The City of Hoisington is still awaiting word if they received a $25,000 grant to help construct a dog park. Hoisington applied for the grant through PetSafe and should find out in August or September.

The dog park would be located in Bicentennial Park.

Hoisington City Manager Jonathan Mitchell says the project would still need a few donations, but Karla Crissman from Clara Barton Hospital has played a huge role in spearheading the project.

The park itself will be 150 feet by 200 feet and a chain link fence will divide the park for bigger and smaller dogs.

The park will also include watering fountains, dog waste stations, shelter area, and an obstacle course.
