Downtown Dog Park to Open June 15

The one-acre PetSafe Downtown Dog Park will officially open to the public on June 15. The official opening ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. at the southeast corner of the intersection of Summit Hill Drive and Central Avenue. This $162,000 facility contains large and small dog areas, a concrete plaza with benches, plush landscaping, and a crushed-stone trail. This is the fourth dog park in Knoxville, following Tommy Schumpert Park, Victor Ashe Park and PetSafe Village. Officials from City of Knoxville and Radio Systems Corporation (who funded the park) will be on-hand to dedicate the park.
