society will be on site to sign residents up for key fobs. Mrs. Mandon said the fob fees will go to the Humane Society to help cover their costs while the Park Department will handle ongoing maintenance.
Mrs. Mandon also highlighted a string of summer programs: Maker’s Monday (succulent planting class), a Roller Skate Night on May 15 at the PCC building, the Lakefront Festival scheduled for June 4–7 and the municipal pool opening on June 8. She credited community volunteers and city staff for a recent successful community clean-up and downtown plantings sourced from Johnson’s farm.
Council Representative Mr. Rodriquez reported that the Common Council approved fees for the Hobart Dog Park; the minutes do not include the fee amounts. The Park Board did not take separate action on fees during the May 11 meeting; the board’s public-facing ribbon-cutting and maintenance role were described by staff.
Next steps: Dog-park operations will begin following the ribbon-cutting; residents interested in key fobs can sign up with the Humane Society at the event.
