The City of Nelsonville is pleased to announce that the Nelsonville Dog Park has been awarded a grant from the Ohio one-time strategic community investments grant program. The grant program award that is a 100% grant, and is for $139,731.00, to be used for continued construction and improvements for the Nelsonville Dog Park, located at 1157 Dog Park Lane. The one-time strategic community investments grant program provides financial support to specific organizations involved in designated community projects across Ohio, aimed at enhancing infrastructure, economic development, and quality of life.

The Nelsonville Dog Park Board is reviewing multiple projects that the grant funds can be spent on. This includes pet waste stations, trash receptacles, dog play and agility equipment, shade areas, security lighting and cameras, and possible renovation of the old sewer plant office.

The dog park initial construction was completed in the fall of 2025 but has not been opened yet. The Dog Park Board is letting the grass recover from the construction and grow. They are hoping to open the park in May 2026.

Thank you for your help and support for the Nelsonville Dog Park!
