Webster Community Dog Park & ADA Accessible Park
Enjoy Our Park • Honor Your Pet
In 2012, a dog park was created just one mile north of Webster on Highway 35 fire number 27383. The Village of Webster provided the land, and volunteers raised the funds to purchase and install fencing, signs, etc. The park is up and running, and provides an excellent area to exercise dogs (and owners), provides an atmosphere for socialization, and is a nice area to get away. It has separate areas for small dogs and large dogs, as well as a training area and all areas are double gated to prevent runaways.
In 2013, DSI (Diversifies Services Inc.) received a Bremer Foundation Grant to develop an ADA accessible trail around the park, purchase accessible playground equipment, improve the parking area, and do landscaping, plant flowers etc. Interfaith Caregivers provided the volunteers to clear these areas, and the initial excavation was done in the fall of 2013.
In 2014, the parking areas and ½ of the trail will be paved. Accessible playground equipment, picnic tables and other amenities will be purchased and installed. Usage and popularity continues to grow, and Webster was recently added to a “Western Wisconsin Dog Park Tour.”
