A small group of Shaunavon residents have committed to building a small, fenced in Dog Park for dogs and their owners to enjoy.

Garrett Thienes from the Organizing Committee says the group is looking to raise $15,000 for construction of the double gated fence around the area.

He said, "About 200 feet by 200 feet about six foot high chain link.  We're gonna be adding receptacles for garbage, and dispensers for doo-doo bags, so we kinda ask everyone else when they go and use it to keep it clean. The space we've been allocated is just behind Prairie View Estates, so it's really accessible which is great."

The parcel of land was given to the group by The Town of Shaunavon.

Thienes says they are also looking for old tires and park benches for the Dog Park.

The group is hoping to construct the Dog Park this fall or next spring.
