When Moundridge resident Lori Frazer moved from a house with a big yard to an apartment with no yard, she realized her city needed a dog park.
When she jokingly mentioned the idea to Moundridge City Administrator Randy Frazer (who is also her brother-in-law), he encouraged her to take action.
“I formed a committee…and we took it to city coucil,” Lori said.
Amy Stinchcomb, owner of Pawsitive Pet Styles, is also a member of the dog park committee. She said the project will benefit all Moundridge residents, not just pet owners.
“It keeps the dogs out of the regular park so that people who do enjoy getting out with their dogs have somewhere to go and they don’t have to worry about bothering (anyone),” Stinchcomb said.
The city unanimously approved the proposal for a dog park and donated around an acre of city-owned land west of the Grasshopper Field baseball diamonds.
