Dogs. I love them. They have nothing to do with mortgages, but since I love them – I’m going to tell you about the city of Urbandale’s proposal. Since Urbandale is a part of the greater Des Moines area, this is good stuff to know. I grew up in Urbandale and love the community. Ok, the news – Urbandale is currently considering adding a new dog park. Good stuff huh?
Big thanks to the Des Moines Register for the heads up! Here are the details:
“A public forum has been scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 12 at the Urbandale Senior Center, 7305 Aurora Ave., to discuss plans for a proposed dog park.
A dog park is a fenced in area for dogs where they can exercise and enjoy the outdoors without having to wear a leash.
The park would be located in Northview Park, a 67-acre regional park in the northwest corner of the city. The dog park itself would be approximately 3.5 acres just west of 72nd Street and north of Plum Drive. A parking lot is also planned off of 72nd Street.
The city budgeted $65,000 for the 2008 fiscal year, which ends July 1, for design and construction costs to build the park.”
If you live in central Iowa and love dogs – this is a big, big deal. We need more places to take our dogs to hang out and make buds and this is just one more possible place to go. If this matters to you, be there or be square. Again, Thursday, June 12th at 7:00pm. You rock.. now let’s be a part of an exciting project!

Is this plan still in the works for a dog park in Urbandale? Do you need assistance with anything?
