Mattoon is opening a new dog park.
Event organizer Katrina Butler said the city is getting a new dog park after construction started in 2018.
Butler said Mattoon donated the land, on the 200 block of Shelby Avenue, plans were abandoned for another site due to pandemic-related labor shortages, and problems with utility access.
She said a ribbon cutting ceremony is planned October 8th, and it will feature guest speakers and vendors.
Butler said the park has the basic amenities, and more will be added, like shade trees and a walking path, as they receive more donations.
