Council backs 'Plain City Pup' name for new dog park

Council voted May 6 to support the Parks and Recreation committee’s recommendation for the new dog park’s name and discussed timing for a ribbon-cutting.

A parks representative said the committee had discussed several naming options and favored a memorable, locally themed name; the committee recommended a name with a “catchy ring,” and the council moved to support the parks committee’s choice. Council members confirmed there are two separate fenced areas for small and large dogs and that the contractor will continue work on soil and grass establishment before the planned ribbon-cutting.

The motion to support the parks committee idea was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Next steps: staff will schedule the ribbon-cutting after turf establishment and finalize signage and event details.
