Vote for Tucson to Win Dog Park Grant
Tucson has been nominated for a PetSafe® dog park grant to help build a new dog park at Lincoln Park. This dog park will be grass and have three separate areas to help support the maintenance of the park. With this grant, Tucson will be able to add more amenities to the dog park that the community is dreaming of, like a water spray feature to keep cool during the extreme heat during the summer and a giant obstacle course for the dogs to play on and enjoy.
In addition, pet water fountains, trees, and other play equipment will be added to truly make this dog park different than any other dog park in the city. Now through August 31, 2022, anyone over the age of 18 that lives within the U.S. can vote once per day, every day at the website below. The community is encouraged to share the voting opportunity with their friends and followers on all social media platforms.
Vote every day through Aug. 31 at barkforyourpark.com.

 On Nov. 6, 2018, City of Tucson voters approved Proposition 407, a $225 million bond package for capital improvements via General Obligation bonds. The bond funds are dedicated to improving City park amenities (playgrounds, sports fields, pools, splash pads, and recreation centers) as well as connections (pedestrian pathways, bicycle pathways, and pedestrian and bicycle safety). Projects will happen in phases through 2028. Thank you, Tucson voters! For more information on all the projects planned using Tucson Delivers bond funds, visit TucsonDelivers.Tucsonaz.gov.
