Veterans Dog Park opening after ceremony May 25
A dog park honoring US veterans is set to open during a ceremony at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 25 at the corner of Wapella Street and Wabena Avenue in Minooka. “A lonely, empty piece of green grass on a hill in downtown Minooka, Illinois is now one of the most beautiful Veterans Dog Parks in the country,” reads a Tuesday news release. “For three years, a lifelong resident drove by the open green pasture with a dream to design and construct a park for residents to bring their dogs to run and play off leash, but also a place to honor our Veterans. He envisioned a special place for Veterans to reminisce on their time wearing the uniform and their dedication and sacrifice for all those loved and lost.”
