Oct. 16, 2008 — The city is considering a location for a second leash-free dog park in La Crosse. Parks and Recreation Director Steve Carlyon is eyeing about 15 acres off Cunningham Street on the North Side.
It would likely cost about $40,000 to fence-in and the land and supply watering and clean-up stations.
But dog owners might have to pay to play. Carlyon is hoping to added an extra couple bucks on the cost of a Humane Society-issued dog tag to generate a park maintenance fund.
Carlyon said a deal with a sponsor may be in the works, though he declined to name the potential donor.
City officials also are proposing changes to where canines are allowed in city parks. If approved, dogs would be permitted only on park sidewalks and walkways with leashes shorter than 6 feet.
