Muscatine, the time has arrived! Four-legged friend, rejoice!

Join the Greater Muscatine Chamber of Commerce for the official Ribbon Cutting at the Muscatine Dog Park (600 S Houser St. Muscatine), this Thursday Nov 1 at 4 p.m.

Citizens for an Off-leash Muscatine Park (COMP4DOGS) worked with the City of Muscatine and the Community Improvement Action Team (CIAT) to develop and implement the project. The site features a half-acre senior dog area, a 1.5 acre area for small dogs, and a three acre enclosure for large dogs. The project was one of four projects that were part of The Pearls of Progress Project which successfully pursued and received a Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) grant from the state of Iowa.

COMP4DOGS will also hold Field Days at the new Muscatine Dog Park with volunteers from COMP available to answer questions about the rules, permits, and dog park etiquette. The Field Days will be held on Saturday, Nov 3, and Sunday, Nov 11 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
