The City of Mazeppa is making ready another facility ready to use. Land was granted to the City to be designated for public use. The City had discussed areas to create a dog park for residents to use. A dog park is being constructed on 11th Ave. NE on a parcel of land that was part of the Mazeppa Business Park. The plan is to connect this to the rest of a “walkable” Mazeppa with a trail. The dog park will allow dog owners to have a fenced area to allow their dogs to run off leash. These pet owners will still have to supervise their pet’s behavior, but they will be allowed to run without fear of them breaking away into traffic or interfering with neighbors.
There is still quite a bit of work to do. A parking area will be constructed. Some landscaping and grading items will be needed to be completed for safety and convenience. The City will announce the opening once this work is completed. When the facility is ready for use, persons using the dog park will have to clean up after their pet and dispose of feces properly, just same as in parks and along sidewalks. Watch the website, Mazeppamn.us for dog park opening information.
