Animals were banned from Civic Center ballfields in 2013. Since that time, the idea of a dog park has been tossed around. Pictured is Rossie Holmes and her familys Boston terrier, Toni.
Establishing a dog park in the city of McMinnville is back under consideration.According to Friends of the Greenway member Trevor Galligan, the group has found a $50,000 tourism grant from the state Department of Environment and Conservation and it needs the city to submit the grant they write and dedicate the matching funds of $5,000 if it is awarded.“We found out about this grant on March 11 so we haven’t had a lot of time to move on this,” said Galligan. “It’s a grant that has to be submitted by either city or county and all the work has to take place on city or county property. It’s a 90-10 match.
